Lesson 13



This weeks lesson is on Baptism and Taking the Name of Christ Upon Us. For this lesson I decided to make this into a game based on the topic of baptism. I found the idea HERE and just adapted it for my class.

HERE is the questions for the game

Here is a sample of a few of the questions (there is five categories)

Category 1: Baptism

100: If you are 12 and a worthy member of the church you can perform these at the temple          

 (Baptisms for the dead)

200: These two principles of the gospel precede the ordinance of baptism

  (Faith and Repentance, 4th A of F)

300: Baptism by immersion is symbolic of this, as described in the BD on pg. 618

    (death, burial and resurrection)

400: These are the three baptismal covenants we make to Heavenly Father as given in

 the sacrament prayers

 (D&C 20:77- take His name upon us, always remember Him, and keep His commandments)

 I will also be handing out a little handout that has lifesavers in a small bag with the image below stapled on it for a bag topper.

HERE is the link to the PDF for this treat bag topper (the above image)

I don't have the finished product up yet because I haven't put them all together but I hope to get a picture of it when I do!

Lesson #11



Wow after looking at this blog I have realized that I have been slacking a little. Actually it is more of fighting an illness and then having more issues with my laptop. So I will post those missing lessons hopefully soon!

Moving on to this weeks lesson...Faith in Jesus Christ. Since General Conference is next week, it makes this Sunday our fast Sunday (is it the same for you too??) so I can't do much in way of food object lessons (which I have found some online that were kinda cool). So this is my idea on how I am going to go about teaching this lesson.

Ask the class to repeat the 4th Article of Faith

Then I am going to have them divide into two teams. I am going to ask for two volunteers from each team to come up. One person is going to be given a picture while the other person is going to be the runner between the person holding the picture and their group.

The person holding the picture is going to give instructions to the "runner" on how to build whatever it is on the picture. They first group to build the object correctly wins. The group can ask questions but they can only ask questions to the runner who will then relay (think of the childhood game telephone) the info back to the person holding the pic.

The object lesson here is that the group has to put their faith into their two team members that they are giving them the right information.

What is faith?

Look up the scripture in Alma 32:21 and discuss 

 Why it is important that we have faith?

Why is it important that we have faith in Jesus Christ?

How can your faith in Jesus Christ help you with your daily problems and difficulties?

As promised...

HERE is the lesson outline for lesson 4 The Atonement of Jesus Christ. This lesson outline follows the manuals suggestive teaching layout so it is pretty lengthy. However, as always, it is made to be customized to your particular situation or time restraints. This is also the lesson outline that I will be following. 

It is my intention to make sure that I leave enough time to make sure that the film clip of the Mediator is shown in its entirety as it is a lil over 10 minutes long and since it is in parable form I want to be able to discuss the meaning of it. So please, please make sure you make time for that. I think it is a great story and will help the kids understand the atonement and Jesus' role in it a little bit better. 

"The Mediator" Lesson 4

I thought I would share this with you as it was a suggestion for lesson 4 on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I don't own the video and I wasn't exactly thrilled to go by it and I don't know about you, but our library kinda gets a little crazy right after sacrament meeting. So I searched on LDS.org and found that I could download the video! I was like "YAY" so this is why I am sharing. Click HERE to be taken to the church's website to share or to download.

Lesson 4: The Atonement of Jesus Christ

I know this is jumping ahead but I had already created this handout for the YW Man. lesson 2 when I was still in the YWs presidency but I saw that it would make a great handout for this lesson too. I made one small change with this one though, I took off all the girly flowers.
