These are a few bonus ideas- keep scrolling for more!
Kimberly Bourne Design has a great file folder matching game that goes with this lesson.
Get a Sabbath day activities booklet and more with The Red Headed Hostess class packet.
Bring a stack of paper plates to be manna. Put a bunch around the room and see how fast the kids can gather up the plates. Then add silly instructions like "while hopping on one foot" or "jumping like a kangaroo."

Sunday Cards to go with Enrichment Activity 1. As you do a verse of the child, have them pick a card first. You can also do it more like charades where each person has to act out the card instead.

Activity Ideas
Remember the Sabbath Day- For each activity a child says is good to do on Sunday, he can put a piece of manna into the basket.
The Lord's Day- A paper folding game- You could glue in pictures instead of words. Good way to keep some kids attention.
Lily's Sunday Morning- Find Lily's matching socks so she can go to church
Getting Ready for Church- Find the objects- will have to read out loud or do together
Going to Church- Maze
Saturday is a Special Day- Find the missing objects
What is This?- Guess the pictures
Remember Jesus Christ during the Sacrament- Put together this wheel to use during the sacrament
Sunday Activities- Skip the unscrambling and use the pictures to talk about different activities
More than Just Quietly Sitting- Like a matching game but with how to be more reverent
The Sabbath is a Delight- Make a Sunday mobile
