Show the children the first aid kit or sack and explain that inside it are some things that help us heal when we are sick or injured. Give the children clues about each item to help them guess what it is (for example, “It helps keep germs and dirt out of sores and cuts”).
When the children guess each item, show it to them and talk briefly about how it is used to help people heal. Remind the children not to use these items without their parents’ help.
Invite the children to share experiences when they or someone they know received a priesthood blessing.
How was that person healed or blessed?
Explain that Heavenly Father and Jesus love every person who asks to be healed, but sometimes people are not healed even when they are administered to. Some are not healed because Heavenly Father knows they can become stronger people by learning to live with their sickness or disability. Others are not healed because it is the right time for them to die and go back to Heavenly Father (see D&C 42:48). We must have faith that Heavenly Father knows the best answer to each prayer.
Testify that Jesus’s power can heal, bless, and comfort us.
Write "Being Kind Is..." in a big heart in the center of the board.
Ask the kids to finish the sentence and write ways they can be kind. Write those things on the board.
Discuss the questions on the "Kindness Kids" printable.
Being Kind Is Saying And Doing Nice Things To Others
Being Kind is Saying Sorry When I Hurt Someone
Finding Peace
When I am afraid or in danger, Jesus can help me feel peace.
Jesus Christ has power to bring peace in the midst of life’s storms.
Ask one of the children to use Mark 4:35–41 and the picture Jesus Calms the Storm (Gospel Art Book, no. 40) to tell the story of Jesus calming the storm. Ask the children to describe how they might have felt if they had been there.
Give each child a paper rain cloud, and ask them to write on it a trial that someone might have. Put all of the clouds on the board, covering a picture of the Savior. Invite a child to remove one of the clouds and suggest ways we could help someone with that trial to find peace. When all the clouds are removed, testify of the Savior’s power to calm the storms in our lives. (OR SEE ADVERSITY BAG in the Trials & Adversity Post for another idea similar to this one).
Invite the children to make the sounds of a storm and stop when someone says “Peace, be still.” Testify that just as Jesus can bring us peace when there is a storm outside, He can bring us peace in our hearts when we feel bad on the inside.
Teach the children actions to accompany the third verse of “Tell Me the Stories of Jesus” (Children’s Songbook, 57), and sing the verse together while doing the actions.
Jesus loves us even when we sin and wants to help us repent.
The accounts in Mark 2:15–17 and Luke 7:36–50 can help the children understand that Jesus Christ loves us even when we sin. He wants to help us repent and draw close to Him.
Write How does Jesus feel about sin? and How does Jesus feel about us when we sin? on the board. Ask the children to think about these questions as they read together the scripture accounts.
Why is it important to know that Jesus loves us, even though we aren’t perfect? How can knowing this help us when we need to repent?
Sinner with Ointment (see story & pics here): From her example, we learn that no matter how small or large our sins may be, we are never beyond the reach of the Savior. As we come unto Him and show Him our love, He will grant us the forgiveness we seek. (Her card is also in the REPENTANCE FOLDER GAME, which let's kids match pictures with very short descriptions of those that sinned and repented in the scriptures. Learn more in the post below or visiting the shop).
