King Benjamin had three sons: Mosiah (the oldest), Helorum and Helaman. He taught his sons about God and how they are to praise Him and give Him thanks in all things. His sons did these things and they were good too. King Benjamin taught them to read their scriptures and bore his testimony to them.
King Benjamin was getting very old and decided to make Mosiah the new king when he died. Being a king mean taking lots of responsibility. Mosiah was going to be responsible for 4 things: the brass plates, the plates of Nephi, the sword of Laban and the liahona. King Benjamin asked all the people in the land to come and hear what he had to say. Lots of people came and set up their tents facing the temple so they could hear what the King had to say. King Benjamin told the people that it is good to work hard and keep the commandments. If they did then God would bless them. He also told the people that Mosiah would be their next king.
Shortly after King Benjamin was done talking, he died. Mosiah was then the new king and he was a good king too.
Made a job chart. King Benjamin said it was good for us to work hard!
Lunch was "pizza towers". When King Benjamin talked to his people, he stood on a tower so they could hear him.
We made/wore King Benjamin hats while eating our towers.
We also colored the picture from the handouts but forgot to take the picture.
I had two sock puppets and told the boys to tell me to STOP when they were fighting. I told a story about the two "puppets" and when they got mad at each other they yelled STOP!
Went thru the ten commandments again.
We made a "Work Book". It had a few pages in it for the boys to cut out magazine clips of people working or things that needed worked on.
Questions:
1. Who was King Benjamins sons?
2. Why do you think Mosiah was chosen to be king?
3. What are some jobs you can do to work hard?
4. Have you ever heard a testimony? What was it about?
