Ideas for Learning at Home and at Church

Having faith in God helps me overcome fear.

If it weren’t for their faith, Helaman’s young soldiers would have had good reason to feel afraid. But because of their faith, they had even more reason to be courageous. As you read about them in Alma 53–58, look for things that help you face your fears with faith in Christ. Consider focusing on the following verses: Alma 53:10–22; 56:43–49, 55–56; 57:20–27; and 58:39–40. This table could help you record what you find.


LOVE IT! Very interactive. Your board could be set up like this:






There are a lot of scriptures to read, and if your youth are anything like mine, they won't like that. But you can soften their hearts with this idea of a game. You should read Alma 53:10-17 or summarize these verses so the students know what is going on.

Then pass out these cards (mixed up) and have them read each to the class and put it in the right section.

I received some very good feed back that some youth struggle with dyslexia, or learning disabilities and really struggle looking up scriptures. I have two options, one where the scriptures are written out and all they have to do is read the words and sort them:




If you have more than 9 students, you can slice some in half..in the spaces.

I recommend printing on card stock.

This is in my store.



I also really love having my youth in the scriptures. So I have this option of these cards too:


You may need to alter these if you have more than 9 students

Or if you are strategic, you can mix them together, just make sure there are no duplicates.

I'm not sure what your students will say or do, but here are some ideas what it will look like.

This is available in the lesson bundle, but some like to purchase the gift tag separately.










To win our spiritual battles, we also need the power of Jesus Christ. How can you access His power? Look for answers in President Russell M. Nelson’s message “Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into Our Lives” (Ensign or Liahona, May 2017, 39–42). You might compare his counsel with things that Helaman’s soldiers did.

After studying these things, think about your own spiritual battles. Write down what you feel inspired to do to exercise your faith in Jesus Christ.


There is a QR code that the youth can scan. Kind of a fun thing I have learned with my class, if everyone scans it and you all push play at the same time, you can have a surround sound effect(: But only if the church internet is being nice.

I really liked this, I'm a sucker for a good object lesson(: Here are some free printable's to go with it, since you probably won't be boiling anything during your church lesson. Good thing the youth know what happens when you add an egg and potato to boiling water.


If I am humble, life’s challenges can turn my heart to God.

Put a raw egg and a potato in boiling water to help you think about how you can choose to be either “softened” or “hardened” by your trials. While your egg and potato are cooking, study Alma 62:39–51, and notice how the people reacted to Helaman’s ministry after their long war with the Lamanites. You could then compare this to how they had reacted to his preaching 13 years earlier (see Alma 45:20–24). How were the Nephites affected differently by the same afflictions? When the egg and potato are fully cooked, crack the egg and cut the potato. How did the boiling water affect them differently? What are you learning about how we can choose to react to affliction? How can you turn to God during your afflictions?


You can record together, and decide if they decided to be eggs or potatoes(:
