Come Follow Me- For Primary page 145 "Show a picture of Jesus Christ appearing in the Americas.."
Here is a recycled flip picture from Easter, it can show how he appeared to his apostles on the other side of the world and to people in America.
Tell the children about the storms and darkness described in 3 Nephi 8, being careful not to scare or upset them. You could use "Chapter 42: The signs of Christ's Crucifixion"
Invite them to close their eyes and imagine how they would feel if they got to see Jesus. Or show the first minute of the video "My Joy Is Full."
Beautiful clip, great way to bring the spirit.
3 Nephi 10:4-6
Jesus protects His people as a hen protects her chicks.
This is an idea from Mitzi at Comefollowmekid.com , she will have more instructions on her website.
Come follow me- For Families “3 Nephi 10:1-6. The imagery of a hen gathering her chicks can be very powerful teaching tool to help children understand the Savior’s character and mission. You could read these verses while your family looks at a picture of a hen and chicks. Why does the Savior want to gather us close to Him? What might happen if a chick chose not to gather when called?”
Assemble the Hen, write on the baby chicks family members names, have them hide their baby chick under the wing as you study 3 Nephi 10:4-6 together.
Print in Black and white so they can color their own baby chick.
3 Nephi 11:21-26
Jesus Christ wants me to be baptized.
Read together 3 Nephi 8:5-7, 11-23 and 10:9-13 (if possible, darken the room as you read). Pause the reading occasionally and ask the children how it might have felt to experience these events. Read with the children some of the words Jesus Christ spoke to the people while they were in darkness (see Nephi 9:13-14,18).
You can hide these light bulbs around the room and when they are found can be put in the correct order. With smaller children it would be fun to attach glow sticks and then hide them in a darker room.
I wanted to give my sunbeams a gift this week. I was thinking something like this, with a large glow stick.
Come Follow Me- For Primary page 146 “Show Children a map of the of the world, and help them find Jerusalem and the Americas. Explain that the destruction described in 3 Nephi 8 was a sign to the people in the Americas that Jesus Christ had been crucified in Jerusalem. Read together 3 Nephi 11:1-15, and ask the children to tell you when they find something in verse that helps them feel God's love. Share verse 37, and testify that the Savior loves all children."
I was trying to figure out how to incorporate this song into this lesson and I read that passage in the manual and it all came together. Now you can teach a lot with a song.
It is a very simple, neat week, hope this helps bring that special spirit into your homes.
