Create Your Own Friend

The Friend magazine publishes stories, articles, and activities to help you learn about Jesus Christ, and to encourage you to follow His example. Have you ever wished that you could be in charge of making your own Friend magazine? You could pick all your favorite stories, have lots of activities, or have anything else you wanted. Well, here is your chance!

1. Take three sheets of paper and fold them in half. This will make a magazine with 10 inside pages, plus 2 covers (front and back). If you want more pages in your magazine, use more sheets of paper.

2. Have an adult put two staples in the center fold. If you need an example, look at your copy of the Friend. That’s how magazines are usually put together.

3. Draw a picture for the cover. Cut out Friend at the top of page 25 and use it on your own cover.

4. Fill up the pages of your magazine however you would like. You could put in stories or games, or borrow some things from the real Friend. Look at the list on this page of things that usually go in the magazine.
