Jesus Christ loves integrity.
To help your children remember what they learn from Doctrine and Covenants 124:15, 20, you could help them draw and cut out paper hearts. On the hearts, you could help them write key phrases from these verses. A song like “Stand for the Right” (Children’s Songbook, 159) could help reinforce the Lord’s words.
Read the scripture and then invite the students to complete these heart puzzles.
For younger students: Distribute the pieces and have students try to figure out how they fit to complete the picture.
For older students, you can use this to help them memorize the scripture by covering the words they already know.
I think it would be kind of neat to write your own thoughts about each child, similar to these scriptures. " My servant Lucy, you are kind and honest and true. God loves you." " My servant Gabe, I see you help your Mom in sacrament meeting, and be a good friend. Blessed are you."

I don't really understand the purpose of the paper hearts, but here is an interactive printable of the same song, with a picture of our new prophet.
After reading together Doctrine and Covenants 124:15, 20, perhaps you could help your children find out what it means to live with integrity on page 31 of For the Strength of Youth: A Guide to Making Choices. What did the Lord say specifically about George Miller in verse 20 “because of the integrity of [George’s] heart”? You could also share examples of children showing integrity from your own experience or from the Friend magazine. Invite your children to set a goal to show integrity this week and tell you how they feel when they do.
There is an integrity game in my store.
An integrity coloring page:
This is a video from the Friend magazine about integrity.
Cut and separate the cards.
In class, lay out the pictures on the floor or table, and keep the riddles in your hand. Read them one at a time. When the students find the picture being described, they can point to it, hand them the riddle, and they match it. Use this as an opportunity to teach what we can do in these situations to demonstrate integrity.
For very young students only layout 3 cards at a time to not overwhelm.

Jesus commands His people to build temples.
Your children might enjoy looking at pictures of temples, including an ancient temple and a temple close to where they live (see ChurchofJesusChrist.org/temples/list). You could use these pictures and Doctrine and Covenants 124:39 to explain that Jesus Christ has always commanded His people to build temples—in ancient times and in our day (see also this week’s activity page).
If you live close enough to a temple, consider taking your children there and reverently walking the temple grounds. Invite them to find the words “Holiness to the Lord—The House of the Lord” on the outside of the temple. Talk with your children about what these words mean.
Consider using the ideas in “Being Baptized and Confirmed for Ancestors” in appendix A to help your children look forward to the day when they can enter the temple (see also “The Temple and the Plan of Happiness” in appendix B).
This goes over the top of the temple picture, removed as each verse is read.
You can print on colored card stock
You can use a picture of your local temple or this one.
The Lord will bless me through a patriarchal blessing.
As you read together Doctrine and Covenants 124:91–92, help your children find what the Lord called Hyrum Smith to do. Talk about what a patriarchal blessing is: a special blessing in which the Lord teaches us about ourselves and what He wants us to do and become. Consider using the section “Receiving a Patriarchal Blessing” in appendix A to help your children prepare to receive a patriarchal blessing.
After reading the scriptures and explaining what a Patriarchal blessing is, you can ask your students these questions:
After they have made a couple of comparisons, read the scriptures (below) and ask them how those scriptures apply to our Patriarchal blessings.
If you would like further insight go to my youth lessons for this week.
Here is an activity from 4 years ago. It is for older students. I am leaving it here for families, or those leaders that would like it.
