In 2 Nephi 6-10, Jacob is reading the words of Isaiah. Study these chapters before hand to better understand the verses and to teach what the spirit prompts you to. We hear the word harken a lot in these verses. Explain that harken means listen and give some real life examples. You can also count how many times you hear harken as you read.
Complete the activity To be learned is to be good. Put the books in the backpack as you read the verses.
Next, read 2 Nephi 9:45 and do the shake off the chains activity. Consider doing the Hokey Pokey to shake off the chains, representing the natural man.
End the lesson singing The Wise Man and the Foolish Man. Build a tower of blocks that stand on a solid foundation and one that stands on sand (brown sugar also works really well). Pour water over the towers and watch them stand or fall.
One of the bonus ideas this week is to sing I Feel My Savior’s Love while doing the coloring page.
Another fun bonus activity is to create the hinges child craft. As you do this craft talk about lifting our heads and rejoicing in Christ.

This week’s lesson from Psalms (Psalms 49–51; 61–66; 69–72; 77–78; 85–86) centers on God’s endless mercy, forgiveness, and role as our safe refuge. The psalmists openly share their struggles, fears, and mistakes, showing us that faith isn’t about being perfect—it’s about knowing who to turn to when we need help.
In modern times, the Lord declared “the song of the heart is a prayer unto me” (Doctrine and Covenants 25:12). In ancient times, songs, or psalms, were used to praise the Lord and remember His covenants with His people. Many Psalms are attributed to King David, whose relationship with God is one of the most detailed in the entire Old Testament. It’s no wonder David is thought to be the author of so many songs that praise the Lord for His strength, His mercy, His patience with His children, and His eternal love for all mankind.
Job had many blessings in his life: a large family, a devoted spouse, and wealth that provided plenty and more for his household. Job gave thanks to God for his blessings, but even when nearly every blessing was taken away, he did not lessen his faith. Instead, as those around him said his faith had been a waste of time, Job showed his trust in the Lord by exercising Christlike patience and long suffering. Eventually, Job’s faith was rewarded, and his trust in God was justified.
