I had us all sit in a circle so we'd be ready for the activity portion of the lesson. (which was a huge challenge for some reason. The kids were super hyper tonight!)
I started off by reviewing the first four articles of faith. (I quickly recited them from memory) and then while I recited the 5th article of faith, I had them repeat after me. Then I went through the words slowly and tried to explain each phrase, or words that they wouldn't know. We talked a bit about the priesthood, and if they knew any ordinances- giving hints to get them to think of baptism and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost (as mentioned in the 4th article of faith).
I asked them if they knew of anyone who was "called of God" i.e. was God's helper. My 4-year old said Jesus, and then sort of led him to think of the prophet. Finally, I said we can all be His helpers and every adult usually has some sort of calling at church, and we told our kids what our callings were.
Then I said, we don't get to choose who is called or what we are called for, God does that, and I taught them how to play "duck, duck, goose" because we take turns getting chosen.
Not sure how much they got out of it- as I mentioned earlier, they were sooooo hyper. They loved playing duck, duck, goose though :)
