Read through the story of Alma baptizing in Mosiah 18:7-16
Get the activity from the March 2000 Friend. Discuss the different covenants your kids will make or have made with being baptized. You can make the mobile or tape them on a piece of paper after you discuss them. 
Give each kid a copy of the Baptism certificate. Help them fill it out. If they haven’t been baptized, help them hang it somewhere they will see it to remind them of the covenants they are preparing to make. If they have been baptized, hang it up as a reminder of the covenants they have already entered into and are striving to keep.
Last week we learned about the commandments. Review the commandments that you are striving to keep.
