[Primary Spotlight Questions]

[tree of life poster]

(See the previous post.) 

Another Lemonite image. Good for cupcake toppers, for example.

I also made this tree of life poster and printed it size 20 x 30". When the Primary children give talks, they will write their name on the fruit and stick it on the tree. (Yes, it should be white but I couldn't find a white tree image to use.)

 

[Defeat the Lemonites Primary activity]

 

As I was browsing for ideas for our Book of Mormon theme Primary activity, somewhere I saw the idea of Lemonites (Lamanites). The first image can be used for the invite. Here are some ideas we have so far for our activity:

Print large Lemonites on cardstock. Tape to the gym floor (with painters' tape, of course) and cover with a clear plastic tablecloth. Use beanbags to "defeat the Lemonites (if you land the beanbag on the lemon).

We are making Nephi's bow and arrows using q-tips and small elastics. We will tape Lemonites on the wall and the children can try to shoot at them. The tutorial can be found here:

q-tip bow and arrow

We are going to have some sort of sword fighting activity as well using pool noodles as swords.

Of course you'll have to serve lemonade and other lemon related treats.

[treat ticket]

 

I got a new calling - Primary secretary. I'm excited. I have always loved Primary. 

I made these Birthday treat tickets. The child's name goes on the dotted line and they have a chance to get used to visiting with the bishop.

I also made assignment bracelets:

I'm going to get some cute stickers so that these can easily be wrapped on the children's wrists. 

[get to know you page]

I made this for our Activity Days girls as we are starting a new season and there are new girls to get to know. I'm having the girls fill these out, then I'm taking a photo of them and attaching it to their page (see the space under the bird, that's for their photo). I will then copy everyone's page for each girl to keep. 

This is a JPG file. To use it, just click on the photo to enlarge it, then right click the photo and save it as a JPG file into your computer. You can then import the photo into Microsoft Word and print it out. Or you can right click it, click "copy" and then "paste" it into Microsoft Word and print it. 

Can be used for any Primary class.

[study aids for children]

I have been trying to decide how to teach the Gospel to our daughter so it's fun and she will understand all the basics. I finally decided what to do. I'm going to use the "Preach My Gospel" manual and make fun study pages for her. Here is the first one I made. It goes along pages 31 and 32. 

I'll continue to share these as I make more.

To use the study page, just click on the image and a larger version of it will open up. Right click the picture. Either "copy" and "paste" the picture onto a Microsoft Word document or save the picture as a JPG file in your computer and then import it to Microsoft Word.

[general conference for kids]

Some fun things to do with children before General Conference:

 Don't Eat the Prophet! game & Prophets Memory Game

We just did these games in Activity Days and the girls loved it! Especially the "Don't Eat the Prophet!" game because it involved candy.

The girls also loved this coloring page:

[handout for the "smiles" song]

I made this handout for this Primary lesson titled "Blessed Are The Peacemakers".

Click here to hear the song played.

{FHE: forgiveness}

I made this for this Primary lesson. Feel free to use it. Click on the picture to see it larger.

{FHE - worshiping at church}

 I made this image for my Primary lesson: Primary book #3, Choose the Right B, ages 4-7, lesson #40

The illustration can also be used for FHE. Talk about Sunday worship and the four ways to worship (listen, sing, pray, sacrament). Put the star in a gift bag and give everyone an opportunity to pull the star out of the bag. They are then to answer the question about the word on the point of the star they are holding.

listen: Who are some people we should listen to at church?

sing: Name one song you like to sing at church.

pray: Name one time we offer a prayer at church.

sacrament: Name one thing you can do during the sacrament.

The children can color this scripture and draw a picture of their family singing in the church.
