I can trust Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
In 2 Kings 18:3, 5–6, help your children discover what made Hezekiah a good king. Then, as you read together 2 Kings 19:14–19, they could discover how he showed that he trusted the Lord. You could look at a picture of Jesus and talk about why we can trust Him. How can we show that we trust the Lord?
How to play:
When a match is made, for example, the doctor. "We trust the doctor to help us keep our bodies healthy, and we trust our teachers to teach us the correct way to spell and do math." When you match Jesus, you can talk more about him, "What do we trust Jesus Christ with? We can trust Jesus because He loves us and will help us return to live with Heavenly Father forever.

Here are the instructions for this idea:
For a fun presentation, cut the puzzle into pieces, place them in a small bag, and attach the gift tag. You could even add a few pieces of wrapped candy—just choose candy that won't melt or bleed onto the puzzle pieces.

Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ can trust me.
In 2 Kings 22:1, help your children discover how old Josiah was when he became king. What do we learn about Josiah in verse 2? Consider an activity that could illustrate following the Lord and not turning “aside to the right hand or to the left.”
The workers described in 2 Kings 22:3–7 were trusted with the money to rebuild the temple “because they dealt faithfully” (verse 7). After reading these verses, you and your children could talk about things you have been trusted with. How can we be trustworthy like the workers in these verses?
For older students.
Write this on your board:
Have the students fill in the blanks with these pictures. Have them look up the scripture and read it to check their work.
The scriptures teach me to follow Jesus Christ.
To introduce the story of King Josiah in 2 Kings 22–23, you could hide a copy of the scriptures somewhere in the room. Invite your children to find it. Then you could share what happened when one of Josiah’s priests found the scriptures in the temple (see 2 Kings 22:8–11; see also “King Josiah” in Old Testament Stories, 148–49). What might happen to us if we didn’t have the scriptures? Share with each other why you are glad we have the scriptures today.
This story hunt was so fun to make (: I hope you enjoy it.
After reading 2 Kings 23:2–3, you and your children could talk about scriptures that have inspired you to “walk after the Lord” (verse 3). You could also sing a song about the scriptures, such as “Search, Ponder, and Pray” (Children’s Songbook, 109).
I will keep my covenants with God.
When Josiah and his people learned the commandments of God, they made a covenant to live them. Read about this with your children in 2 Kings 23:1–3, and help them find words or phrases that show how the people felt about the Lord’s commandments. Maybe your children could stand and talk about what it might mean to “[stand] to the covenant.” Then they could walk in place and talk about what it might mean to “walk after the Lord.” (Consider sharing the story at the beginning of Elder Edward B. Rowe’s message “Choose Jesus Christ as Your Guide” [Liahona, May 2026, 66] as part of this conversation.) Next, they could place their hands on their hearts and suggest ways we can keep our covenants “with all [our] heart.”
Put the circles on the ground and have the students look them up. Have them match the pictures to the circle, then do it again for the next scripture. What does it mean to make a covenant?

On the last paragraph of the treasure hunt is says at the end "and they are hiding.... give them a hints(:" and just ends. I'm guessing that we're supposed to hide some scriptures and then is that the end of the hunt? Thanks for your help and for all you do. I love all of your lesson helps!
love the easiness!! thanks
Thank you for all your lesson help. I notice that any time i try to put something in to the search bar it never yields any results. Is there a trick to getting the search to work? I wanted more lesson help on the value of scriptures.
