Teaching words from the bible can be challenging with kids. It can push you to your limits and make you as the parent want to just give up. This week as you study from the book of Acts we hope the activity book for kids shown below as well as the other materials help you feel success and joy in place of frustration and defeat. After all, our lessons are specifically made by an experienced teacher for children who are primary age. If you want exclusive access to all the materials you see just grab a membership.
Here are some sneak peak of pages inside. Each page tells a new story from the book of Acts in the bible. Children who can write just add a simple sentence to the box. If children are not writers yet they can draw a picture in the box on their page.
This week you get to discuss what it means to be a witness. This would be a good time to discuss some of the changes that have happened lately in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This shows us that prophets and apostles still receive revelation from the Lord. So this week in the lesson there are dry erase mats with the prophet and apostles names on them so your children can trace over the names and learn about these special men. Simply slide them into sheet protectors or laminate them so they can last. I think I will be putting these in my church page for Sunday.
We are the bomb.com and even included a fun apostle getting to know you matching game as well. This was used earlier in the year but was so memorable we wanted to add it to your materials this week. We hope you use this game and love it! Click the blue button at the bottom of this post to see this game for yourself. I do suggest printing on card stock so the cards are not see through.
My children, especially my littlest, loves the coloring page every time! The apostle color page for this week was hand drawn by our artist and I think it’s pretty perfect!
Another perfect fit for this week are some cute article of faith cards that make a perfect hand out for your primary class or a study card for your own children at home. You will see them in your materials when you grab a membership.
Use the songs list included on the summary sheet. My family sang We’ll Bring The World His Truth together and marched around the room together as we sang. Classic!
Every week we provide you with the main lesson and materials plus six supportive ideas you can use to enhance your lesson or through out the week as mini lessons. For us this works perfectly to keep the learning going all week long. Some of the pages we even complete during quiet time on the long summer days. These activities below help teach that the gospel of Jesus Christ can’t be bought with money.
Don’t forget that we have loads of extra supports and goodies in our shop on the website! There are many resources to help make life easier for you as the parent striving for a Christ centered home.
Do not forget that our Good Better Best Challenge is going on right now, June 24-26th. You can read more about it and watch a beautiful video about the movement as well, then join us. It is free to join and will give you the kick in the pants you need this summer to focus on what really matters most.
These hand lettered prints are available so you can really apply what is learned during the challenge. To those who have a membership these pages are included in your account! For just one dollar you can grab them in our shop if you don’t have a subscription.
We know you will also love these eight beautiful quotes take right from the Good, Better, Best talk by Elder Oaks. Each one is unique and perfect for your home! Again you can purchase these in our shop as a bundle with the above pages or on their own. I chose to hang my prints with these perfect wooden magnet hangers.
Can you believe it is July? Where does the time go? You know what that means, time to switch your monthly focus print!
If you haven’t grabbed these prints that align with the manual and add Christ centered words to your home they are in our shop.

Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
Abraham and Sarah had a lot to worry about. From infertility and famine to war and the safety of their family, it could have been easy to forget their covenants while focusing on their daily concerns. Yet they showed faith by putting the Lord first each day. As a result of keeping their covenants, they knew the Lord would help them throughout their lives. As Abraham told his son, Isaac, “God will provide” (Genesis 22:8). We should follow Abraham’s example of faith and always put the Lord first.
Abraham lived a life of violence and peace, of trauma and healing, and of promises and faith. Through every trial, Abraham trusted in the Lord and chose to follow Him even when his world was at its darkest. He was rewarded with a covenant that encompasses all of God’s children and will last into the eternities. This covenant and its blessings are extended to our families today.
