  May 1 - 7  ♡   Luke 12-17 & John 11 " R e j o i c e w i t h  M e ; f o r I H av e  F o u n d  M y S h e e p W h i c h  W a s  L o s t " Heavenly Father wants all of His children to return to Him Here are some cute handouts to go along with the lesson in Luke 15 (the parable about a hundred sheep). I used cotton balls and craft googly eyes to glue onto the sheep! I did mine ahead of time, but if there is plenty of class time, I would have the kids do it themselves! You can find these handouts here ! At the end of the lesson, we hid a stuffed animal sheep that was "lost", and went outside for the kids to go find! Once it was found, we gave them their handouts & treats. The recipe for the sheep treats can be found here ! Use 10 pennies and place them in a baggy to teach the parable of the woman and the 10 coins!

    April 17 - 23  ♡   Matthew 18 & Luke 10 " W h a t  S h a l l  I  D o  t o  I n h e r i t  E t e r n a l  L i f e " I should always forgive others "Write 'I forgive you' on the board, and tell the children that these words can help them turn sad moments into happy ones. Draw a sad face on the board, and share some examples of children forgiving one another. After each example, invite a child to change the sad face to a happy one." Jesus taught me to see all people as my neighbors and love them Click here for these super cute "Good Samaritan" handouts!

 Reframing Negative Thoughts Use this worksheet to help you think more realistically and positively!  For example:  Negative Thought- "I am stupid" What evidence or proof do you have that you are "stupid"? If you had to prove to me that you are what you say you are, where is your evidence to support that claim? You may say: "I failed my test", but does that prove to me that you are "stupid"? No!- Failing a test in itself does not indicate a lack of intelligence. Positive Thought- "I am capable of learning" What evidence to you have to support this positive claim?- "I can study. I can try again. I have a brain. I have learned things in the past. etc." In my practice, negative thoughts can always be reframed to be more realistic and positive. This may be difficult to do at first, but with diligent practice, your thought patterns can change over time and improve your mood!

  April 10 - 16  ♡   Matthew 15 - 17, Mark 7 - 9 " T h o u  A r t  T h e  C h r i s t " Jesus Christ gives prophets and apostles priesthood keys to lead His church I used a variety of different keys to attach examples of blessings that priesthood keys "unlock". As the children take turns picking a key, teach & discuss the associated blessings! I created these key handouts for the kids to take home and put in their scriptures! They can be attached to any treat if desired. I also think it would be cute attach these to some "real" keys (that don't go to anything), and give it to the kids to take home!

You've Been Gnomed! One day, my sister-in-law and her family thought it would be funny to "gnome" us. They printed out a bunch of small gnome images and taped them onto some popsicle sticks. They then surprised us by scattering them all over our front yard! Keric and I thought it was so fun. It definitely put a smile on are face.  I decided to make it a spring spinoff of the game "You've been BOOed" that happens during Halloween!  I wrote this silly poem to go along with the silliness of the gnomes. We are going to re-use the gnome sticks and scatter them in one of our neighbor's yards, along with these papers & some treats to place on their doorstep.

  Free Printable OCD Tracker I created this page, as recommended by my therapist, to help me track any of my intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and compulsions throughout the day. I found it uncomfortable to write down some of my intrusive thoughts, so in those instances I would abbreviate them to something more tolerable (For example: Instead of writing "What if I put my baby in the freezer", I would write "harm OCD", etc.). As I work on my OCD tendencies over time, I hope I will feel less guilty writing down my intrusive thoughts! I'm learning that thoughts do not equal intent.  Doing this has helped me to be more aware of my obsessions and how time-consuming they are. Recognizing thought patterns is the first step!

Free Printable Mood Log Here is a log that I made to help me understand my thoughts and emotions better. When I start to notice I am feeling uncomfortable, I will fill out this log and practice challenging any negative thoughts. -- Sometimes I will bring in a filled-out form and bring it into my next therapy session so we can talk about it.   You can find the rest of the mood log in my Etsy shop here !

  March 13 - 19  ♡   Matthew 11-12 & Luke 11 " I W i ll   Gi v e Y o u   R e s t " Heavenly Father Gives Us good gifts Use an object lesson to explain the Savior's teachings in Luke 11: 11-13 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? What are some good gifts God has given us? Here are some eggs that I printed out and laminated. The children can help put these inside the egg carton for the object lesson! Some of the eggs have ideas of "good gifts" that Heavenly Father blesses us with, while others are blank for you to write on or for the kids to think of one on their own!

Did you know Jesus can help us not be afraid? He can give us peace Read the story in Mark 4: 35-41 “[Jesus and his apostles were in a ship]… and there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” If you were on the ship, would you have felt scared? How did J

I made this PDF to help the children visualize the scripture (as well as assist them with some of the words, even if they can't read yet) on the board. I made a laminated, rectangle insert for each of the kids to write their own names in dry-erase marker. Each kid took a turn putting their name up in the spot where it says "the world", and we repeated saying the scripture out loud together as a class. The Savior image is from The Red Crystal blog , and some of the other images are clipart! Jesus Christ is my "living water" Explain "living water" after telling the story of Jesus and the woman at the well. The Gospel of Jesus Christ. And if we live it, Jesus promises that we will never be thirsty again (meaning that we
