As you read Alma chapter 32:17-43 stop at verse 21 and use the Code Breaker.
Use the Faith Seed Sort activity to discuss some things we can do to make sure our testimony is nourished.
Have a wiggle break and sing the song Faith. Making up actions to the words is a good way for children to remember the words.
End the lesson by planting a seed in a cup.
As a bonus idea this week, read the Simplified Scripture Story of Zenos and Zenock. Discuss different places and times that you can pray. You could even play charades to act out some of the things you discuss. Make the Prayer Necklace Tags and let the children wear them throughout the week to remind them to pray.
Another bonus idea is to use the Scripture Story Guide as you read Alma 32:26-35. There is always a scripture guide for junior and senior age children.
We’ve included a fun object lesson to learn about the Atonement. Follow the instructions in your materials. Finish by coloring the Article of Faith coloring page.
Give each child a Prayer coloring page. As you read Alma 34:17-29 follow along with the thought bubbles. Each time you read about one color it in.
Consider making a faith dessert to enjoy. We have recipes available in our shop that include a Faith Pudding Cup. It comes with a cute tag to add meaning and connection from the scriptures. If you purchased a workbook the recipes have been added as a digital bonus in your account.

By the time the Israelites had their third king, the nation split into two groups: the 10 tribes in the north, forming the Kingdom of Israel, and the remaining two tribes in the south, forming the Kingdom of Judah. The Lord called a mighty prophet, Elijah, to remind His people of their true King: Jehovah (Jesus Christ). Elijah testified to the people that their idol worship was taking them farther away from God.
Going from tabernacle to temple was a big deal for the Israelites. So big, in fact, that even those building the temple had to be worthy of the task. David’s sin in his lust for Bathsheba disqualified him to build the Lord’s house, resulting in his son Solomon completing it. For building the temple with a pure heart, the Lord promised Solomon that so long as he kept the commandments, “I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people” (1 Kings 6:13).
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.
