Content: Lesson from the Life of Samson bible story- Samson’s mother did not think she would be able to have
children, but then an angel of the Lord appeared to her and told her that she would have a son and he would be
dedicated to God as a Nazarite. Nazarites vowed not to cut their hair or drink wine. God granted Samson
amazing physical strength because of these vows. Samson had one weakness: he was very attracted to Philistine
women. The Philistines worshipped other gods. They were the Israelite’s enemies and ruled over them at the
time. His first attempted to marry a Philistine woman failed because she betrayed him before they were married.
He then fell in love with Delilah. The Philistines convinced her to trick Samson into telling her the source of his
great strength. After a few tries she got him to tell her that his long hair was the source of his strength. While he
slept, Delilah cut off his hair leaving him helpless to an attack from the Philistines. They tied Samson’s arms to
two great pillars in their temple so they could laugh at him. Samson called out to the Lord to restore his
strength. The Lord answered and Samson broke down the temple killing the Philistines and sacrificing himself
as well.
Introduction: Invite them to echo the prayer of Samson (Judges 16:28) and pray. Lord God,
Remember me and strengthen me only this once. Amen.
Procedures: Ask for a volunteer to demonstrate how to flex his or her arm muscles. Let the whole class try it to
see if they can feel their own muscles. You may want to let two children arm wrestle or pull sticks (a
game Joseph Smith enjoyed). To pull sticks, have two boys sit on the floor facing each other, legs extended,
knees bent, and the soles of their feet touching. Have each boy grasp the same large stick and try to pull the
other up until he is standing on his feet.
Read the bible story/ have students watch the video and listen carefully. Questions will be asked during and
after the story. Use questions at different levels to help children summarize the bible story events. i.e. Samson
had great physical strength, but what was his greatest weakness? What are your strengths and weaknesses? How
can you thank God for your strengths and helping you in times of weakness?
Hand out pictures of Samson and the pillars for children to color.
Closure: Invite them to echo the prayer of Samson (Judges 16:28) and pray. Share your feelings about the
importance of developing spiritual strength and living so that we can someday return to be with Heavenly
Father and Jesus Christ.

Students can tell what they see from an object.
Objectives: with the use of the map of Belize, students will be able to:
Ask and specify where someone lives in Belize
Formulate oral statements of their address
Create an illustration of their house and street (living area)
Content: An important question uses the question word dónde or "where." I asked either to make small talk and
give you an idea of where the other person lives or because you are going to their place.
‘¿Dónde vives?’ translates to ‘Where do you live?’ in English. Let’s break it down: ● ‘Dónde’ means ‘where’
‘Vives’ is the second person singular conjugation (‘tú’ = ‘you’) of the verb ‘vivir’ (‘to live’)
All questions in Spanish require two question marks: ‘¿’ + question + ‘?’ A literal translation of ‘where do you
live?’ would be ‘¿dónde vives tú?’ but Spanish speakers normally omit the pronoun 'tú’ because the conjugated
verb ‘vives’ (did you spot that telltale ‘es' ending?) already makes it clear exactly who they're referring to.
Example Ask: ¿Dónde vives? - Where do you live?
Skills: students will be:
Practicing using asking questions with donde?
Asking and responding to questions about where they live. Locating Belize on the Map of the world naming

Content: An important question uses the question word dónde or "where." I asked either to make small talk and
give you an idea of where the other person lives or because you are going to their place.
‘¿Dónde vives?’ translates to ‘Where do you live?’ in English. Let’s break it down: ● ‘Dónde’ means ‘where’
‘Vives’ is the second person singular conjugation (‘tú’ = ‘you’) of the verb ‘vivir’ (‘to live’)
All questions in Spanish require two question marks: ‘¿’ + question + ‘?’ A literal translation of ‘where do you
live?’ would be ‘¿dónde vives tú?’ but Spanish speakers normally omit the pronoun 'tú’ because the conjugated
verb ‘vives’ (did you spot that telltale ‘es' ending?) already makes it clear exactly who they're referring to.
Example Ask: ¿Dónde vives? - Where do you live?
Skills: students will be:
Practicing using asking questions with donde?
Asking and responding to questions about where they live. Locating Belize on the Map of the world naming
