Teaching Thoughts
These are a few bonus ideas- keep scrolling for more!
Share some more information about President Russell M. Nelson so your class can get to know him better.
Share some of the recent quotes from President Russell M. Nelson with your class. Ask how they are applying that quote to their lives and following the prophet's council. You can print my free quote cards in this post as well as this one about President Nelson's revelation talk.
Use a sponge and some paint for an object lesson about Naaman's washing.

My LDS Primary 6 Lesson 35 handout packet includes
Question cards from the lesson. Grab a stuffed animal or other toy to wrap up with toilet paper. As you wrap it, insert these question cards (refer to the manual for the order). Have your class unwrap it slowly until they reveal a question. They must answer the question they reveal. To keep things not so messy, have them wrap the toilet paper off the one animal onto a new toy. At the end, you can tie it into how Gehazi ended up with leprosy.
Blank cards to add in activities or additional questions. You can add in the Enrichment Activities or other fun things on these cards to put in the toilet paper wrapped animal. For example, you can insert random questions like "What are you going to dress up as for Halloween?" or "What did you do to serve someone this week?" You could also insert stickers or little things like that throughout for more fun.
