I Will Obey
A Little Something for You:
President Thomas S. Monson gave a talk in the April 2013 General Conference titled Obedience Brings Blessings teaching us that "A knowledge of truth and the answers to our greatest questions come to us as we are obedient to the commandments of God."

Lesson Ideas:
Study the lesson in you manual or find it here
Remember the purpose of the lesson is that obedience leads to happiness. Emphasize that when we are obedient it makes us, our parents, and our Heavenly Father happy. We want to help them understand that obedience is doing the things that our parents and our Heavenly Father ask us to do. So give examples such as "When your mom asks you to pick up your toys you can be obedient by cleaning up the first time she asks." You can also give examples of the things that Heavenly Father has asked us to do like doing nice things for others and sharing our toys.
Another way to show how we can obey is through role play. As you give the examples of things they might be asked to do you can all act out the things like you are doing them. Or if you want you could use puppets or dolls instead of role playing and show how the mom or dad might ask and have the child doll show how to obey.
Make sure that you are praising the children for listening and doing what you ask through out the day as this can reiterate what you are teaching. It's important to remember to give specific compliments so instead of saying "good job" say "thank you for listening" or "thank you for helping us clean up."
Transition Song
Here is a fun song that some of you may already know called Tiny Tim. I couldn't find a good version of it on YouTube so I made one but only because I love you!
