The Doctrine and Covenants teaches me about Jesus Christ.
Tell your children about how Joseph Smith’s revelations came to be printed in a book (see “Chapter 23: The Doctrine and Covenants,” in Doctrine and Covenants Stories, 90–92, or the corresponding video in Gospel Library). Help them remember some of the things you’ve learned about Jesus Christ from Doctrine and Covenants so far this year. You might also share with each other some of your favorite verses from Doctrine and Covenants.
You could also show your children the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price and talk with them about how they are different and how they are similar (see the descriptions of these books in Guide to the Scriptures). How can we know that the scriptures are true? What do we learn from Doctrine and Covenants 67:4, 9 about the revelations the Lord gave to Joseph Smith?
For Older Students:
You don’t need to print these pages if you have all the books available. You can just lay the books on the ground and sort under them in rows.
Put the stripes of paper from the other page in a bag or bowl, and have the children pull them out. If they aren’t sure which book they go under, have them read the opening page or Guide to the scriptures. You can also look at the grid I provided to see if you got it right.
For Younger Students:
If you want a bible and the Book of Mormon.
Here is a video that shows how to fold these mini books:
I can be baptized when I am eight years old.
In Doctrine and Covenants 68:27, the Lord specified how old a person must be to be baptized. Help your children discover what He said. Why does Jesus want us to be baptized? A song like “Baptism” (Children’s Songbook, 100–101) can help. Using pictures or verses 25–31 (or both), help your children discover things the Lord wants children to learn.
Read with your children about the assignment the Lord gave Oliver Cowdery in the section heading for Doctrine and Covenants 69. What counsel did the Lord give in verse 1? Why is it important to be with people “who will be true and faithful”? Maybe your children could tell about someone they know who is “true and faithful.” Sing together a song that encourages the children to be true and faithful like the Savior, such as “I’m Trying to Be like Jesus” (Children’s Songbook, 78–79). How can we make sure we are true and faithful to the Lord? How can He use us to bless others when we are true and faithful?
Here is an under sheet, it would be fun to attach velcro for those little hands.
Have the child/ren count the candles and put them on the cake. Sing “Happy Birthday” blow the candles off the and let the other child/ren count the eight candles and put them on the cake.
Sing with the children a song about baptism, such as “Baptism” or “When I Am Baptized” (Children’s Songbook, 100–101, 103). Ask the children to share how they feel about being baptized and what they can do to prepare.
