The basic components include daily prayer, regular scripture study, and memorizing the Articles of Faith. There are categories in which two goals need to be completed each year.
The first category is Learning and Living the Gospel. Goals for this category include teaching a family home evening lesson, reading a conference talk and applying it to their lives and preparing a family pedigree chart.
The second category is Serving Others. To complete this category, your child could complete a service project, plan and prepare a meal, and plan an activity for others to participate in.
The third category is Developing Talents. Goals for this category include learning about budgeting, learning a song (either playing it on the piano or singing it) from "The Children's Songbook," writing a story or a poem and making a craft.
The final category is Preparing for Young Men's (for the boys) or Preparing for Young Women's (for the girls). To complete this category, your child will need to read specific scriptures which will be listed in the guidebook and discuss them with a leader, talk to a member of the Deacon Quorum presidency (boys) or the Beehive class presidency (girls), and to talk to a leader or you about the new program they will be entering.

All Faith in God teachers should have a plan for the coming year with all activities loosely scheduled. The purpose of the activities is to help the primary children achieve their Faith In God requirements. Mountfort Ward have graciously provided a sample of their calendar, covering February to May 2012.
