Encourage understanding (seeing an object lesson):
Blindfold a child. Have another child hold a picture of Jesus Christ somewhere in the Primary room.
Have the blindfolded child try to locate the picture without any help.
Repeat the activity, but this time ask two children to hold up a pole, rope, or string representing the iron rod that leads from the blindfolded child to the picture of Christ.
Have the child follow the rope to the picture. Ask: “How is holding on to the rope like reading the scriptures?” (See 1 Nephi 15:23–25.)

Teach the children the chorus to “The Iron Rod” ( Hymns, no. 274).
