Do you ever sit down to plan a lesson and wonder where to start?
In this episode, I share the simple 5-step framework that guides my lesson planning and helps me create engaging, Christ-centered learning experiences for children. We'll talk about shifting our focus from "What will I teach?" to "What will my students do to learn?", using effective hooks, helping children discover doctrine in scripture stories, creating opportunities for application and practice, and always connecting learning back to Jesus Christ.
Whether you teach in Primary, youth classes, family scripture study, or another gospel setting, these principles can help you create lessons that invite participation, discovery, and conversion.
My hope is not that you'll copy every idea, but that the Holy Ghost will inspire you with ideas tailored to the children you teach. They are worth our creativity, preparation, and effort as we help them apply the doctrine of Jesus Christ in their own lives!
Join me as we explore a simple approach to lesson planning that can help children become active learners and disciples of Jesus Christ.

Both ideas this week for "Come Follow Me" focus on teaching children how to recognize the Holy Ghost. Junior primary has a special guest, a puppet! He helps the kids understand how he feels the Spirit. The kids get to practice identifying what they feel when they sing songs or look at pictures of Jesus around the room.
Senior Primary kids will get to choose their own adventure! This lesson is all about them choosing their own path, creativity and following the spirit to teach the class about the principle or doctrine in their resource. In partnerships or groups, they read a scripture or paragraph about the Holy Ghost and figure out how to teach it to someone else. Here are the directions you can print out or write on the board so they can refer to them later.
Read the resource with your group.Decide on how to teach everyone else to feel the holy ghost or invite him into our lives to the class- Some options: A poem. A role play. A drawing. A diagram. A song.Make sure each person in your group has a job and participates. -

Let's talk about scaffolding! As gospel teachers, we need to scaffold kids' learning experiences in the church and at home to build their confidence.
