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.

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
