Primary 4 Lesson 16: Alma and Amulek in Prison

Primary 4 

Lesson 16: Alma and Amulek in Prison


Handouts:

1) How Can I Be Like A Missionary Now? Cut this handout into strips. Give the strips to the children. Have each child read how they can be a missionary now. With magnets, assemble the handout on the board to show the picture it makes.
Special Witness

2) Talk about how Alma and Amulek wanted to include everyone in receiving the Lord's message. What does it mean to include everyone? Act out a play to demonstrate this. The Magical Marvelous Magnificent Club.

3) Complete the "We Did Not Doubt" Dot-to-Dot after talking about Alma and Amulek's faith and how they needed that faith for the prison walls to fall.


4) Help the missionaries find the person they came to teach:
Funstuff, Missionary Quest

5) Make a "I Can Testify of Jesus Christ Wheel."
The First Vision

6) Make a growing missionary:
missionary cutouts and poem

7) Bring Sugar Cubes or wooden blocks. Build a prison (simple square structure). As you build it, talk about the sins that can become a spiritual prison for us.  When it is time to ask the children lesson questions, have them toss a beanbag or other soft object, trying to knock the prison down, if they answer the question correctly. This could be as simple as three stacked blocks, paper cups (turned upside down and stacked -with perhaps paper stuck to them with drawings of bricks), anything that they could knock down.  Be sure to make the analogy that repentance gives Jesus Christ the power to knock down our prison walls. But he won't do it, if we don't invite him through repenting.

Handouts/Activities:


1) Play the "What Am I ?" Game using the questions in the lesson.

2) Copy/paste images from this story into a Word document. Print it out.  Cut out the pictures.  Have the children put them in order.  And have the children retell the story. You could hand out a picture to each child and say, "Ok. Who has the next part of the story," having them stand up to tell about their part. Let the other children help them with the story if necessary. It is never a good idea to put a child on the spot without offering help. Church should be a warm, friendly place, not a testing ground. 
His daughter was sick

3) Make copies and read the rebus story,"Jesus Heals a Sick Man," together as a class. Perhaps you can pause at the pictures and let the children say those words.


4) The sick man in the scripture story needed help from his friends to reach Jesus. 
Finding Flowers

5) Make Look, Feel, and Help glasses.

9) Read this story so you know it well enough to retell it to your class. Why could Pres. Snow raise someone from the dead? (He had the priesthood)
One sister who visited the spirit world and was recalled to mortality by President Lorenzo Snow had personal experience with what the Prophet taught....
