I like to look
for rainbows whenever there is rain (left hand up over eyes looking for
something, right hand imitates rain with fingers)
And ponder on
the beauty of an earth made clean again (finger
up to head for “ponder”, ASL for “beauty”,
ASL
for “clean”)
I want my life
to be as clean as earth right after rain (point
to self, ASL
for “clean”, make rain with hands)

Activities:
1. Printable Figures
Summary:
(compliments printable figures)
1. After Alma ran away from King Noah’s
servants, he wrote down what Abinadi had taught. He found people to share Abinadi’s
message with.
2. He taught the people to have faith in
Jesus and to repent. The people who believed Alma were baptized. Alma baptized
many people.
3. King Noah’s servants saw Alma teaching the
people. King Noah sent an army to kill them. God warned Alma. Alma and his people
ran away. God protected them.
4. Alma and his people found a beautiful
place to live. The people loved and served one another and were happy.

Activities:
This little
coloring page would be good if you are choosing to sing and focus on
the fourth article of faith. Do the slits mean you are supposed to cut and form
a cube with all four pieces? I don’t know. Haha.
Scripture Study
Outline
Again, if you haven't read
my initial post, read it here. This outline is very brief. The link will lead to an
explanation of the scripture study and gives more information for how to teach
it.
1. Preview the chapter with a picture walk. (Explanation found here.) Introduce
the song by listening to it a couple times and humming to the tune.
2. Read through the storyin the manual. 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.
3. Have your child color the printable figures and/or coloring pages
while you read sections of the story from the actual scriptures (look at scriptural references under the pictures in the manual). Take as many
days as needed to read through the passages. End each day by singing the song.
4. (Cut
out colored printable figures in advance. Optional: Tape them to
straws/popsicle sticks.) Share the summary as you hold up the printable
figures. Repeat a few times. Ask questions about the figures/story. See if they
can repeat some or parts of the summary back to you. End by singing the song.
5. Watch the scripture story video. End by reading your
favorite verse from the passages and singing the song.
6. Have child try to retell the story using the figures, helping
them as needed. Read a favorite verse from this story two times and have your
child read it with you the second time. Share your testimony. End by singing
the song.
