One way I keep it streamlined is by sharing the main ideas for the week. My goal is to keep you focused on what you’ve been asked to teach. Knowing these key ideas will help with that. I also know each of you are initialed to your own inspiration. Sometimes just knowing the topics will bring thoughts and impressions to your mind that will help you teach in your homes and at church. So lets dive into what our main ideas are for this week!~

Question and Prompt Pages for Sunday School and Primary Teachers

Now that you know what you will be teaching lets dive in to my first and favorite tool I provide each week. I know how hard it can be to prepare a lesson so I wanted to come up with a simple method to help teachers. Consequently these question and prompt pages came to fruition. These are basically you Come Follow Me manual lesson broken down into simple bullet points. These bullet points are actual questions you can ask your class. These will lead you through each of the main ideas for each lesson. They also provide important scripture references to keep you using the scriptures to help answer the questions. While I created these for primary and Sunday school teachers please consider using them with your families. Pick one based on the ages of your kids and really dive in to topics this week!

LDS Temple Game for Family Activity

This week you get to talk about the house of the Lord with your families. Here are the instructions for a simple LDS Temple game where you can match the temple illustrations below!

Lds Temple Matching Game

• Begin by reading 2nd Nephi 12:1-3
• If you have been to the temple ” the Mountain of the Lords House” You might share with your family how the temple covenants are helping you “Walk in [The Lords] Paths. If you have not been to the temple, reading these verse together might inspire a discussion about how you can prepare for temple blessings.
• After your discussion play the temple matching game.
• How to play: Print out the temple cards x2 cut and laminate them if you can. Place them face down in rows on the floor and take turns making matches!

Primary Lesson Idea “We Rejoice in Christ” Come Follow Me Lesson

The lesson idea I wanted to focus on this week for primary was the Millennium. We learn in our scripture study that in the Millennium that animals who are natural enemies today will get along with each other. Here are the instructions to use these cute animal masks as you teach.

• Take out the animal masks and let your class wear or hold them as you read
• Read 2nd Nephi 21:6-7
• Ask the children to name the animals, explain that these animals are usually enemies, but Isaiah taught that after Jesus Christ comes again, there will be a time of peace, called the Millennium when animals will not hurt each other. How can we follow the example of these animals in the way we treat each other? Invite the children to draw pictures of these animals living peacefully together.

Sunday School Lesson Helps for ” We Rejoice in Christ”

Each week for Sunday school I create a simple work-age to help you dive into one important topic a little deeper with your class. This week I choose:

Our homes and “assemblies” of Zion can be places of safety and refuge.

I loved this topic and wanted to highlight it with this work-age for your class. It will help you lead a meaningful discussion and help the understand their role in keep ing their homes a place of safety and refuge.
