Additional Resources for Teaching Children

These resources can be found in the Gospel Library app and on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

Come, Follow Me—For Individuals and Families

You can adapt activities from Come, Follow Me—For Individuals and Families for use in your Primary class. Don’t worry if children have already done these activities with their families at home; repetition helps children learn. Children may want to tell you about how they did the activities with their families and what they learned.

Hymns and Children’s Songbook

Sacred music invites the Spirit and teaches doctrine in a memorable way. In addition to the print versions of Hymns and Children’s Songbook, you can find audio and video recordings of many hymns and children’s songs at music.ChurchofJesusChrist.org and in the Sacred Music and media library apps.

Behold Your Little Ones

Many of the topics addressed in the nursery manual Behold Your Little Ones: Nursery Manual are similar to those you will teach in Primary. Especially if you teach younger children, consider looking in the nursery manual for additional songs, stories, activities, and crafts.

Friend and Liahona Magazines

The Friend and Liahona magazines provide stories and activities that can supplement the principles that you are teaching from Come, Follow Me—For Primary.

Book of Mormon Stories

Book of Mormon Stories can help children learn the doctrine and stories found in the Book of Mormon. You can also find videos of these stories at medialibrary.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

Media Library

Artwork, videos, and other media can help children visualize the doctrine and stories found in the Book of Mormon. Visit medialibrary.ChurchofJesusChrist.org to browse the Church’s collection of media resources, including the Book of Mormon Videos collection, which depicts events in the Book of Mormon. The media library is also available as a mobile app.

Gospel Art

Artwork can help the children visualize the doctrine and stories found in the Book of Mormon. Many images that you can use in class are found in the Gospel Art Book, at medialibrary.ChurchofJesusChrist.org, and in the media library app.

True to the Faith

If you need additional help understanding the basic principles you will teach the children, consider looking in True to the Faith. This reference provides simple explanations of gospel topics, listed in alphabetical order.

Teaching in the Savior’s Way

Teaching in the Savior’s Way can help you learn about and apply principles of Christlike teaching. These principles are discussed and practiced in teacher council meetings.
