This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.
Can I show videos in live classes?
Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.
Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.
The video should make up only a small portion of the live class.

Lesson Slide
Main Teaching Points
Teach about how we use land now
- Jehovah gave the earth and it’s land to humans.
- We use it to give us all the things that we need to live and survive.
- Some things we get from on top of the land. We farm plants and vegetables, which grow on top of the land.
- Some things we mine, or dig, under the earth to get out of the land. Valuable minerals like silver, iron and copper are some things that people dig into the earth to get.
- We use the earth to raise animals. Farmers use the land to raise cows that give us milk.
- Forests grow on and out of the land. We use the trees in the forest to get wood. We use the wood to make things!
Teach about how people misuse land
- Jehovah gave us the earth as a gift and he wants us to show respect for the land and to be responsible with it. We can be responsible by taking care of the earth and it’s land and the things that live on the land.
- Because we are not in the paradise yet, many people do not think of the earth as a gift from Jehovah. So they do not take care of it and the pollute it.
Teach about how we’ll use land in the future
- Jehovah knew that people would not take care of the Earth in the last days. So he made a promise. He said that he would fix the bad things that people have done to the earth and would let the good people who serve him live on it.
