Lesson

The purpose in teaching Primary 4 Lesson 23: Alma Counsels His Sons Helaman and Shiblon is to teach about the joy and guidance we find in the scriptures.

Play a variation of this fun Scripture Relay with your lesson this week- great way to get your class to crack open their scriptures.

This Alma Chapters 36-42 Class Packet will help with this and next week's lessons.

My Primary 4 Lesson 23 handout packet includes:

Journal page
3 sheets for the definition in Enrichment Activity #3. Use the frames to encourage each group to actually illustrate the definition- bonus points if they can think of a scripture story to draw. Give them a boost by providing a few stickers to get them thinking.
Scripture posters to go along with Enrichment Activity #2. You could cut each word or do the whole thing in puzzle pieces depending on the age group.
Also grab these free scripture study journal pages to encourage your class to study the scriptures this week.
I've made another Alma 37:37 print that you can have your class put in order.
