The Fall was Part of Gods Plan

2 Nephi 2:25 Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy. Today we are going to learn about Adam & Eves Fall how it is part of the great plan of happiness. We get to play the game Jenga together. Lets try to see how tall we can make our tower of Jenga blocks but its ok if it falls because its part of the plan, the way the game works! (A child can come up and pick a block with each item discussed.) Show pic of Adam & Eve and discuss who they are. (The first people to come to earth and get a body.) Where were they before they came to Earth? (In the Garden of Eden) What was life like in the Garden? (no death, no family/children, no sickness, no work, no pain, walk & talk with God, animals lived in peace, no growth, no change, no good, no joy) God commanded them not to eat the fruit of knowledge, but they did. Because they broke that commandment, they had to leave the Garden. This is called The Fall. What was life like outside the Garden? (death/pain, separation from God, children and families, misery/joy, growth, change, progression, learning, sin/goodness) Have a child move the children picture to the Earth circle now that Adam and Eve have left the Garden of Eden, we were all able to come to Earth. DISCUSS BLESSINGS WE HAVE BECAUSE OF THE FALL:
Name that Tune let kids pick numbers that have pictures on the back of each of these blessings. (I used Hatch Patch Creations pictures.)
