| Contributed by: Janine Ransom janransom@hotmail.com The girls will be in groups of 2 or 3. They will have 5 minutes to
decide how to spend their money for the month from the budget sheets received. They will
flip a coin as each scenario is put forward to see if they spend the money or not. If any
of the groups run out of money before the end of the questions they need to approach the
Bishop for help.
Note: The Bishop should be notified ahead of time about this
lesson and be prepared to explain the process quickly. This will help the girls understand
humility if they are careless with their money and the ability of the church to help with
suggestions of where they went wrong and what types of help are available.
