-History: The Garden of Eden and The Fall
Lesson Plan:
Let's review The Creation: Creation Review Video
   *What happened during the 6th period of the Creation? (God created Adam and Eve and placed them in the Garden of Eden)
   *What do you imagine the Garden of Eden was like?
   *What were the commandments God gave Adam and Eve when he placed them in the Garden of Eden? (Multiply and replenish the earth, Don't eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Stay together!)
   *Did Adam and Eve obey the Lord's commands?  What commandment did they break?  Why?
Let's read: Moses 4, Genesis 2-3 (select verses)
   *What happened to Adam and Eve because they ate the fruit?  (They were cast out of the Garden of Eden, they would sin because they knew good from evil, they would die.)
The scriptures tell us that this was a good thing.
2 Nephi 2:19 
They needed to Fall so that they could have children.  Because they partook of the fruit, as Heavenly Father knew they would, we were able to be born, to have a physical body, to go through the trials of finding food and raising children ourselves, and learning to choose right from wrong.  These things brought them happiness even though they were hard.

We call what Adam and Eve did "The Fall" because they fell out of the presence of the Lord.  Here is a video that illustrates this: The Fall Brought us a Savior Video

Here is a good way to remember what "The Fall" means.  This is an illustration given by President Joseph Fielding Smith (summarize if needed):
     "The Son of God [said]: “I’ll go down and pay the price. I’ll be the Redeemer and redeem men from Adam’s transgression. I’ll take upon me the sins of the world and redeem or save every soul from his own sins who will repent.”¹²

Let us illustrate: A man walking along the road happens to fall into a pit so deep and dark that he cannot climb to the surface and regain his freedom. How can he save himself from his predicament? Not by any exertions on his own part, for there is no means of escape in the pit. He calls for help, and some kindly disposed soul, hearing his cries for relief, hastens to his assistance and by lowering a ladder, gives to him the means by which he may climb again to the surface of the earth. This was precisely the condition that Adam placed himself and his posterity in, when he partook of the forbidden fruit. All being together in the pit, none could gain the surface and relieve the others. The pit was banishment from the presence of the Lord and temporal death, the dissolution of the body. And all being subject to death, none could provide the means of escape.¹³

The Savior comes along, not subject to that pit, and lowers the ladder. He comes down into the pit and makes it possible for us to use the ladder to escape.¹⁴

In his infinite mercy, the Father heard the cries of his children and sent his Only Begotten Son, who was not subject to death nor to sin, to provide the means of escape. This he did through his infinite atonement and the everlasting gospel."¹⁵

When Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden, it was the start of human history on the Earth.  We praise Adam and Eve for their part in Heavenly Father's Plan of Salvation.  We needed them to fall for the plan to work for us.

Color a picture of Adam and Eve leaving the Garden of Eden and put it on our timeline.
