December Sharing Time Lesson - Week 1 - The Prophets Foretold that Jesus Christ Would Come to Earth

This is how I prepped for Sunday's primary lesson, from the 2013 "I am a Child of God" sharing time outline:

For Junior primary, I made simple, Bible-style costumes, with head pieces, although I forgot to take pictures of the head pieces. (See more on how I made the costumes on my craft blog.) I also printed off the name of each prophet and will have each child hold the name of the prophet in front of them.

For Senior primary, I'll put the images of each prophet on the chalkboard, for children to identify.

If you don't have the images from the Gospel Art Book or Primary 4 packet handy, you can print them online from the church Media Library, source info shown as links below:

 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a ^asign; ^bBehold, a^cvirgin shall conceive, and bear a ^dson, and shall call his name^eImmanuel.

Isaiah 9:6

6 For unto us a ^achild is ^bborn, unto us a ^cson is given: and the^dgovernment shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, ^eCounsellor, The ^fmighty ^gGod, The ^heverlasting Father, The Prince of ⁱPeace.

1 Nephi 11:14-15, 20-21

14 And it came to pass that I saw the ^aheavens open; and an angel came down and stood before me; and he said unto me: Nephi, what beholdest thou?

 15 And I said unto him: A virgin, most beautiful and fair above all other virgins.

 20 And I looked and beheld the virgin again, bearing a ^achild in her arms.

 21 And the angel said unto me: Behold the ^aLamb of God, yea, even the ^bSon of the Eternal ^cFather! Knowest thou the meaning of the^dtree which thy father saw?

Mosiah 3:5-8 (King Benjamin addresses his people)

5 For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the ^aLord ^bOmnipotent who ^creigneth, who was, and is from all ^deternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a ^etabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty ^fmiracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the ^gblind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.

 6 And he shall cast out ^adevils, or the ^bevil spirits which dwell in the hearts of the children of men.

 7 And lo, he shall ^asuffer ^btemptations, and pain of body, ^chunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can ^dsuffer, except it be unto death; for behold, ^eblood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his ^fanguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people.

 8 And he shall be called ^aJesus ^bChrist, the ^cSon of God, the ^dFatherof heaven and earth, the ^eCreator of all things from the beginning; and his ^fmother shall be called Mary.

Mosiah 15:1

 1 And now Abinadi said unto them: I would that ye should understand that ^aGod himself shall ^bcome down among the children of men, and shall ^credeem his people.

Alma 

"Alma preaching to the people"

http://www.lds.org/media-library/images/gospel-art/book-of-mormon?lang=eng#teaching-true-doctrine-608387

Alma 7:10-12 (Alma, the High Priest, speaking to the people in Gideon. This is the son of Alma.)

 10 And behold, he shall be ^aborn of Mary, at ^bJerusalem which is the ^cland of our forefathers, she being a ^dvirgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and ^econceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

 11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and ^aafflictions and^btemptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will ^ctake upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

 12 And he will take upon him ^adeath, that he may ^bloose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to ^csuccor his people according to their infirmities.

Samuel the Lamanite

"Samuel the Lamanite on the Wall" 

http://www.lds.org/media-library/images/gospel-art/book-of-mormon?lang=eng#samuel-the-lamanite-39661

Helaman 14:1-3

(I think it's good to remind them of Helaman 13:1-4 as well: that "Samuel, a Lamanite, came into the land of Zarahemla and began to preach unto the people ... many days, repentance ... and they did cast him out ... the voice of the Lord (told him to) return again ... whatsoever things should come into his heart ... and it came to pass that they would not suffer that he should enter into the city; therefore he went and got upon the wall ...")

1 And now it came to pass that ^aSamuel, the Lamanite, did prophesy a great many more things which cannot be written.

 2 And behold, he said unto them: Behold, I give unto you a sign; for^afive years more cometh, and behold, then cometh the Son of God to redeem all those who shall believe on his name.

 3 And behold, this will I give unto you for a ^asign at the time of his coming; for behold, there shall be great lights in heaven, insomuch that in the night before he cometh there shall be no darkness, insomuch that it shall appear unto man as if it was day.
