Step into the shoes of the prophet Jacob as he teaches the importance of genealogy and covenant keeping to his people, the Nephites. Jacob was a prophet who truly understood the role of families in God’s plan of happiness, and he did all he could to help the Nephites understand their individual role in bringing their families to Christ together.
This week’s lesson helps children learn their role in God’s plan for your family. With an emphasis on genealogy and growing our faith, these activities will inspire testimonies within your home.

The elementary bundle is a treasure trove for kids aged 4-11, featuring activities that instill key principles. Let’s explore three highlights:
Go & Do Activity
Before Nephi died, he passed the plates to his younger brother Jacob and gave him the responsibility to preserve the plates. Along with inviting others to come unto Christ, Jacob kept a genealogy of his people. Fill in your family tree printable from the lesson and tell stories of the people you draw on your tree.
Hands-On Activity
Begin by reading Jacob 4:6 together. Talk about what Jacob taught and how we can gain hope and unshakeable faith: searching the words of the prophets and gaining a testimony of them. Study the words of our current prophets and leaders with the “Power in the Prophet’s Words” mini book and a fun surprise reveal!
Coloring Activity
Read Jacob 2:17-19 and talk about how your family can help others. Choose a few ways to help others this week and make a plan to do that this week as you color the coloring page.

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams. The toddler bundle Includes a full lesson plan with THREE activities that align with scripture written by an early childhood educator. These include a coloring page, another printable activity, and a movement activity that helps young children understand the scriptures. Here are a couple of highlights from this week’s lesson.
Coloring Activity
Print, cut and staple the mini books before the lesson begins. Gather any family photos you have from around your house, family history books or albums and place them on the table. Teach your family about who is in the photos, books, etc. Next, read aloud Jacob 1:2-3. Afterwards, show your little ones that just like Jacob wrote down his life and family stories, we can, too! Then hand out the family history mini-book to each child and read it together. Let your children color as you put the book together. Reread it again during the week.

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
