Program Song: I Am a Child of God (p2)
Wiggle Songs: Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam (p60)
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes (p275)
Identify the doctrine: I am a child of God. God is my Heavenly Father. He knows and loves me.
Help the children understand it:
Tell children that this year our theme is "I Am a Child of God". Bear testimony that each child is a child of God, that He is their Heavenly Father, and that He knows them by name and loves them. Show the video, "I Am a Child of God" made by the church on the Mormon Channel on YouTube:
Tell the children that they will sing the first verse twice and then the second verse once. Invite the children to sing along. Tell them that we will be learning the second verse today, so don't worry if they don't know the words yet! (Especially our new little Sunbeams!)
