Chapter 3: The Angel Moroni and the Gold Plates
The Car Wash from Latter Day Kids
Come Create with Me Lamb Mask Craft (you will need paper plates and cotton balls)
From the Manual:
Revelation 12:7–11; 14:6 Some family members might enjoy drawing pictures of the visions described in Revelation. For example, drawing pictures based on Revelation 12 could lead to discussions about the War in Heaven (see verses 7–11). Pictures based on Revelation 14:6 could lead to discussions about the Restoration of the gospel.
After reading Revelation 14:6 together, consider showing pictures of the angel Moroni and of other angels who helped restore the gospel in our day. Perhaps family members could take turns holding up one of the pictures and sharing reasons they are thankful that angels came “having the everlasting gospel to preach unto [us].”
Treat:
Make a simple sword treat like this one from Rainy Day Mum. Discuss this part of the manual, and then talk about how Christ and our testimonies are more valuable weapons in this war than swords.
From the Manual: We don’t know a lot about the War in Heaven, but there is a vivid though brief description of it in Revelation 12:7–11. As you read these verses, picture yourself as part of that premortal conflict. What do you learn about how Satan is overcome? (see verse 11). The war that started in heaven continues on earth, as Satan persists to “make war with [those who] have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:17). What do you learn from Revelation 13 about how he is waging that war today? How do “the blood of the Lamb” and “the word of [your] testimony” (Revelation 12:11) continue to help you in this war?

Week 52 Fleeing Babylon
Revelation 15-22 “He That Overcometh Shall Inherit All Things”
Song: “When He Comes Again”
Videos:
Dare to Stand Alone
Light the World Follow the Example of Jesus Christ
From the Manual:
Revelation 15:2–4 As your family discusses these verses, which refer to “the song of Moses” and “the song of the Lamb,” you might read the song of Moses in Exodus 15:1–19, along with other songs mentioned in the scriptures, like Doctrine and Covenants 84:98–102. Why might those who get “the victory over the beast” (Revelation 15:2) feel like singing songs like these? Perhaps your family could sing a hymn or children’s song of praise.
Treat:
From the manual: Share with the children some images or details that John used to describe celestial glory (see Revelation 21:1, 3–4, 22–27; 22:1–2), and invite the children to draw pictures of these things.
Use edible playdough to make models of these descriptions.
