This is the first lesson for our Book of Mormon study! We hope you are just as excited as we are! If you have a workbook, now is time for you to start using them. You will find the summary pages and instruction sheets in the parent/teacher manual and all of the materials in the kids activities book. If you didn’t get a workbook but want one be sure to come back to our website for volume 2 preorders to sign up for the ongoing subscription and have the workbooks mailed to your door each quarter without having to remember to purchase again.
Begin the lesson by reading the introductory page in the Book of Mormon. A fun way to keep everyone engaged is by doing popcorn reading. This means one member of the family reads a few sentences and then calls on another family member. Answer the questionnaire as you read.
Print the 18×24 scripture poster for your family and display it in your home all year, or print the smaller version for each family member. Each week write one verse from your reading in one of the shapes and at the end of the year you’ll have 50 favorite scriptures from the Book of Mormon. Or choose one scripture every month for 12 favorite scriptures at the end of the year.
You may notice that our summary sheets are formatted a little differently. But don’t worry, we still provide one main lesson and multiple bonus activities you can do throughout the week.
This week we provide two QR codes to watch videos about the Book of Mormon and being a witness of Christ.
Learn about being a seer. Get two rocks and write Urim on one and Thummim on the other. Teach about how these are similar to what Joseph Smith used to translate the Book of Mormon. Complete the Be A Seer page and Joseph Smith coloring page in your materials.
The Book of Mormon teaches about the Plan of Salvation. Print cut and laminate the Plan of Salvation puzzle and talk about each piece as you put the puzzle together. It will be one large stripe when it is completed.
Make sure to read your summary sheet for more details and more activity ideas.

Learning is a lifelong journey. While we tend to think of our years in school as the only time in life when we need to gain an education, we know through Doctrine and Covenants 88 that the Lord instructs His faithful to create places of learning in their own homes (D&C 88:119). How do we do that?
Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way we had planned: dinner gets burnt, the car won’t start, or you unexpectedly get laid off from your job. You’ve been promised blessings for keeping the commandments. It might be tempting to wonder where those blessings are when ill fortune strikes.
What is “godliness?” Doctrine and Covenants Section 84 uses the word to describe the way that God prepares us to return to live with Him one day. We do this by inviting our children to be baptized and prepare for the temple. Through participating in priesthood ordinances, we increase our access to the priesthood and experience “the power of godliness” as we come to see God’s presence in our lives every day (Doctrine and Covenants 84:20).
