I Can Build My Foundation on Jesus Christ

Helaman 5:12

The Wise & Foolish Man from News with Naylors. Use a similar idea to teach about how Christ is our rock. We used a brick and bristle blocks for the wise man's house and you can use sand for the foolish man's house. Squirt with a squeeze bottle as the "rains come".

Building a Strong Foundation from Making Life Blissful. Use Jenga Blocks to teach how we can have a strong foundation in Christ. If we take away one thing (like prayer), it may not seem to matter, but it weakens our foundation. If you continue to NOT do important things, eventually the foundation falls.

Build Upon the Rock from Latter Day Kids. The cutest animated videos, object lesson and scripture references to teach about building upon the rock of Christ.

Rock Painting. Talk about characteristics of rocks (hard, strong, can't break) and relate to how we can build on foundation on Christ (our rock).
