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.

Though the writings of Isaiah can be intimidating to study, we are encouraged to dive in and embrace this special part of the Old Testament. Isaiah is unique in that the entire book is written by him, as opposed to the historical texts we read earlier this year. Think about it: the word of the Lord straight from the mouth of an ancient prophet in your own home.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a guidebook on how to be a better parent? On how to have less contention in the home? A word or two on having more patience and kindness? The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom given to David, Solomon, and others who sought the guidance of Heaven. Many verses, when read with prayer and real intent, can answer our prayers when we need heavenly guidance in raising our children, such as this one: “A soft answer turneth away wrath” (Proverbs 15:1).
As we continue through Psalms, we are taught that humility is required to recognize God’s personal affection for each of His children. Heavenly Father knows each of us better than we know ourselves—our thoughts, strengths, and struggles—and offers His scriptures as a light to guide us home through life’s darkness and challenges.
