I can choose the right when others try to get me to do wrong.
To start a discussion about learning to trust Heavenly Father, you might want to review the story of the lost manuscript pages (see Doctrine and Covenants Stories, 18–21).
You could then role-play with your children situations when they might be tempted to do something they know isn’t right. What words or phrases in Doctrine and Covenants 3:5–8; 5:21–22 could help them during these situations?
Use this as your sorting mat after you read the scripture.
The cars have situations written on them, that you can read to the child/ren, they can then sort out which cars go on which roads.

You can look at the pictures in the listing, it is available in B&W.

The Lord invites me to help with His work.
Each verse in Doctrine and Covenants 4 contains precious truths that can help your children learn about serving God. Here are some ideas to help them discover these truths:
You could read together Doctrine and Covenants 4:1 and show pictures that depict God’s “marvelous” latter-day work (such as missionaries, temples, and the Book of Mormon).
Your children could think of actions or draw pictures depicting the phrase “serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength” (Doctrine and Covenants 4:2).
I recommend: Cut out the pieces before class. Everyone can have there own picture ( give them time to draw themselves) and they can practice placing the pieces as you go through the scripture together, repeat as long as the students are interested. You can attach an envelop to the back so they can take it home and still practice placing the pieces as they learning/ memorizing the scripture.
(I recommend using card stock)
For older students:
If you scroll down and read the comments, Rebecca Murry says this:
"One thing I was thinking as I looked at the “heart might mind and strength” picture, is that it kind of goes along with the children and youth program. Heart could be social, might spiritual, mind intellectual, and strength physical. So I think I will relate this to the goals my kids have been thinking about for this year. How can your goals in each area help you serve God in that way? How can your intellectual goals help you serve God with your mind, etc. "
I love it! Rebecca is a genius. I actually made a printable a while ago, it would be great for teaching this to older children, and setting their goals.

You could look together at tools that are used to work in a field. How do these tools help us? Then your children could find things in Doctrine and Covenants 4:5–6 that are like tools for doing God’s work.
There is a tool belt (and hat) in my store, that helps teach this.
Older children could search Doctrine and Covenants 4 on their own and make a list of things they learn about what it means to serve God.
I think it would be good to record these things as a class. Here is something engaging to but on your board.
You could sing together a song about missionary work, such as “I Want to Be a Missionary Now” (Children’s Songbook, 168).
You can print this HERE, there is also a video.
I made this scavenger hunt during covid, so it is set up for a home, family or activity days group. Hope you enjoy.
Wanted to show you how I wrote where the envelop is to be hidden. Just makes it easier to remember.
