Song: Keep the Commandments, p. 146
Keep the
commandments, keep the commandments!
In this there is
safety; in this there is peace.
He will send
blessings; He will sending blessings.
Words of a
prophet: Keep the commandments.
In this there is
safety and peace.
Teaching idea: Move your
hands/arms to the music like the waves of the ocean, with palms down, arms
rocking back and forth. As the song gets quieter/ louder the waves get
smaller/higher. Watch first few seconds of this video.
Dramatization: God spoke to Lehi in a dream (pretend to
be asleep). He told him to leave Jerusalem with his family (wake up). Lehi had
a wife, Sariah, and four sons, Laman, Lemuel, Sam and Nephi (hold up four
fingers and point to each as you say names of sons). Lehi’s family packed up
food and tents and traveled into the wilderness (pretend to pack up a bag and
begin walking). Laman and Lemuel thought their dad was foolish (make grumpy
face and fold arms). They did not believe Lehi (shake head, “no”). They did not
want to leave their home and money. Nephi wanted to understand what Lehi saw in
his dream. He prayed to God (kneel down and fold arms). Jesus came and visited
Nephi. He told Nephi that what his dad said was true. Nephi believed (nod
head). The Lord said he would bless Nephi because of his faith.
Art/Craft: There are free
activity books here that
go along with a variety of scripture stories. You just need to create a free
account (super easy). For this chapter, I downloaded the “Nephi and the Brass
Plates” book and used pages 7, 9 and 10.
1. Preview the chapter
with a picture walk. (Explanation found here.)
2. Read through the
story. Ask questions and take time to look at the pictures as you read. Take as
many days as needed to read the whole chapter.
End by listening to/singing the song. (Teach how to move arms like waves.)
3. Have child color one of the coloring pages
quietly while you read sections of the story from the actual scriptures. Find
the passages you feel are most important to share and highlight them beforehand
for an easier read. If needed, summarize between passages to make up for any
disconnect. Take as many days as needed to read through the passages. End by
listening to/singing the song.

4. Dramatization: act
out the chapter as outlined. Then, while they color another coloring page, read
a few of your favorite verses from the scripture passages.
5. Watch the scripture story video for
this chapter. Then act out the chapter with your child.
6. Have child act out
dramatization on his/her own while you read the outline (try having older
toddler do it without any help). Ask what their favorite part of the story was.
Read 1 Nephi 2:20, first sentence: “And inasmuch as ye shall keep my
commandments, ye shall prosper, and shall be led to a land of promise.” Share
your testimony about how we can be blessed when we obey and keep the
commandments, like Lehi and Nephi. End by singing the song.
