COME FOLLOW ME Old Testament – Moses 7 JANUARY (week 5) Lesson 5 “The Lord Called His People Zion” (January 24-30, 2022) – Activities and Song Visuals for Primary and Home, family home evening (individual families), Sunday School, Seminary

Share the story of Enoch’s people from “Enoch the Prophet” (in Old Testament Stories), or let the children tell the story in their own words using the picture of Enoch in this week’s outline in Come, Follow Me—For Individuals and Families. You could also sing with the children the second verse of “Follow the Prophet” (Children’s Songbook, 110–11) to review the story.

Help the children think of things that make Heavenly Father happy. Read Moses 7:28 with the children, and explain that Heavenly Father was sad because the people were very wicked (see verses 32–33).

Let the children draw a happy face on one side of a piece of paper and a sad face on the other side. Name some good actions, like saying a prayer, and some negative ones, like telling a lie, and ask the children to hold up the happy face or sad face to show how Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ would feel about each choice.

Invite the children to play a game in which they act out things they can do that make Heavenly Father happy. Ask the other children to guess what they are doing. Share with each of the children something you have seen them do that makes Heavenly Father happy.

Ask the children to look for words that describe Enoch’s people, also known as Zion, as they read Moses 7:18. Write these words as headings at the top of the board, and invite the children to write, under each heading, things they can do to be more like Enoch’s people. After they share, ask the children how they can make their homes more like Zion. They might find some ideas in 4 Nephi 1:15–18.

Ask the children to count how many times the word “Zion” appears in Moses 7:18–21, 62–63, 68–69. Each time the word appears, help the children identify what the verse says about Zion (see also Guide to the Scriptures, “Zion,” scriptures.ChurchofJesusChrist.org). How can we be more like the people described in these verses?

Use this week’s activity page to help the children think about ways they can be “of one heart and one mind” (see Moses 7:18).

Ask the children what might cause God to weep (see Moses 7:28–31). Invite the children to search Moses 7:32–33, 37 for answers. What do these verses teach us about how God feels about His children? How do we know that God loves us? Share your testimony of God’s love for us.

Toss a bean bag or a ball to a child. Ask him or her to finish the phrase “I can make God happy by …” and then toss the object to another child. Repeat until every child has had a turn.

Read together Moses 7:60–67, and help the children identify things the Lord says will happen in the last days. Ask them which of these events they are looking forward to and why.

Invite the children to talk about a time when they waited for someone to visit or to return home. How did the children feel? What did they do to get ready? How can we prepare to see Jesus again?

Show a picture of the Savior’s Second Coming (for example, see Gospel Art Book, no. 66). Let the children draw their own pictures of the Second Coming, based on what they read in Moses 7:60–67.
