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.

The story of David versus Goliath teaches many important principles, with one being that if we try our best and have real faith in God, He will help us make the most of our efforts. Though an army was present and he was offered the king’s armor, David brought his sling and his belief that the Lord would prevail through him. It was enough: “the Lord saveth not with sword and spear” (1 Samuel 17:47) but with trust and hope.
Have you ever been jealous of your neighbor? The Israelites sure were. They wanted a king to rule over them as other nations had, believing that life would be better and more secure. However, when Israel’s prophet prayed about having a king as a leader, the Lord responded that the people’s jealous desire was actually a rejection of Him as their true King: “they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them” (1 Samuel 8:7). Their need for what others’ possessed had decreased their faith in Him.
The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
