Ideas for Teaching Children

Mormon 1:1–3; 2:1, 23–24; 3:1–3, 12, 17–22

Like Mormon, I can follow Jesus Christ.

Because Mormon was quite young when he developed his faith in Christ, he can be an inspiration to your children. Perhaps you could read Mormon 1:1–3 and your children could listen for how old Mormon was when Ammaron gave him a special mission. You could also help them find in these verses the qualities that Ammaron saw in Mormon. How do these qualities help us follow Jesus Christ?

For younger children read Mormon 1:1-3, and let them assemble the puzzle.

For older students, pass out the pieces and have them look up the scriptures, read and discuss, then let then assemble the puzzle.

Black and White

Because Mormon followed Jesus Christ, he was given opportunities to serve and bless others. You could invite your children to read one or more of the following passages and help them share what they learn about Mormon: Mormon 1:1–3; 2:1, 23–24; and 3:1–3, 12, 20–22 (see also “Chapter 49: Mormon and His Teachings,” Book of Mormon Stories, 138–42). How did he follow Jesus Christ? How did his faith in Jesus Christ help or bless others? How can our faith help people we know?

I'm getting some positive feedback on these coloring books. So I will keep them coming. Read the scriptures referenced in the coloring book and you covered almost the whole lesson(:

This is in my store.

Here is a video that shows you how to assemble the book.

Mormon 2:8–15

Godly sorrow leads me to Christ and to lasting change.

Perhaps you could make a chart like the one in “Ideas for Learning at Home and at Church” to help your children understand the difference between godly and worldly sorrow as they read Mormon 2:8, 10–15. Then they could also search Mormon 2:12 to find reasons why repentance should make our “heart[s] … rejoice.” How can we make sure that the sorrow we feel for our sins leads us to seek God’s help to change?

Mormon 3:3, 9

Heavenly Father gives me many blessings.

Inviting your children to list (or draw pictures of) some things they are grateful for might be a good way to help them feel gratitude for God. After they have made a list, you could read Mormon 3:3, 9 and explain that Heavenly Father had blessed the Nephites too, but they had not recognized it. What can we do to show we are thankful to Heavenly Father for our blessings?

Listen to this song while you pass a pumpkin or something small around the room. When the song ends, the child holding it, can tell the class what they are thankful for.

Mormon 3:12

Heavenly Father wants me to love everyone.

Even though the Nephites were wicked, Mormon never stopped loving them. Help your children find the words “loved” and “love” in Mormon 3:12. You could also sing a song together about loving others, such as “Jesus Said Love Everyone” (Children’s Songbook, 61), while showing pictures of children from around the world. Testify of God’s love for all His children.
