Nephi, however, delights in the words of Isaiah! He included the writings of Isaiah so that he…

Here is a poster my husband and I put together for Young Women in Excellence. We are doing a “Bee” theme to honor some girls who earned their “Honor Bees.” Also fits in with the 2014 Youth Theme, Moroni 10:32. Enjoy! Print, download, change, whatever. xo, Liz

Downloaded from: http://littleldsideas.blogspot.com/2013/10/sharing-time-i-can-share-gospel-with-my.html Sharing Time Idea from the Primary OutlineIDENTIFY THE DOCTRINE (hearing a story): Before Primary, read Elder Robert C. Oaks’s October 2000 conference talk, “Sharing the Gospel” (see Ensign, Nov. 2000, 81–82). Tell the children the story of the orange juice. Explain that the gospel is far sweeter than orange juice and that we should share it with others. Have the children say, “I can share the gospel with…

2 Nephi 5 To prepare for this lesson I taped a big sheet of bulletin board paper to the wall and drew this basic map: I will add to it throughout the year to help students keep track of where things are happening in relation to each other as the story progresses. I opened with a brief description of what is happening in the story to keep everyone on track….

2 Nephi 3 I took this lesson straight from the manual again with a few alterations. I drew the little stickmen on the board with the scriptures and had 4 kids come up and write who each represented. Then I erased all the stickmen except the one for Joseph Smith, and I had assigned students come up and write the things they discovered about Joseph Smith using the following verses…

This lesson was super, super easy. The manual had a group activity that worked out perfectly. I was like the others who reported back on the Facebook group — the activity went too long and bled into the following day’s lesson. I didn’t make a handout for this lesson because …. drum roll … the church already provided one! I rarely use the online lesson planner (I know — you’d…

Verily I say unto you, even as I am. The youth theme for this month is Becoming More Christlike. The topic I taught on today was “How can I become more Christlike?” I really felt that the message portrayed was important for all of us, so I decided to share it as my post for this…

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/10/1-nephi-19-trample-lord.html 1 Nephi 19:7 tells us that some people trample under their feet the Lord and his commandments. How do they do this?By refusing to to hearken to the Lord’s counsel and believing the things He says are not important. I passed out FTSOY (For The Strength Of Youth) books and had them each: *Pick a topic*Tell us how people trample it under their feet*How they can keep…

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/10/burdens.html What do you think are some reasons we experience hardships?Nephi was obedient, he did all that the Lord asked of him. Then why does he tell us he in 1 Nephi 17:1“We did…wade through much affliction”Elder L. Whitney Clayton of the Seventy explained:“In a general sense, our burdens come from three sources. [1] Some burdens are the natural product of the conditions of the world in which we live….

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/10/1-nephi-17-18-ship-building.html I handed out pieces of paper and asked the class to make a boat, one that will float (could not draw one).I was hoping they would ask directions, but they all just forged ahead and came up with some very interesting designs! I saw one of them that knew what he was doing. I asked him to come up and show everyone how to do it.At this…

I used ideas from the manual and from Teaching the Book of Mormon Part One to create this handout for my students. My goal was for them to really feel connected to Nephi through his frank acknowledgement of his weaknesses and to see from his example that they, too, can rely on the Savior during times of trial. The questions are mostly from the manual. I am also using the…

Downloaded from: http://ohwhatdoyoudoforsingingtime.blogspot.com/2013/10/halloween.html “Boo-ling” For this activity, you will need bowling pins (I picked mine up at Target), paper ghosts, and a small ball or pumpkin. Write song titles on the back of the ghosts and tape them to the bowling pins. Set the pins up and have a child roll the ball toward them. If the child knocks down one pin, that’s the song you sing. If a few pins…
