It would be a great idea to start today's class with a song. Set the tone for a more reverent lesson.

Ideas for Teaching Children
The Savior loves each of Heavenly Father’s children.
You could use a picture like those in this outline or the video “Jesus Christ Prays and Angels Minister to the Children” (Gospel Library)
to help your children visualize the account in 3 Nephi 17. Consider reading phrases or verses from 3 Nephi 17 that emphasize the Savior’s love for the people (such as verses 7 and 20–25).
I chose verse 7 to focus on. Both are so beautiful, but maybe this shape match-up will help them visualize the scripture.
Your children could then draw a picture of themselves with Jesus. As they do, help them think of ways that Jesus has shown His love for them.
I made another coloring book this week.
This video is also in the listing on Etsy.

This is From Mitzi at Comefollowmekid.com she is so talented and has her ideas published in the ensign.
Read 3 Nephi 17:21–25 with your family, which describes the Savior ministering to people after His Resurrection. Talk about what it might have felt like to be there.
Draw or write these body parts on pieces of paper: hands, feet, knees, arms, eyes, and mouth. Pass them out to different family members.
Listen to “Had I Been a Child” from pages 80–81 of the Children’s Songbook.
Whenever a body part is mentioned in the song, have the family member holding that paper lift it up for everyone to see.
Discussion: Talk about how Jesus has a resurrected body and how one day we’ll have a resurrected body too. Jesus used His body to serve others. How can we serve others and show them love?
I can think about Jesus when I take the sacrament.
Perhaps you could invite your children to tell you what happens during the sacrament. Then you could read 3 Nephi 18:1–12 and ask your children to raise a hand when they hear something that is similar to what we do today. What does Jesus Christ want us to remember or think about during the sacrament? (see 3 Nephi 18:7, 11).
Jesus taught me how to pray.
Singing together a song about prayer, such as “A Child’s Prayer” (Children’s Songbook, 12–13), is a good way to help your children think about why we pray. You and your children could then read 3 Nephi 18:18–21 and talk about what Jesus taught about prayer. Inviting your children to tell you how they feel when they pray could help them share their testimony of prayer.
Cut out the pieces of this puzzle and pass them out to family/class members. Have them look up the scriptures and talk about what they learned. Then put the puzzle together.
It may be fun for children to go on a hunt for some of the treasured blessings of prayer. You could write the following scripture references on pieces of paper and hide them: 3 Nephi 18:15; 3 Nephi 18:20; 3 Nephi 18:21; 3 Nephi 19:9; and 3 Nephi 19:23. Your children could then find the papers and read the verses, looking for things Jesus Christ or His disciples taught about prayer.
