Navigating Life’s Wilderness: DIY Compass Adventure

Hands-On Activity

Begin by reading 1 Nephi 16:10-16, 23-31, and 18:11-22. Talk about how the Liahona was dependent on the righteousness of Lehi’s family. Teach your children about how a modern compass works and then have fun making your own to play with.
