- a recipe,
- a blueprint for a house,
- instructions for putting together a toy.
Explain that when we put something together—such as a house, a batch of cookies, or a toy—it is best to know what will happen in the end. We need a plan.
Before we
came to the earth, Heavenly
Father presented His plan. It is
called the plan of salvation.
Invite the full-time
missionaries or a recently
returned missionary approved by
the bishop or branch president
to teach the plan of salvation,
from Preach My Gospel (pp.
47–59).
Remind the presenters beforehand
that the presentation must be
simple enough for children.

For
older children:
Ask
the children to figure out what
order the songs in “The Savior”
section (pp. 34–83) of the
Children’s Songbook are in.
Read through the titles of the
songs. Give them hints to help
them discover that the songs are
in chronological order. The
section includes songs about the
prophecy of His birth, His
childhood and ministry, His
Resurrection, our desire to be
like Him, and His Second Coming.
You could make wordstrips for
each of these parts of the
Lord’s life.
Sing songs
about different parts of His
life, pointing out that Jesus
Christ is essential to the plan
of salvation.
Testify that He is the Savior of
the world.
