Directions: Tape the pictures randomly on a chalk board or place them on the floor, face down. Have the children take turns turning over the pictures. When they find a match take time to talk about the picture of Jesus and how we can better follow his example.
Note: Our primary is divided into Jr. and Sr. sharing time groups so for the Jr. group I had each child turn over one picture, when a match was found we talked about it. This activity worked really well for our new sunbeams, we had 11 of them! With the Sr. group I printed out the following scriptures (located in the PDF) and had the children read them and then discuss how we can follow Jesus' example.
Optional Scriptures:

- Moro. 10: 4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
