OBJECTIVE:
Talk about agency and choices and each choice has a consequence: Immediate, Future, or Eternal. 

CHOOES THE RIGHT consequences spin-the-bottle
HOVER OVER or ZOOM IN (to view)

To Make: (1) Print, color, and cut out the wordstrips and signs. (2) Fill the bottle with the “smile” and “frown” wordstrips. Close the lid. (3) See details below to set up and play the game using the “Immediate Consequence,” “Future Consequence,” and “Eternal Consequence.” signs.

To Set Up Game: Tape to the floor or table in the center of a circle the “Immediate Consequence,” “Future Consequence,” and “Eternal Consequence” signs.

To Play: Have players sit around in a circle. Teams take turns having a player spin the bottle in the center inside the signs. The bottleneck should point to one of the signs. If the neck is on the border of the signs, choose the sign to the right of the bottleneck. The player pulls out a “smile” or “frown” word-strip and reads it aloud. Player names the consequence for that action that matches the type of consequence for where the bottleneck is pointing. For example the “Immediate Consequence” for “Stay up late” is you are tired the next day. Collect the smiles. When the bottle is empty, the team with the most “smiles” wins.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT – STAYING ON THE NARROW PATH DISCUSSION: 

• After singing “Choose the Right,” talk to girls about how when we make right choices the Holy Ghost guides and protects us. When we make right choices we are not left alone when we need help the most; the Spirit is always there. By praying and choosing “right” over “wrong” we can easily follow the Spirit and stay on the straight and narrow path that leads back to heaven.
• Tell the story and show the video of Sharon G. Larson: Second Counselor, Young Women General Presidency, in General Conference (Ensign, Oct. 2013 “Your Light in the Wilderness”). She tells how as a young girl, her father taught her how to drive the tractor and plow a straight line in the fields before planting. If she did not, the weeds would grow where she went off the straight and narrow path. To plow straight she should keep her eye focused on the fence post across the field – letting that be her goal, she could plow a straight line. He dad told her to pay attention always, comparing this to the temptations of the world that could throw us off course.
• Sister Larson says in her talk, “The Lord knows that you face challenges and temptations, and He provides the light that brightens your hearts, your minds, and your spirits. He has said that His word is truth and truth is light and light is the Spirit of Jesus Christ (see D&C 84:45).”
