Share the following story and have one of the kids role play how they would tell someone about the Church...

"In a Relief Society Meeting in a Conference I attended in Sacramento, California, a sister told this story. "She said she was living in San Francisco; while traveling on the train to visit her son in Salt Lake City, she noticed a young boy about nine years old traveling alone. She said, 'He was such a cute young fellow I tried to visit with him. I asked him about his school, and he didn't seem too much interested. I tried to visit with him about the games he liked to play, and he did not seem very interested. Then he spoke up and said, "You are going to Salt Lake, aren't you?" When I answered that I was, he said, "Then you are a Mormon, aren't you?" I replied, "No, I am a Catholic." Then he said, "Well, I am a Mormon boy. Would you like me to tell you about my Church?"

 

'The sister continued, 'Even a Catholic couldn't refuse to listen to a little boy who wanted to talk about his Church. He told me how Joseph Smith didn't know which church to join and how he went into the woods to pray. He told me of the visit of the Father and Son, and of the visit of Moroni who delivered to Joseph the plates from which the Book of Mormon was translated. Then he quoted me the Articles of Faith. When he went to bed that night in one of the upper berths, his light burned quite late so I asked him the next morning why it took him so long to settle down. He replied, "I always have to read a chapter in the Book of Mormon before I go to sleep."' Book of Mormon Manual p.269 "When this woman arrived in Salt Lake, her son met her and took her to the Hotel Temple Square. She then went through the Temple Block with a guide, purchased a Book of Mormon and read it, then met Bishop Clawson who taught her further the truths of the gospel. She was baptized a member of the Church, and returned to San Francisco, a Latter-day Saint instead of a Catholic, all because of this young Primary boy and his knowledge of his Church."

(LeGrand Richards, Just to Illustrate, pp. 155-56.)
