Main lesson:  Jacob 5 is the longest chapter in the Book of Mormon. It is the allegory of the olive
tree. Start by displaying the definition of an allegory and teaching what it is. Then begin your study.
I recommend listening this chapter on audio while you follow along, stopping as you need to with
your children to discuss. Young children can color their vineyard scene and cut and paste the
branches on each time the bible story talks about a branch being trimmed or grafted in. This is a
good way to keep hands on and minds on through lots of reading. This bible study is important with
beautiful imagery so take your time and make it the sole focus of your main lesson this week. Once
you make it through the story you can use the olive tree timeline to review what was learned. The
images here help us understand what was being taught and the representation in the verses. Use
the visual aide in the manual on page 49 to help you understand the allegory. This provides a great
recap on some difficult concepts. As you close your lesson feel free to talk about missionary work
and how we can all be missionaries now. See below for more activites on this.
Mar 16-22

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3

Provided you will find dress
the missionaries paper dolls.
Laminate them and use
Velcro dots so children can
take clothes on and off. As
they play with these discuss
what a missionary is, how
they serve the Lord, and that
they help gather scattered
Israel. Sing I Want to Be a
Missionary Now.
In Jacob 7:1-23 we read about
faith. Sing Faith listed below.
You may want to plant a seed
in a cup and watch it grow over
the next few weeks. How can
our faith be so strong that is
can't be shaken?
 Use the missionary tags
provided. If you have a digital
subscription there is an editable
version. Write last names on
the tags in white crayon then
pin or tape them onto shirts.
Write up missionary calls for
each child and assign them a
mission. Pretend to hand out
the calls during your study one
night. Call them Elder and
Sister then give them a tag to
wear. Discuss how we can be
missionaries now!

Day 4
Watch the Book of Mormon
video for this week. This can
be found in the LDS library
app under Come Follow Me,
then Individuals and Family,
then Book of Mormon 2020.
These bible videos are an
excellent resource. They can
also be searched for on
churchofjesuschrist.org. Using
the scripture story guides with
your children would fit nicely
with the video.

The Lord Labors With Us
Jacob 5: 70-77
Parent: Read Jacob 5:70
Child: The Lord of the Vineyard is Christ. The world is the vineyard,
and we are his servants. Color the picture of Christ, the World, and his
servants.
70 And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sent his
servant; and the servant went and did as the Lord had
commanded him, and brought other servants; and they were few.
Parent: Read 5:71
Child: Use the body below to draw a picture of you as a missionary!
We are the servants laboring in the vineyard, serving others, and
preaching the gospel.
71 And the Lord of the vineyard said unto them: Go to, and labor
in the vineyard, with your might. For behold, this is the last time
that I shall nourish my vineyard; for the end is nigh at hand, and
the season speedily cometh; and if ye labor with your might with
me ye shall have joy in the fruit which I shall lay up unto myself
against the time which will soon come.
Parent: Read Jacob 5: 72
Child: Color the picture of the vineyard
72 And it came to pass that the servants did go and labor with
their mights; and the Lord of the vineyard labored also with them;
and they did obey the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard
in all things.
Parent: Read Jacob 5:73
Child: Draw the fruit that started again in the tree.
73 And there began to be the natural fruit again in the vineyard;
and the natural branches began to grow and thrive exceedingly;
and the wild branches began to be plucked off and to be cast
away; and they did keep the root and the top thereof equal,
according to the strength thereof.
Parent: Read Jacob 5:74
Child: Put an X on all the bad fruit. This represents them casting away
the bad fruit.
74 And thus they labored, with all diligence, according to the
commandments of the Lord of the vineyard, even until the bad had
been cast away out of the vineyard, and the Lord had preserved
unto himself that the trees had become again the natural fruit; and
they became like unto one body; and the fruits were equal; and
the Lord of the vineyard had preserved unto himself the natural
fruit, which was most precious unto him from the beginning.
Recommended for Ages 4-5 with Parents Guiding
and reading. Independet Reading Ages 6-8
Parent: Read Jacob 5:75
Child: Draw an Emoji of how we will feel in the last days after we have
labored in the vineyard.
75 And it came to pass that when the Lord of the vineyard saw that
his fruit was good, and that his vineyard was no more corrupt, he
called up his servants, and said unto them: Behold, for this last
time have we nourished my vineyard; and thou beholdest that I
have done according to my will; and I have preserved the natural
fruit, that it is good, even like as it was in the beginning. And
blessed art thou; for because ye have been diligent in laboring with
me in my vineyard, and have kept my commandments, and have
brought unto me again the natural fruit, that my vineyard is no more
corrupted, and the bad is cast away, behold ye shall have joy with
me because of the fruit of my vineyard.
Parent: Read Jacob 5:76
Child: Draw the fruit in each of the baskets. Make them look full and
lots of good fruit.
76 For behold, for a long time will I lay up of the fruit of my vineyard
unto mine own self against the season, which speedily cometh;
and for the last time have I nourished my vineyard, and pruned it,
and dug about it, and dunged it; wherefore I will lay up unto mine
own self of the fruit, for a long time, according to that which I have
spoken.
Parent: Read Jacob 5:77
Child: This represents the final judgment. Have your Parents help you
label what degree of glory each picture represents.
77 And when the time cometh that evil fruit shall again come into
my vineyard, then will I cause the good and the bad to be gathered;
and the good will I preserve unto myself, and the bad will I cast
away into its own place. And then cometh the season and the end;
and my vineyard will I cause to be burned with fire.
