In the April 2021 General Conference, Joy D. Jones talked about Essential Conversations and how to prepare our children for everyday battles they may face.
She said, "Additional opportunities for essential conversations can occur through role-playing. Family members can act out situations of being tempted or pressured to make a bad choice. Such an exercise can fortify children to be prepared in a challenging setting. For example, we can act it out and then talk it out as we ask children what they would do:
-If they are tempted to break the Word of Wisdom.
-If they are exposed to pornography.
-If they are tempted to lie, steal, or cheat.
-If they hear something from a friend or teacher at school that disputes their beliefs or values.
As they act it out and then talk it out, rather than being caught unprepared in a hostile peer group setting, children can be armed with “the shield of faith wherewith [they] shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”14

For anyone wanting to implement act it out, talk it out from Sister Jones' Conference Talk I couldn't find any great printables but I found this worksheet and made an additional document included below. Let me know if you want the editable document. Also, if you find any other great resources, please share!
