Week 5 March: “I Have Remembered My Covenant”

Week 4 March: “I Have Remembered My Covenant”

Scriptures: Exodus 1–6
Theme: God remembers His covenants and helps us do His work.

1. God Remembers His Promises

Scripture Focus: Exodus 6:6–7

Discussion:

  • How do we know God remembers His promises?

  • When have you felt God’s help?

Activity Ideas:

  • Promise Cards: Draw or write one promise from God. Hang where children can see it.

  • Writing Practice: Have children write the word “God”, “help”, or “promise” on a tracing sheet.

Math Connection:

  • Counting Promises: Count how many promises are written on cards or displayed.

  • Sorting: Sort promises by type (help, love, protection, guidance).

2. God Can Work Through Me

Scripture Focus: Exodus 1–2

Discussion:

  • How did Moses’ mother, sister, and Pharaoh’s daughter help?

  • How can we help others in God’s work?

Activity Ideas:

  • Helping Hands Craft: Trace your hands; write or draw ways to help others.

  • Writing Practice: Short sentences like: “I can help by _______.”

Math Connection:

  • Hands Counting: Count the traced hands. Add or subtract ways to help.

  • Patterning: Decorate hands with color patterns (e.g., red-blue-red-blue).

3. Treat Holy Places with Reverence

Scripture Focus: Exodus 3:1–5

Discussion:

  • How did Moses show reverence at the burning bush?

  • What sacred places do we have?

Activity Ideas:

  • Reverence Hunt: Identify or draw sacred places at home/school.

  • Writing Practice: Draw a picture of a sacred place and write “This is sacred.”

Math Connection:

  • Position Words: Place objects “near” or “far” from a sacred item (prepositions).

  • Counting Steps: Count steps when children pretend to approach a holy place (linking physical movement to numbers).

4. God Will Help Me Do Hard Things

Scripture Focus: Exodus 3–4

Discussion:

  • How did Moses feel?

  • How can God help us when things feel hard?

Activity Ideas:

  • Moses Role-Play: Use props like a flashlight for the burning bush.

  • Writing Practice: Write a sentence: “God helps me ______.”

Math Connection:

  • Sequencing: Order steps Moses took (heard God → asked questions → obeyed).

  • Simple Addition: Count objects Moses might have seen in the desert or around the bush (rocks, plants, animals).

5. Connecting to Jesus Christ

  • Just as Moses delivered Israel, Jesus delivers us spiritually.

  • Activity: Draw a comparison chart with Moses and Jesus, writing 1–2 words for each (e.g., “Deliverer,” “Guide”).

  • Math Connection: Count the number of ways Jesus helps us (draw symbols or tally marks).

Optional Craft & Game Ideas

  • Burning Bush Craft: Use tissue paper flames; write ways God helps us.

  • Number Game: “Steps to Help” – children roll dice to move forward on a path to help someone, counting steps.

  • Tracing: Words like God, Help, Moses, Promise.

Welcome!

  Welcome to Tiny Testimonies, Big Adventures! Hi friends! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Janille — a homeschooling mom, former Title 1 paraprofessional, and a firm believer that even the tiniest hearts can feel the Spirit and build a testimony of Jesus Christ. When my oldest children were little, I wanted and still want my little ones to have our  Come, Follow Me  lessons to be more than coloring pages and scripture storybooks. I want them to  move, build, sing, explore, count, and create  while learning the gospel. I want our mornings to feel like an adventure with Heavenly Father guiding every discovery. That’s how  Tiny Testimonies, Big Adventures  began. Each week, I’ll share  simple, original, play-based gospel activities  inspired by the  Come, Follow Me  lessons for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These activities help preschoolers: Strengthen their  faith and testimony Build early  reading and math ...

Week 3 December: Learning About Jesus Through the Old Testament and Christmas Traditions

  Week 3 December: Learning About Jesus Through the Old Testament and Christmas Traditions The Old Testament teaches me about Jesus. You and your children can use Christmas decorations to start a conversation about Jesus Christ. Talk about how a Christmas star, lights, or a gift can remind us of the Savior. Then explore scriptures that symbolize Him: Genesis 22:8 – Jesus as a lamb Numbers 24:17 – Jesus as a star Psalms 23:1 – Jesus as a shepherd Psalms 27:1 – Jesus as light Activity Ideas: Children hold up a picture or decoration that matches each scripture as you read it together. Discuss: How is Jesus like a lamb, star, shepherd, or light? Sing a Christmas song together, such as “Stars Were Gleaming” (Children’s Songbook, 37). Visual: Picture of baby Jesus (for Isaiah 9:6) Ask children to point to the baby Jesus when they hear the phrase “a child is born.” Share your testimony that prophets in the Old Testament knew Jesus would be born....

Week 5: God Helps Me Do Hard Things

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...
