To make this even more perfect for this week the lesson title is I Am The Good Shepherd and the board is made to match. If you would like to get these cute sheep pieces for the game just grab them HERE. We ended up coloring their tails with permanent marker to tell the pieces apart.
I mean look at these kiddos having so much fun!
This week I suggest you start the lesson off with this classic book, You Are Special. I highly recommend it, there are so many great lessons to teach from just this one picture book. If you don’t have a copy, you can grab one HERE or watch a read aloud HERE.
I provide you with all the details of how to use this book and relate it to the lesson in your summary sheet provided. This was a fun way to relate the story of the adulterer in an age appropriate way. I really think my kids got it. We chose to give compliments to family members, which was a huge success! Of course you guys can choose weather or not that is a good fit for your family.
Every week you get a coloring page in your materials. This one is so perfect for this week. I encourage you to memorize the truth on it and take it to heart.
As usual our weekly lesson provide you with six bonus ideas to use throughout the week. You can use one each night or switch some of the main lesson ideas for those. However you choose to do it will be perfect in your home! Here is just a sneak peak of one of the bonus items.
As a closing thought I wanted to share this with you from the Come Follow Me manual. Elder Dale G. Renlund said, “Surely, the Savior did not condone adultery. But He also did not condemn the woman. He encouraged her to reform her life. She was motivated to change because of His compassion and mercy.” What a beautiful thought for this week. Let us all do our part to love others around us. To give mercy, grace and follow Jesus Christ.
Have fun teaching your family!
Angie

Having the Spirit in our homes is essential to teaching kids the gospel of Jesus Christ. From the prophets Hosea and Joel, we learn that the Lord’s traits include being “gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and… great kindness” (Joel 2:13). If we show these traits as parents, we will create an environment where the Lord will “pour out his spirit” in our lives.
When Daniel stood up to the king and chose to protect his health, he showed incredible faith! This week, you can teach your children that same principle with the interactive Daniel Food Box craft and a batch of simple No-bake Energy Bites. As your family reads Daniel 1, you’ll get to talk about how fueling our bodies with healthy food is a wonderful way to express our devotion and love for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
Though the captive Israelites didn’t have a temple to worship in Babylon, they still held on to the blessings that came from keeping their covenants. We should teach our children that the temple is a special place, and its blessings can touch every part of our lives!
