Because of Jesus Christ, I can repent and be clean.
In Isaiah 1:2–4, you and your children could find reasons that the Lord was not happy with the people. Note the comparison with animals in verse 3—who is our “master”? How do we show that we know Him?
This story floor puzzle talks about the animals in verse 3 and more. It's below in my store.
To visualize Isaiah 1:16–18, you and your children could look at something bright red and something pure white. Or maybe you could work together to wash something. How do we become unclean spiritually? How does Jesus help us become clean? What do we learn about the Savior from these verses? Share with your children how you feel about Him and what He has done for you.

In the temple, I learn about Jesus Christ.
Isaiah foresaw a time when “the mountain of the Lord’s house” would attract people from “all nations” (Isaiah 2:2). How can you help your children feel excited about going to the Lord’s house? You could invite them to draw a picture of their home. Then read together Isaiah 2:2, and invite them to draw a picture of “the Lord’s house,” which is a temple. Read Isaiah 2:3 together. Invite them to add to their pictures many people coming to the temple, including their families.
You could also read Isaiah 2:2–3 together and identify something that inspires you and your children to go to the temple. Then, after reading Isaiah 2:4 together, you could discuss how the temple brings them peace. Consider singing a song about the temple, such as “I Love to See the Temple” (Children’s Songbook, 95). Help your children find words in the song that teach what the temple is and what we do there.
You could print this on cardstock and use it as a lace card. Or cover it with packaging tape or laminate and use it as a dry-erase surface.
I just thought this would be a fun way to teach this scripture, with a little bit of movement(:

You can draw each of your students, or let them draw themselves walking.
Jesus Christ came to earth to be my Savior.
To introduce Isaiah’s prophecies of Christ, you and your children could talk about titles of people, like president, bishop, or teacher. What do these titles tell us about these people? Help your children find titles of Jesus Christ in Isaiah 7:14 and 9:6–7 (see also this week’s activity page). What do each of these titles teach about Him? What else do we learn about Jesus Christ from these verses?
You could also share with your children “Isaiah the Prophet” (in Old Testament Stories, 150–51). Pause periodically to ask what Isaiah knew about Jesus Christ many years before He was born. You can then use Matthew 1:21–23; Luke 1:31–33 to talk about how Isaiah’s prophecies in Isaiah 7:14; 9:6–7 were fulfilled.
Read the scripture and have them cover it with their piece when they hear their part mentioned. When completed ask them what names they use to describe the Savior.
