The scriptures teach of Jesus Christ
Perhaps you could write some of the statements about the Savior found in Doctrine and Covenants 60–62 on small pieces of paper. Your children could then match these statements to pictures of Jesus from His earthly ministry (see Gospel Art Book, nos. 34–61) that demonstrate these attributes. How does He make Himself known to us today?
For older Students:
Hand out the pieces of the puzzle to the different children or groups of children. Have them look up the scriptures and write what they find on the piece of the puzzle. Have them tell you what they found as they place the pieces around Jesus Christ.
From 4 years ago:
Show a few pictures of Jesus from His earthly ministry...Let the children help you explain what Jesus is doing in the pictures. How is He showing His love for Heavenly Father's children?
Hand out the black-and-white pictures to the children. Laying the pieces on the ground, tell the story (one at a time of how Jesus loves and wept with the people, or how he included the man in the tree). Then (one at a time) ask the children how we can include or love, and ask who has the match as you move along with the pictures and stories.
There are more footprints; if you would like to print them, you can click on the image to be taken to the page.
The primary manual suggests doing something like this:
Matching up the pictures of Jesus' Ministry to the verses in D&C 60-62. It is a little tricky. I'm not even sure if I got it right :) However, if you have a group of older students, this might be a fun activity. Put your scriptures on cards; they might be different from mine, so I didn't create them for you. Have the students match them to the picture. You don't have to use all these pictures; these are just the ones the primary manual suggests.
No coloring book this week.
Father's Day gift tags and card:
The Lord will forgive me if I repent.
As you read Doctrine and Covenants 60:7; 61:2 with your children, help them find words that these verses have in common. Remind them that these revelations were given to Joseph Smith and other Church leaders. What did the Lord want them to know? You could also talk about how the Savior feels about us when we make mistakes and what it means to repent. According to Doctrine and Covenants 62:1, how can Jesus help when we are tempted?
You can create some scenarios of children making mistakes and and repenting, you can even get the children's help creating these stories. When they repent the children can cover them with a bandaid. How does the Savior feel about us when we make mistakes? Then read the scriptures.
You can use real Band-Aids for this if you'd like.
For older students
I love Sister Runia's talk. I would do the simple object lesson she does with her hands (and our worth) as you talk about these scriptures.
D&C 62:3
Jesus Christ wants me to share His gospel.
Jesus Christ wants me to share His gospel.
You might ask your children what they would say if someone asked them what they love about Jesus Christ and His Church. Singing together a song about sharing the gospel, such as “I Want to Be a Missionary Now” (Children’s Songbook, 168), could give them ideas. You could then read Doctrine and Covenants 62:3 and ask your children to listen for what happens when we share our testimonies. How can the promise in verse 9 help if we feel nervous?
You put all the pictures in the boys mouth and let the children draw them out and tell you what they know about it, or bear their testimony about it. Explain that Jesus wants us to share these testimonies or truths with others.

If you don't want to use all your black print ink, you can print these White Missionary Tags.
Sing together a song about sharing the gospel such as "I want to be a Missionary Now." (CSB 168)

Place all the rain drops on the board or on the ground. Read D&C 60:7; 62:3.9 All the rain drops that are what the scriptures say, or true, put in the umbrella, the other ones are just to be tricky. Then go through and review the “true” rain drops and talk about how neat those blessings are. Be sure to tell them they can bear their testimonies, not just as a missionary later, but as a missionary now.
