  1. Start the lesson by spelling the word KIND with your bodies. Then read James 3:1-13 and hand out the coloring page. Practice being kind as you share crayons to color the picture. As the kids color give examples of kindness that you’ve seen in your home.
  2. Read James 1:5 and and share the story of Joseph Smith’s First Vision. Bear your testimony of God the Father and Jesus Christ. Let your child build the prayer bear. Use the bear to remind them to pray like Joseph Smith did. Then watch this video of the first vision.
  3. In James 5:7-11 we learn about the importance of patience. Do the marshmallow test with your kids. You can watch this video about the marshmallow test from Pres. Uchtdorf but don’t let your kids see. After the experiment talk about their experience. Discuss why you need patience and how it can help them in their lives.
