Ideas for Teaching Children
The Holy Ghost is a sacred gift.
The Holy Ghost or the Spirit is mentioned several times in Moroni 2–6. Maybe you could ask your children to find every verse that mentions Him, read these verses, and list what your children learn about the Holy Ghost. You could also share with each other experiences when you felt the Spirit’s influence.
Here is an interactive printable.
I take the sacrament to show that I will always remember Jesus Christ.
Reading the sacrament prayers with your children could lead to a discussion about how to have more meaningful experiences with the sacrament. It might help for them to imagine that a friend is coming to sacrament meeting for the first time. How would we explain to our friend what the sacrament is and why it is sacred? Encourage your children to use something from Moroni 4 or 5 in their explanations. Younger children could use this week’s activity page or Gospel Art Book, no. 108.
Consider singing a song together that helps your children think about the Savior (such as “Reverently, Quietly,” Children’s Songbook, 26). You could also practice sitting reverently during the sacrament.
This is an old book, but same idea.
I can prepare to be baptized.
Who can be baptized? Help your children find answers to this question in Moroni 6:1–3. What does it mean to have a “broken heart and a contrite spirit”? (Moroni 6:2). How does this help us prepare for baptism? Consider telling your children how you prepared to be baptized.
I used to sell this gift tag. But I had to discontinue it because of copy right laws. But lucky for you, I can give it to you for free. Hope you enjoy.

This is in my store if you would like a fun thing to go with it.
We go to church to take the sacrament and support each other.
Do your children know why you like going to church? Reading Moroni 6:4–6, 9 can give you an opportunity to discuss together some of the things we do at church. Maybe they could draw pictures of themselves doing these things (such as praying, teaching, singing, and taking the sacrament).
After reading Moroni 6:4 together, you and your children could look at pictures or examples of nourishing foods and compare nourishing our bodies to being “nourished by the good word of God.” You could also watch the video “Children Sharing the Gospel” (Gospel Library).
