FHE: I Belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Prayer:

Picture #1: "To teach with pictures, first tell the children what or who is in the picture. Point out details in the picture to engage the children's attention. Invite children to repeat one or two words with you." Display the picture of Jesus Christ below. Point and ask them who it is. Answer: Jesus Christ.


Scripture: Tell the children that Jesus told us the name of the Church in the scriptures. Open the scriptures and read D&C 115:4 - "For thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." Invite the children to repeat the name of the Church with you, a few words at a time. Hold up your scriptures and tell the children that Jesus tells us what He wants us to know in the scriptures. 


Picture #2: Explain that Jesus speaks to His prophets and that in the Church of Jesus Christ we have prophets. Invite the children to say "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". Show a picture of President Thomas S. Monson and explain that he is our prophet today. Invite the children to say his name with you. 


Movement Song: My boys LOVED this. Prepare a brown paper sack with toy animals inside. Have a child draw an animal from the bag and use the animal action while singing the song below. Here are some examples:
  • Elephant: Stomp or March.
  • Bird: Flap your wings.
  • Frog: Jump.
  • Alligator: Clap your hands, arms straight out in front of you - like Alligator jaws.
  • Snake: Slither on the floor.
  • Chicken: Make chicken wings (arms bent, hands in armpits) and move them up and down.
  • Pig: Piggy Back Ride.
  • Horse: Gallop.


I Belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
I know who I am. 
I know God's plan.
I'll follow him in faith.


Coloring Page: Color the page below. Talk about the items and review the lesson. Invite children to say "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." (I have noticed repetition with toddlers helps so much!)
