Ideas for Teaching Children
I can search the scriptures diligently.
The Savior’s instructions in 3 Nephi 23 show how important the scriptures are to Him. To help your children discover this, you could read 3 Nephi 23:1, 5 aloud and ask them to listen for a word that is repeated three times. How is searching different from just reading?
For a class that needs more movement, you can play 4 corners, or 4 walls. You just put theses pictures on the walls (or corners) and practice saying the words and see how good the students are at finding the wall with the word on it and stand under or next to it. Then read the scriptures 3 Nephi 23:1, 5 and see if the students can still do it. Then ask them "which word did the scriptures said the most?" How is searching different from just reading?
After you could sing this song together.
Perhaps you and your children could write down a favorite scripture verse and hide it. Then you could take turns finding each other’s hidden scriptures, read them together, and talk about why these verses are meaningful.
If you did the treasure hunt from last week. Maybe they would like to make their own treasure hunt with their favorite scriptures. They can work together, with your help, then invite a member of the primary Presidency to come see if they can figure out their scripture treasure hunt.
Suggestion: If they really struggle with knowing a scripture, I would encourage them to think of their favorite primary song and tie that to a scripture, with the help of the gospel library. Work with the student to see if that feels good to them.

If you would like to send them home with some with a scripture scavenger hunt they can do with their families...to get more familiar with the Book of Mormon.
This weeks gift tag:
Those are Rolo's but you can use mints or other small circle candy. Also available in Black and White for customizing. I'd love to see your ideas.
I know some of you might not want both of these, but it's like getting 2 things for the price of one. I didn't change the normal price. But, you are always welcome to message me in Etsy.
This video is in the listing now, it is how you put the book together.
If you know anyone that doesn't have access to a printer, this would make a great gift. Mitzi from Comefollowmekid.com writes these books, I sometimes help with the art. I believe she will have D&C 2025 weeks 1-12, ready for Christmas, this November.
Paying tithing opens the windows of heaven.
Help your children search 3 Nephi 24:8–12 to find ways to complete this sentence: If I pay tithing, the Lord will … . You could also share an experience in which you were blessed because you paid tithing. If it would be helpful, consider writing a few amounts of money and helping your children calculate how much tithing (10 percent) to give for each amount.
I taught this to 4-5 year olds, we all counted out the pennies together, and each child took a turn putting 9 pennies into the piggy bank and one in the envelop.
This tithing calculator is in the store with the coloring book.
This week’s activity page can help your children talk about some of the ways the Lord uses tithing to bless the members of His Church. Maybe they could draw pictures (or find pictures in Church magazines) of ways tithing blesses them.
This is my coloring book. It is in my store with the tithing calculator.
Here is a video showing how to assemble the book:
I like how this video shows pictures of some of blessings we receive from paying our tithing.
Everything else is free.
Heavenly Father wants me to learn about my ancestors.
How will you inspire your children to search for and learn about their ancestors? How can you encourage your children to perform ordinances for their ancestors when they are older? Consider helping them search 3 Nephi 25:5–6 to find something that was to happen in the latter days. Younger children could put their hand on their heart every time they hear the word “heart” as you read these verses. You could also read about how this prophecy was fulfilled in Doctrine and Covenants 110:13–16 (see also Gospel Art Book, no. 95). Tell your children about how your heart has turned to your ancestors. For example, you could share any experiences you’ve had learning about your ancestors and doing temple ordinances for them.
For those teaching their children at home...bless you! Here are some extra printable's from 4 years ago that you can use to teach the scriptures this week.
Cut the strips and put them over the praying boy as you learn this scripture.
