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.
You can illustrate this principle by following the activities in this week’s lesson! Set up a water table with a small plastic container filled with water. Add different items that can pour and collect the water, such as spoons or cups. Explain that Jesus pours out His Spirit, which fills us with light and truth. His Spirit can lead and guide us each day.

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!
