BASEL, SWITZERLAND World’s Premier Live Event for Physical Education Teachers Working with Ages 3-7
My internet was down for several days last week. Sorry if you were one of those trying to access my mini sacrament book. So this one is also a little late and I'll be posting the lesson 41 later this week in hopes to catch up. So here we go. Here are some fun primary lesson helps for Lesson 40 I can forgive others. I really love this lesson, especially the scripture story. Attention activity: We are going to act out the scenario. Bring books and paper (or any other items that can be dropped). Ask 2 children to help you act out this scenario. If you have the option of either older kids that can read or an extra teacher in your class-have them go in the hall and quickly plan out how they want to do this. If this is not an option for you then just help them wing it as you read the scenario to the class :) I've included a page to hand to the children/other teacher if you are going to go that route. Also my class LOVED the action clapper we used a few lessons ago so I included one of those too. (The title has been update in this download) To use print the 2 pages on cardstock and cut. Attach the top piece with a brad. Let the kids take turns saying action and cut. Teacher presentation: I had a few ideas to do this. First print both pages. idea #1-cut around the pattern hearts BUT leave a little bit on the side so it stays connected but becomes like a little door. Glue the paper with the words directly behind it so when you open the little "door hearts" you can see the words. Have the kids take turns opening the "doors" and read what's behind it. idea #2. Leave the pattern heart page as is. Cut out the hearts with words and hide them around the room. Have the kids hunt for them and when they are found glue them to the top of the patterned hearts. Scripture Story: I chose to use real picture instead of clip art (all images are from lds.org). Each page has the words from the manual. These specific words brought the spirit into my heart so strong and I felt that I needed to share them word for word. I teach the 7 & 8 year olds and will be using these with my class. However, decide if your class (and age) group will be okay with seeing these pictures. In the download there are 4 pages with words for this story. I've included both full page for each as well as the smaller story cards size that can easily be printed and cut apart. For the full page you can print them or save some ink and show on your computer or phone. If there is interest I can also include the jpeg. version that you can have printed at your favorite store. Let me know :) Word Strip: Print and display Story about Kent: Instead of my usual story cards we are going to do puppets! Cut around each image and attach to a Popsicle stick. Discussion and Review activity: Going with the leaf theme I have 3 ideas for this game as well. 1st idea: Print the leaves and the rake. (cardstock for the rake). Cut around the leaves and the rake. Attach a magnet on the back side of the rake. Add paperclips only to the leaves with numbers. Mix and dump the leaves on the table. Have the kids take turns raking up the leaves until they find one that sticks. Ask the question that corresponds with the number on the leaf. (I'll add some pictures of this in action soon) 2nd idea: Print just the extra page of leaves. Number them 1-9 (you will need to take off 2 of the questions from the review page). Place them in a bag and let the kids draw a leaf and ask the question. 3rd idea: Print and cut all of the leaves (not the extra page of leaves) and the rake (2 if you want to make it a race). Spread them out on the table or floor. Call out a number between 1 and 11. Have them quickly find the correct number and slap it with the rake. Ask the question that goes with the number. You can add magnets and paper clips for some extra fun. Enrichment ideas: Alternate coloring page Enrichment activity 1: This idea teaches the same concept- For my class I am going to try this paper airplane idea. Then we are going to decorate and make paper airplanes. I have a group of 8 year old boys that do not have a lot of interest in any activity. I'm hoping this will inspire them to listen and participate. Here's a cute coloring page to go with the airplane idea Another great visual idea: found here Enrichment idea #3: I found cute puppets here Download the lesson helps here and here

D&C 62:23“Heavenly Father wants me to learn the gospel. Children are constantly learning. Help them see that Heavenly Father will help them learn about Him if they obey His Commandments.”My suggestion: Attach the well to an empty cup. Depending on the age of the children, explain that during Joseph Smith’s time a well of water was the only way to get water. Hold the empty cup out to the children and ask them what happens when the well dries out. Ask them what happens to our bodies when we never
Ideas for Teaching Children1 Nephi 16:10, 28–29; 18:8–13, 20–22When I keep the commandments, the Lord guides me. • If you have a compass, a map, or something else that helps us find our way, you could show it to your children. • This could be a good way to begin a discussion about the Liahona, which you can read about in 1 Nephi 16:10, 28–29. What are some reasons a compass or map might not work? Why did the Liahona sometimes not work for Lehi’s family? (see 1 Nephi 18:9–12, 20–22). What has He
Ideas for Teaching Children2 Nephi 3:6–24Joseph Smith was a prophet. • Consider how you can teach your children about the great work that God accomplished through Joseph Smith. To begin, you could help your children find the word “seer” in 2 Nephi 3:6 and explain that prophets are called seers because Heavenly Father helps them see things we can’t see. For older children: Use this to help memorize the scripture. Read it together, then have them choose what shape they want to cover which words. T

Alma 24:6–24The Lord blesses me as I strive to keep my promises to Him. • Perhaps your children would enjoy burying their “weapons” like the Anti-Nephi-Lehies. You could read a few verses from Alma 24:6–24 to teach the children about the promises the Anti-Nephi-Lehies made to follow the Savior. They could then think of something they will change to follow Him, write it on this week’s activity page, and pretend to dig a hole and bury their weapon.You can use this printable to help tell the story.
