Ideas for Teaching Children

I can learn of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament.

  • The words and culture of the Old Testament may be difficult for children to understand, but you can help them see Jesus Christ in symbols and stories. Perhaps you and your children could look at the image below, The Prophet Isaiah Foretells Christ’s Birth. Let your children point out details they see. Draw their attention, in particular, to the baby Jesus. Then you could read with them what Isaiah wrote about the Savior’s birth in Isaiah 7:14; 9:6. Share with your children how you feel about looking for the Savior in the Old Testament this year.




  • You and your children could also read Psalm 23 or Isaiah 53:3–9 and find words that remind you of Jesus Christ. What do these words teach us about His life and Atonement?






I'm teaching the 8-year-olds, and one of my New Year's goals was to get my students in the scriptures more.

So I have this option for older students.


Distribute the pieces with scriptures for students to look up. Then let them match them to the pictures on the page. The scriptures' shapes will go over the top of the pictures that they feel match.






You can print these on colored card stock if you don't want them to be just black and white.







Click on the images. If you have any problems with your order, message me on Etsy. I am happy to help.

















Heavenly Father wants to make covenants with me.

  • Covenants are a major theme in the Old Testament. To introduce this theme to your children, you could talk with them about promises they make and keep with family or friends and why keeping these promises is important. You could then look at a picture of a baptism and talk about the promise, or covenant, we make with God when we are baptized (see Mosiah 18:10, 13). You could also show a picture of the temple and share your feelings about the covenants we make there.




Small and simple promises, great things come to pass(:

You can write on the balloons the promises found in  Mosiah 18:10, 13


This week’s activity page could help your children be excited to make and keep covenants with Heavenly Father. You could also sing a song about making covenants, like “When I Am Baptized” (Children’s Songbook, 103).









Jesus Christ is Jehovah in the Old Testament.

  • Do your children know anyone who goes by different names in different settings? Perhaps a parent or teacher is addressed differently at work, at home, and at church. Talk about those names; then read Exodus 6:3 together and invite your children to find the names Jesus Christ was known by before He was born (see also the Joseph Smith Translation in footnote c).

Thank you so much! I'm loving the booklet idea for our brand new Sunbeams about Jesus' name also being known as Jehovah. I was wondering if you have a girl version for page 1 as well. Thank you so much for your wonderful resources. I have used them for years!
