Ideas for Teaching Children
Each of us is of great worth to God.
As you and your children read Doctrine and Covenants 18:10–13, consider substituting each other’s names in place of the words “soul,” “souls,” and “all men.” You could then talk about how these verses help us understand how Heavenly Father feels about each of us.
Write or have the child write their name in the blank.
You could also ask your children about things that people consider valuable. Or you might show them something that is valuable to you. How do we treat things that are valuable to us? Then let them take turns looking in a mirror. As they do, tell each child that they are a child of God and they are of great worth. How can we show others that “the worth of [their] souls is great” in our sight?
Attach the arrow to the scale with a brad. Tell the children that we put things on a scale to see how much they weigh and determine how much they are worth. This scale just tells us how much they are worth. Ask them to put something on the scale, for example the rubies and diamonds, may be worth a lot to the world, (while adjusting the arrow), but to Heavenly Father the worth is very small. Do this with each item. Then put the picture of the children on the scale and ask them how much he or she is worth to Heavenly Father. Read D&C 18:10&11, bear your testimony that Jesus suffered for us so we can return to him, and loves us very much.
To emphasize that all people are of great worth to Heavenly Father, your children could look at the picture at the end of this outline while you read Doctrine and Covenants 18:10–13. Singing together a song like “Every Star Is Different” (Children’s Songbook, 142–43) could help reinforce this point.
I suggest just click on the pictures to make it bigger on a tablet and show the children.
This is from 4 years ago, still a really good idea.
Teach the Doctrine:
Older children
Ask each child to write his or her name on a piece of paper and pass the papers around the room. Invite them to write on each paper they receive something they like about that person. Encourage them to be kind and thoughtful in their comments. Then help the children read D&C 18:10-12, and invite them to share what they learn about how God feels about us. Explain that we are all of great worth to God because we are His children.
Here is a video that shows how to assemble the coloring book:
Not the same book, but you will get the idea.
Sharing the gospel brings great joy.
To inspire your children to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, you could talk with each other about experiences when you found something that you wanted to share with your friends or family. Why did you want to share it, and how did sharing it make you feel? Then you could read Doctrine and Covenants 18:13, 16. What brings the Lord joy? What does He say will bring us joy? You and your children could talk about any experiences you’ve had sharing the joy of the Savior’s gospel.
A song about sharing the gospel, such as “I Want to Be a Missionary Now” (Children’s Songbook, 168), can help your children think of ways they can share the gospel.

I can hear the Lord’s voice in the scriptures.
Your children might enjoy a game where they try to identify voices of different people, such as family members, friends, or Church leaders. How do we recognize each other’s voices? How do we recognize the Lord’s voice? You could read together Doctrine and Covenants 18:34–36 to discuss this question. You could also share with each other how you have heard the Lord’s voice in the scriptures.