Alma 1:2–9The Lord can help me recognize false teachings. • One way to study Alma 1:2–4 with your children is to help them create a true-or-false quiz using statements taught by Nehor, a false teacher. Then you could talk with them about why Satan often combines truths with falsehoods. Help your children think of some examples. In verses 7–9, how did Gideon withstand Nehor’s lies? (See also “Chapter 20: Alma and Nehor,” Book of Mormon Stories, 54–55.)Great activity for older students. You know y
D&C 33:2-3, 6-10I can share the gospel of Jesus Christ.Invite the children to try to say a phrase like "God loves you" with their mouths closed. Point out that we can't teach people about the gospel if we don't open our mouths. Read D&C 33:8-10, and invite the children to open their mouths every-time they hear the phrase "open your mouths."Why does Heavenly Father want us to open our mouths and share the gospel with others?Print Here Black and White Print Here Black and White Place paper dolls o
Teach the Doctrine: Younger ChildrenMatthew 4:1–11; Luke 4:1–13I can choose the right as Jesus did.Little children “cannot sin” (Doctrine and Covenants 29:47). However, the account of Jesus resisting Satan’s temptations can inspire the children to choose the right.Possible Activities • Tell the story of Jesus’s temptations from Matthew 4:1–11. (See also “Chapter 11: Jesus Is Tempted,” in New Testament Stories, 30–31, or the corresponding video on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.) At appropriate points i
Mosiah 11–13; 17I can stand for Jesus Christ, even when I stand alone. • At some time in our lives, we all face pressure to make choices that go against our faith in Jesus Christ. What can your children learn from Abinadi about standing as a witness of Jesus Christ, even when it is unpopular? The artwork in this outline or “Chapter 14: Abinadi and King Noah” (in Book of Mormon Stories, 38–42) could help them visualize the account in Mosiah 11–13; 17. Ask them what they like about Abinadi.Here ar
I'm starting out with the best today. Mitzi from comefollowmekid.com asked me to draw/design some of her fun ideas for this weeks Christmas lesson. She is kind of a genius, and I'm grateful to be included in plans.Hide these pictures around the room, when the children find the pictures, ask them if the picture has to do with the real reason we celebrate Christmas. Then attach the pictures to toilet paper rolls. Add them to the 3D stable. I just rolled up little pieces of paper so they would
Ideas for Teaching Children1 Nephi 2:16I can have my own testimony. • How did Nephi know that what his father taught was true? Help your children find answers to this question in 1 Nephi 2:16, 19. They might also enjoy writing Nephi’s actions on blocks or other objects and then building something with the objects. This could lead to a conversation about how these actions help us build a testimony.Nephi is taped to a smaller cup so he can fit on top.This one is for younger children to build and t
Teach the Doctrine: Younger ChildrenJonah 1:4–17; 3:3–5The Lord blesses me when I obey Him.When the Lord asked Jonah to preach to the people of Nineveh, Jonah did not obey. Help the children understand that we are blessed when we obey the Lord.Possible Activities • Show pictures of the story of Jonah, and invite the children to tell what they know about the story (see “Jonah the Prophet” in Old Testament Stories; this week’s activity page; or this week’s outline in Come, Follow Me—For Individual
Ideas for Teaching Children2 Nephi 26:23–28, 33Jesus Christ wants everyone to come unto Him. • To teach your children about the Savior’s invitations in these verses, you might talk with them about times they invited people to a special event, like a birthday party. Then you could read 2 Nephi 26:23–28 together and find out what Jesus is inviting us to do. Your children might like to create a card inviting someone to come unto Jesus Christ. Encourage them to use a phrase from these verses in thei
Ideas for Teaching ChildrenDoctrine and Covenants 1:4, 37–39Through His prophets, the Lord warns me of spiritual danger. • To start a discussion about warnings from the Lord, you could talk about warnings we receive from other people about dangers we cannot see. Some examples might include a slippery floor, a coming storm, or an approaching car. Maybe you and your children could look at examples of warning signs and compare these warnings to the warnings the Lord gives us. According to Doctrine
