I am a child of God.
After you read together God’s message to Moses in Moses 1:4, consider letting your children look at their reflection in a mirror and giving themselves a similar message: “I am a child of God.” Then they could give the same message to each other: “You are a child of God.” You might even find pictures of a variety of people and invite your children to point to each one and say, “This is a child of God.” Share with each other why you are glad to know you are children of God. How does this knowledge change the way you treat yourselves and others?
You are still getting to know your students, so I thought this would be fun.

Print two and play a matching game. When a match is made, ask, "Is this a Child of God?"
And vice versa, how does it make you feel to hear Heavenly Father speak? What does he promise us?
This is a beautiful song written by Angie Killian. I love her work.

Heavenly Father has a work for me to do.
As you read Moses 1:6 with your children, you might talk to them about the “work” God had for Moses. Consider using the Gospel Art Book, nos. 13–16, or Old Testament Stories, pages 64–84, to help your children see what Moses accomplished with Heavenly Father’s help. What is the work God has for us to do? (see, for example, Doctrine and Covenants 11:20).
Then read Moses 1:6
What work did God have for Moses? If you could make a timeline of your life, would it be similar? (Your baby's blessing, baptism, and serving others?) What work does God have for you?
Don't forget Doctrine and Covenants 11:20).
I can resist Satan’s temptations.
As you study Moses 1:12–26 with your children, help them discover what Moses did to resist Satan (see verses 13, 15, 18, 20–22, 26). It might be fun for them to act out things they can do to resist temptation (such as praying, walking away, or asking for help).

I lived as a spirit before I was born on earth.
Knowing about our premortal life can inspire your children to make choices based on eternal truths. To help them learn about it, you could give them some key words and phrases to find in Abraham 3:22–28, like “before the world was,” “spirits,” “make an earth,” and “prove.” What do these verses teach us about why Heavenly Father sent us to earth?
A song like “I Will Follow God’s Plan” (Children’s Songbook, 164–65) could reinforce what Abraham 3 teaches. Maybe you could invite your children to draw pictures that go with the words.
Help your children think of situations in which they have to choose whether or not to do what God has asked them to (see Abraham 3:25; see also For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices). Let them practice possible responses to these situations. How can the Savior help us when we make a wrong choice?

Sing with the children a song about God’s plan for us (such as “I Will Follow God’s Plan” [Children’s Songbook, 164–65]). Help them understand eternal truths taught in the lyrics.
