This week:
Ideas for Teaching Children Jeremiah 31:3 Heavenly Father and Jesus love me “with an everlasting love.” As you read Jeremiah 31:3 with your children, they could help you find objects (or pictures of objects) that last a long time, such as a metal coin, and some that do not, such as a piece of fruit. You could talk about what “everlasting” means and share with each other how you have felt Heavenly Father’s “everlasting love.” You could also sing together a song like “God Is Watching Over All” (Children’s Songbook, 229).
Jeremiah 31:31–34; 32:38–41 God will help me keep my covenants. Your children might enjoy drawing a heart on a piece of paper and then writing in the heart things they learn from Jeremiah 31:31–34 about making covenants with God. You may want to review the covenant they make at baptism (see Mosiah 18:10, 13) and discuss what it means to have these promises written in their hearts.
Jeremiah 36:1–4 The scriptures are the word of God. This week’s activity page could help your children learn about Jeremiah, Baruch, and the king (see Jeremiah 36). They could also do actions that go along with the words in Jeremiah 36:4–10, such as writing in a book (see verse 4) and reading the scriptures to the people (see verses 8, 10).
You and your children could look at a children’s book and a copy of the scriptures and talk about how these books are different. What makes the scriptures special? It may be inspiring to share with each other some scripture passages that are special to you.
Jeremiah 38:6–13 I can stand up for what is right. You could use the picture at the end of the outline to help your children visualize the story of Ebed-melech in Jeremiah 38:6–13. Maybe you could help them find a verse where Ebed-melech did something brave to help the Lord’s prophet. What can we do to show that we know our prophet today is called of God?
Lamentations 1:1–2, 16; 3:22–26 The Savior made it possible for me to be forgiven of my sins. To introduce Lamentations, you may want to explain to your children that because the Israelites had not repented, Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed. You could share with each other how you might have felt if you were living there at that time (see Lamentations 1:1–2, 16). How might the message in Lamentations 3:22–26 have given you hope?
You could also tell each other about times you felt sad about a bad choice you made. What do we find in Lamentations 3:22–26 that helps us understand the forgiveness Jesus Christ offers?

The Redeemer Shall Come to Zion” Isaiah 58–66 Early in His ministry, Jesus Christ visited a synagogue in Nazareth, where He was raised. He stood there to read from the scriptures, opened the book of Isaiah, and read what we now know as Isaiah 61:1–2. He then announced, “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.” This was one of the Savior’s most straightforward declarations that He was the Anointed One, who would “heal the brokenhearted” and “preach deliverance to the captives” (see Luke 4:16–21). This scripture was indeed fulfilled on that day. And, like many other prophecies of Isaiah, it is also being fulfilled in our day. The Savior continues to heal the brokenhearted who come unto Him. There are still many captives who need deliverance. And there is a glorious future to prepare for—a time when the Lord will “create new heavens and a new earth” (Isaiah 65:17) and “cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations” (Isaiah 61:11). Reading Isaiah opens our eyes to what the Lord has already done, what He is doing, and what He will yet do for His people.
We are still learning the Psalms for kids this week! We will learn: When I make a wrong choice, Jesus Christ can help me change. I will remember the works of the Lord. Repentance is a change of heart. This is a come follow me podcast for kids. This podcast follows the come follow me manual from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
This is a podcast for primary kids that belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (and friends)! We are not officially affiliated with the church, just members who love it’s gospel. In this episode we are studying Psalms, specifically the Psalm that talks about “The Lord is my shepherd.” If the children can learn at a young age that the Lord is their shepherd, they will be more likely to follow Him “in the paths of righteousness.” We will also learn that the Lord offers us peace, strength, and guidance.
