Do you know a child who is preparing to go to the temple for the first time to perform baptisms for the dead? “Preparing to Do Baptisms for the Dead” on page 7 can help children understand what they can do to prepare to enter the temple and what they can expect to happen when they are there.

“Be a Family Builder” on page 24–25 helps children understand that in addition to striving for happiness in the home, they can also build relationships with members of their ward and extended families. They also can prepare themselves now for the future families they will create.
