I Am a Child of God

Topic:
We are all children of God.

Materials:
Scriptures
Children's Song Book
Pictures of family and friends or pictures of various people from the gospel art kit/book, primary visual aids cutouts, church magazines, LDS image library etc.

Song Suggestion:
I Am a Child of God (Children's Songbook, 2)

Scripture:
Psalm 82.6 "All of you are children of [God]."

Lesson:
We all have mothers and fathers on earth who love us. We also have a Heavenly Father in heaven (clarify for younger children that he is also called God) who loves us. We are all children of Heavenly Father/God.

Activity Ideas:
1) Go around to each person in the room and say their name. Then say "[name] is a child of God."

2) Show pictures of people and ask your child(ren) if each person is a child of God. You can also hand them each picture and have them say "[name] is a child of God".

3) You can make a poster that says I Am a Child of God on top of it. Have your child(ren) put pictures of everyone in their family on the poster.

4) Have your child(ren) draw a picture of themselves and/or their family and write I am a Child of God on top of the page. Display the picture on the fridge or somewhere else in the home.

Closing Remarks:
Emphasize that everyone is a child of God and that God knows and loves each and every one of us.

Treat Time: We always have a treat for FHE. In fact, we make it a big deal so that FHE is something to look forward to.
