“Be It unto Me according to Thy Word”Younger Children

Lesson Packet for Latter-day Saints by LovePrayTeach.com

Preparation:When preparing these lesson helps we follow the lesson outline closely. We will never vary from the

doctrine taught in the lesson outline. It is important that you always read through the lesson and all of the

suggested scriptures. Then read through the helps we have provided and pray about which activities will

be the most beneficial to your class. As always follow the guidance of the Spirit. The thing I love most about

the Come, Follow Me format is that it is designed for the kids to take an active role in their learning. We

have designed our lesson helps to help facilitate a lesson full of thought and discussion. In your preparation

be sure to leave time for the kids to share ideas, questions, and experiences!

You will only have 20 minutes to teach, so choose which part of the scriptures you'd like to teach and use

the activities below to help you.

Character Cutouts:You can use these images to help you tell the stories in the lesson. Print them on cardstock so they are

studier. Hang them on the board or attach a popsicle stick to each and use them as puppets. Give the

children turns to retell the stories using the puppets!

• bow your head

• close your eyes

• fold your arms

• feet on the floor (or kneel)

• say the prayer (for Simon Says, just have the children pretend to say a prayer

by moving their mouths up and down quietly)

Prayer Activities:Little children need many reminders of what to do when we pray! Print off these prayer cards and cut them

out. After talking about Elisabeth and Zacharias, show the cards one by one and have the children do the

action on the card as you teach them about prayer. A fun game to go with this would be Simon Says! Hold

up a card when you say "Simon Says ... bow your head". If you don't say "Simon Says" and the child

moves, then they need to sit down. You'll probably need to play this a few times in a row for the children

to understand how to play.

The cards are:

Weekly Reading Handout:Give each child one of the handout's below as they leave the classroom. We will be including these each

week so use them however you'd like! You can have the children bring them back to class each Sunday or

give them to their parents for a fun activity during family scripture time that week!

Ideas from the Friend Magazine:Ideas from the Friend Magazine:"Caleb's Bedtime Prayer""Caleb's Bedtime Prayer"

"A Prayer to Heavenly Father""A Prayer to Heavenly Father"

"Elisabeth and Zacharias""Elisabeth and Zacharias"

Poster:To help the children learn how Jesus Christ is the son of God, show them this

picture. Have them repeat the phrase. If you have a class that can read, cover the

words and see if they can still say it. If you'd like to do a coloring activity, have the

children color the front of the black and white copy and then have them draw a

picture of their parents on the back.

If you're going to use the coloring page from this lesson in the manual, you could cut out the squares

before class. Pass out one of the worksheets below with crayons and glue sticks. Help the children put

the squares in the right columns.
