Ether 12:6-22
Faith is believing in things we cannot see.
Come Follow Me- for Primary page 181"Tell the children about things you believe in even though you cannot see them, help the children think of additional examples.
BTW I purposely left off Jesus and Heavenly Father so they can think of that(;
Also Mitzi at comefollowmekid.com has a cute idea of blind folding a child and having them feel an object and guessing what it is, then sharing this scripture.

Come follow Me- For Primary page 181 "Play a guessing game with the children. Give them clues about the faithful people described in Ether 12:13-15, 19-20 until the children can guess who they are."
You lay the cards face down, so no one can see the picture, then whoever turn it is draws the card and puts it on their head so they still can't see it. If they are older they have to ask yes or no questions, for example, "Is this person a missionary?" "Are there two of them?" If they are younger, give them hints, until they think they know who it is.
Come Follow Me- For Primary page 182 “Read Ether 12:27 to the children. What did the Lord promise those who feel weak? Share an experience in which the Savior helped you or someone you know do something that is hard. Testify that if they seek His help, Jesus can help them be strong, even when they feel weak.”
Here is a fun way to teach this scripture, I love how it turned out. You can read it and have the kids fill in the blanks with the help of the pictures.
Ether 12:4, 32
Hope is like an anchor to my soul.
I love the visual I have in my head of a stormy sea, but you are unmovable because of your strong anchor of faith.
Here is a way to explain this scripture to children to help them understand it better.
Here are some book marks, I made with this scripture.
Here is a big one if you want to send it out as a coloring page or put it on your fridge.

Faith is believing in things we cannot see.
This is a power, and easy scripture to memorize. Here are some cards that you can mix up to to help memorize this scripture.
Come Follow Me-For Primary page 182 “Show one of the children a picture without letting the other children see, and ask the child to describe the picture to the rest of the class. As time allows, let other children take turns doing the same with different pictures. Then invite them to read Ether 12:6 and find the phrase: ”Faith is things hoped for and not seen.” How do we show faith in Jesus Christ when we cannot see Him?”
There are two ways to use these cards. You can lay them all face down and play a matching game or...you can put them in a paper bag, have one person draw a picture out and describe it to a group. They can guess what the picture is.
I am feeling sooo much better! Funny thing about being sick, you always appreciate your health so much more(: Have a fantastic week!
