Display a calendar, and ask the children which day is the Sabbath day.
Tell them that before Jesus's Resurrection, the Sabbath day was the seventh day, as it says in Genesis 2:2–3.

Explain that two of the older children are going to explain more about the Sabbath.

The week before, ask one child to prepare a summary of "History of the Sabbath" and another to prepare a summary of "The Lord's Day" from the Gospel Principles Sunday School manual, pages 160–61.

Invite the children to help you make a list of ways to keep the Sabbath day holy. Focus on what we should do rather than on what we should not do.

Sing "The Sabbath Day" (Friend, Nov. 2004, 27).
Encourage them to think about the Savior and feel the peace that comes during the song's introduction, interlude, and ending.
Display a picture of Jesus Christ during these intervals.

Express your love for the Savior and your happiness that we have a special day each week to remember Him.
