Ideas for Teaching Children
I can be faithful to God like Helaman’s young soldiers.
You can use many resources to share the story of Helaman’s soldiers, including the pictures in this outline and “Chapter 34: Helaman and the 2,000 Young Warriors” (Book of Mormon Stories, 93–94). This week’s activity pagecan help your children think of ways they can be like the army of Helaman. Consider sharing some of the qualities of the young soldiers from Alma 53:20–21 to get them started.
So many years in scouts paid off in this one activity(: They can learn about the qualities of the young soldiers while they make their Lamanite necklaces.
I did this 4 years ago, if I was to do it now, I would use beads instead of Fruit loops. They sell beads at Dollar Tree.
For older students:
You can write these on the board and study the scriptures together, especially if you have students that struggle.
You could also sing together “We’ll Bring the World His Truth” (Children’s Songbook, 172–73).
Here is an interactive song:

And here is a video:
For the Senior Primary portion of this lesson I made a game board to teach the lesson about the Stripling Warriors. This would be great for families too.
Here are the warriors weapon and armor.
Beautiful music video, they show the Stripling Warriors:
These are the very small snack size bags.
I can be faithful to what my parents teach in righteousness.
Helaman’s young soldiers looked to their mothers’ faith when they were faced with a great challenge. Perhaps you could read Alma 56:46–48 with your children and invite them to listen for what the mothers of these young men taught them about faith. You might ask them what they’ve learned from their parents—or other faithful adults—about the Savior. Why is it important to obey “with exactness”? (Alma 57:21).
These are in my store this week, for older and younger students:
Available in B&W, I recommend printing on card stock.

How can you—like the mothers of the stripling soldiers—make sure your children know of your faith in God? One way is to share how your faith affects your life. For example, how has He “delivered” you when you “did not doubt”?
I can keep my covenants with Heavenly Father.
Your children might be able to talk about a time when someone made and kept a promise with them. How did they feel when the promise was kept? You could read Alma 53:10–18 and invite your children to look for how Helaman, the people of Ammon, and the sons of the people of Ammon made and kept their promises, or covenants. You might share how Heavenly Father blesses you as you keep your covenants.
I can choose to not be angry.
Consider inviting your children to think about a time when they were accused of doing something they didn’t do. Tell them about how this happened to Pahoran (see Alma 60–61; see also “Chapter 35: Captain Moroni and Pahoran,” Book of Mormon Stories, 95–97). To learn about how Pahoran reacted, take turns reading verses from Alma 61:3–14. What did Pahoran do when Moroni accused him? (see Alma 61:2–3, 8–9). What do we learn about forgiveness from the Savior’s example? (see Luke 23:34).
4 years ago the manual focussed on Helaman's feelings, but you can use this face and turn him into Moroni or Pahoran, or anyone you would like in these stories.
