Lesson
The purpose of Primary 3 Lesson 22: The Atonement of Jesus Christ is to realize that we can repent because of Christ's Atonement for us.
Teaching Thoughts
Sugardoodle also has a great object lesson and thematic printables that would go with this lesson as well.
Remember Lesson 10 also talked about repentance. My handouts for that lesson include the steps of repentance that you may want to print out again for review.
You can also use the bear idea found at Pergler's Primary Place.
The Red Headed Hostess class packet includes a great Road to Repentance visual aid.
