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.

Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, but he found that once they were in the wilderness, it wasn’t so easy to take Egypt out of the Israelites. Even with the many miracles and signs the people had witnessed, they still wanted to return to a life of slavery with every hardship they encountered. If the Israelites were to be the Lord’s chosen people, this could not be.
How did Moses prepare the Israelites to make covenants with the Lord? We read in Exodus 25 that God gave commandments to His people to help them be ready for greater covenant blessings when He would “dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). Even though the Israelites struggled to keep these commandments, they were eventually blessed as they remained true to the Lord. We will also receive all promised blessings as we live our lives in faithfulness.
Following the 10 Plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, you would think that the Israelites were in a powerful place spiritually. They had seen incredible miracles and had sure witnesses that the Lord was with them. Yet, upon facing a shortage of food and water, the people were willing to abandon everything God had done for them and return to slavery: “Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt… when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness” (Exodus 16:3).
