Baptism FHE Lesson

Baptism FHE Lesson
by Allison Newitt, Digitized and adapted by Lara Goold
Materials needed: Scriptures, bowl of water, black pepper, liquid dishwashing soap, ball of yarn or string
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to teach about Jesus’ baptism, what happens when someone is baptized, and
the importance of the covenants we make at baptism.
Scripture: “And now; because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, his
sons, and his daughters.”
Mosiah 5:7
Opening song(s) and prayer:

“When Jesus Christ was Baptized,” Children’s Songbook, page 102
“When I Am Baptized,” Children’s Songbook, page 103
Lesson: 1. Lesson Development
Opening Activity (need a bowl of water, black pepper, and liquid dishwashing soap):
Before the demonstration, put a little soap on your forefinger. Sprinkle pepper into the water as
you have the children call out different sins that people commit (the pepper representing sin).
Tell them very briefly about Jesus being baptized and how He set the example for us to follow
and that we should follow him in baptism. Let your fingers walk up to the bowl and lifting your
forefinger as if you’re making that one BIG step. As your finger touches the water the pepper
will shoot to the other side of the bowl. This will show them how your sins are washed away.
When Jesus Christ was Baptized (with visuals). Use the pictures to tell the story from the
New Testament when John the Baptist baptized Jesus.
Story: “What Happens When I am Baptized” (with summary and visuals)—use the story
figures and enclosed summary to explain the process a person goes through when he or she is
baptized.
Ask the children if they have any questions. Take care to alleviate any concerns they may have
about the process.
2. “Why are we Baptized?” Activity (need a ball of yarn or string) {idea is from
fheplanner.blogspot.com}
Baptism is the first ordinance that gets us on our way back to our heavenly home. This can be
demonstrated using a ball of yarn. Before FHE designate a spot in your house as the final
destination of Heavenly Home (you can make a sign saying so). Take a ball of yarn and create a
trail throughout many rooms of your home. Leave one end at the heavenly home and one end for
the starting point. When you do this activity, each person should follow the yarn trail until they
reach their heavenly home. Along the way, talk about how baptism is the first step that we need
to take to keep following our way back home to our Heavenly Father.

3. Baptismal Promises (use the “I Promise…, Heavenly Father Promises…” and the
Baptismal Promises pictogram)
Teach your child what a covenant is ( a two-way promise), then using the above resources
review the promises that we make at baptism and the promises that Heavenly Father makes with
us at baptism.
Bear your testimony about the importance of baptism and if applicable, how excited you are
for a child (or friend’s) upcoming baptism.

Enrichment: Based on the ages and attention spans of your children, choose one or more of the following enrichment
activities to enhance the message of the lesson. Enrichment activities do not necessarily need to be
completed on the same night as the lesson. We often use them as reinforcement/reminders during the
week.
Baptism Activity Book : Print off enough Baptism Activity Books (a separate document) that
everyone can have their own copy. Let the children color and complete the activities on their own during
the week or put it into the church bag for a good Sacrament meeting quiet activity.
Craft/Display for Week (Baptismal Mobile) Cut out and put together the mobile. Hang in your
house during the week.
Baptism Puzzle : Put together the pieces of the puzzle and glue them onto a sheet of paper. Hang up the
picture of Jesus getting baptized along with the completed puzzle.
