Week 5: God Helps Me Do Hard Things This week focuses on Enoch and other examples from the scriptures showing that Heavenly Father helps us face challenges. Children can learn that they are never alone when they try to do what is right. Teaching Idea: Acting Out Challenges Read Moses 6:26–34 together, then invite your children to act out times when they felt nervous about doing something hard—like learning a new skill, sharing a testimony, or helping someone. Talk about how God helped Enoch and how He can help them too. Reading Activity: Have children dictate a short story about a time they did something hard with God’s help. You can write it down and let them “read” it back to you, practicing storytelling and comprehension. Colors & Art: Ask children to draw a “path of help,” showing themselves at the start and Jesus or Heavenly Father helping them along the way. They can use different colors for steps they took and help they received. Math Connection: Create a simple matchi...

Week 4: Jesus Christ Saves Us This week, we’re exploring an important story from the Old Testament: Adam and Eve and the Fall. Understanding this story helps children—and us—see why Jesus Christ’s Atonement is such a blessing in our lives. Teaching Idea: Sequencing and Discussion Print or draw pictures showing the story of Adam and Eve. Cut them out and work together to place the events in order. As you do this, ask questions like: “Why did Adam and Eve leave the Garden?” and “How does Jesus Christ help us when we make mistakes?” This helps children see the Fall not as something scary, but as part of Heavenly Father’s plan to bring us closer to Him. Reading Activity: Have your child “read” the pictures with you—telling the story in their own words. You can also highlight simple words in Moses 4:25 or Moses 5:8–11 like help , choose , or love for them to trace or recognize. Colors & Art: Give children crayons or colored pencils and ask them to draw two sentences: “Because of th...

Enhancing Early Literacy with Bible Parables As parents and educators, we understand the importance of laying a strong foundation for early literacy.

This week, we are starting an exciting adventure through the Old Testament. The stories are some of the oldest in the world — and they help us see Jesus Christ even before His birth on earth .

Week 2: I Am a Child of God Scriptures: Moses 1:1–4, 6, 12; Abraham 3:22–28 Theme: “I Am a Child of God” — and Heavenly Father has a special work for me to do! Hi friends! This week’s Come, Follow Me lesson helps our little ones learn one of the most powerful truths they’ll ever know — they are children of God! When we help preschoolers feel this truth, not just hear it, it changes how they see themselves and how they treat others. Let’s make this week full of love, learning, and discovery. 1. “I Am a Child of God” Mirror Message Scripture Focus: Moses 1:4 Give your child a small, safe mirror or a piece of foil to see their reflection. Say together: “I am a child of God.” Then take turns saying: “You are a child of God.” Extension ideas: Write the phrase I am a child of God in bubble letters and let your child trace it (fine motor + early reading). Match uppercase and lowercase letters from the phrase — “I” to “i,” “G” to “g.” Ask, “What does it mean t...
