Ideas for Teaching Children

I can follow Jesus Christ.

  • To teach your children the principles in these verses, you could prepare four paper footprints and four pictures that represent faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, and receiving the Holy Ghost (see the pictures in this week’s activity page). Your children could place the footprints on the floor with the pictures beside them. Then they could take turns walking on the footprints while you read Doctrine and Covenants 49:12–14. Help them understand that when we do the things in these pictures, we are following Jesus Christ.


For younger Students, lay the footprints down and read the scriptures as the students walk on them. Then, show them the (square) pictures and see if they can match the pictures to the scriptures. Then, walk on them again.

For Older Students.

Lay out the circles, read the scripture, and add the pictures that apply to it. Then, read the other scriptures and use the images that apply to those circles.

This week's coloring book:


Come follow me, religious, coloring and activity book for May 19-25

Here is a video that shows you how to assemble the coloring book:






Marriage between man and woman is essential to God’s plan.

  • To introduce these verses, you could explain that the Shakers were a religious group that believed people should not get married (see the section heading to Doctrine and Covenants 49). Invite your children to find things the Lord taught about marriage in Doctrine and Covenants 49:15–17. What does it mean that “marriage is ordained of God”? Maybe you could read together the first three paragraphs of “The Family: A Proclamation to the World.” Then talk about why marriage and family are important to Heavenly Father.



I feel like this subject is intended for those who are older. But this post offers great ideas; click on the image to access them. I also have activities in this week's coloring book that help teach this to younger children.




Here are some ideas for older students:

“That which is of God is light.”

  • To introduce Doctrine and Covenants 50:23–25, talk with your children about the difference between light and dark. Why do we need light? You could read together the first paragraph of “Walk in God’s light” in For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices (page 17) as well as Doctrine and Covenants 50:23–25. Talk about ways we receive God’s light and ways we can chase darkness away. You could then sing together a song about their spiritual light, such as “Shine On” (Children’s Songbook, 144).



When the children arrange the pictures correctly, the scripture will make sense. I like Mitzi's idea at comefollowmekid.com: Line them up (spread them out) and have the child hop to each piece of the scripture until you've said it a few times.

Help them think of good things they can do to make their spiritual light brighter.

Attach these pictures to glow sticks. Put them in a jar, let a child/ren pick one out, and discuss how it helps our spiritual light grow brighter. Please turn off the lights, then break the glow stick so it will glow. After all, glow sticks are glowing; bear your testimony about how keeping God’s commandments makes our light brighter. That light is the Savior's light, and it can grow brighter in you because you are trying to be like Him.

Sing with the children a song about their spiritual light, such as "Shine On."

Jesus Christ is my Good Shepherd.

  • After reading Doctrine and Covenants 50:40–46 together, you could show the picture of the Savior at the end of this outline and ask questions like these: How does a shepherd feel about His sheep? How is the Savior like a shepherd to us?


Write your students' names on the sheep, hide them around the room. When you are with the kids, invite them to go around the room to find them. Prep them so that they only find the sheep with their name. Have them bring their sheep up to the Shepherd. Read the scripture about the lost sheep.
