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.

“The Redeemer Shall Come to Zion”

Isaiah taught more about the principle of fasting than any other Old Testament prophet, teaching that giving something up for the Lord is more than just going without food and drink. Its purpose is much holier: “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free” (Isaiah 58:6). Fasting frees us from constraints on our spirit, allowing us to be more sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Ghost.

Some of Isaiah’s greatest teachings were his reminders that the Lord loves His people. Though they stumbled over their own mistakes constantly, the Lord never stopped repeating His love for them and His willingness to forgive them, for He is “thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people” (Isaiah 51:22).

There are stages in life that feel like they go on forever, especially in parenthood: sleepless nights helping kids stay in their own beds, potty training for weeks unending, and running to and from after-school activities. While the privilege of being a parent is a blessing, it can be exhausting just trying to keep up every day. Isaiah taught that when we feel like we have nothing left in us, we should rely on the Lord to give us strength (Isiah 40:29). After all, are we not caring for His children?
