This activity comes with two parts - the treasure hunt & the goals lesson

Treasure Hunt Directions:
1. Cover 10 pieces of candy for each player with the candy wrappers. Each child should have 1 candy for each treasure map item.
2. Place all the pieces (1 for each participant) for each category in a bowl. 3. Hide/Spread these bowls out. If I were in an LDS church, I would spread these out across classrooms… hidden if possible.
4. Place the "treasure hunt clues" nearby to help guide the children to the treasure hunt pieces, like the holy ghost
5. Give children the “Treasure Map” and a Ziploc bag and instruct them to go get 1 piece for each item on their map. They may be tempted to take more than 1 piece... but remember we should always choose the right!
6. Once all pieces have been collected, meet back for a Goal Setting Lesson. Give them the “congratulations” scroll.

Goal Setting Lesson Directions:
1. Give everyone who completed the treasure hunt, the “congratulations” scroll.
2. “Scripture Poster” - Put the two pages with the Luke 2:52 scripture together ( will need to cut of fold extra margin) and post up where everyone can see it.
3.Cut the words on this page out and have ask 4 volunteers to place these words in their correct place on the scripture poster.
4. Post up the four goal categories and make sure all children understand the different categories. Ask for examples of goals for each category (hint: there are some ideas in the back of the guidebook)
5. Post up the four growth patterns (discover, plan, act, reflect). Use the included “children’s goal setting” page to help go ever each pattern.
6. Point out that we also need to be working on memorizing and understand the articles of faith and living my gospel standards, which are both found at the back of the guidebook.
7. Pass out the “Children’s Goal Setting” page for children to bring home to their patents.
