| DeGrazia's "Little Prayer" |
Preparation:
Gather communication visual aids such as letter or postcard, walkie-talkie, old telephone with cord, radio, computer, cell phone, picture of telegraph, etc. Place on table or board at front of room. Write scripture references below on 6 strips of paper. Have blank papers and crayons or markers available.
Presentation:
(Display items/pictures.) All these things can be used for same thing. Guess what that is. Guess until it is figured out that all of them can be used to get messages from one person to another.
There is someone you can communicate with, without using any of these items. That person is Heavenly Father. You can talk to him whenever you need to, just by saying a prayer.

Activity:
Divide into 6 groups. Make sure leader is in each group. Give each group one
scripture references. Take a few minutes to read scripture and create simple
drawing that shows what scripture teaches about prayer (who, when, or where).
Let each group present their picture and explain their scripture.
3 Nephi 18:21. Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and your children may be blessed.
