Coloring pages: I have three options for you. I have some extra ideas for these two pages. The first can be colored and cut into puzzle pieces. Hide around the room. Let your kids find them and work together to put the pieces together. You can also make one for each person so they can have their now puzzle. The second page is a fill in the blank coloring page. Help your kids answer the question "I can show love by..." and write their answers in the hearts. The third page is just a regular coloring page :)
Sing or watch this video of the song "Love One Another."
This would be a great activity to start the week! Letter Hunt: I hope this activity will help the children see that Jesus served others throughout his life.
Story Cards-in last years primary manual there was a story
about Joseph Fielding Smith serving his mom.
I included the story and some cute story cards. Print the cards and cut apart.
Service Go Fish or matching game: Each picture corresponds
with a question or scenario. In both
games when the full set of matches are found ask the question that goes with
the card. For the match game print 2 of
each page on cardstock. Take turns finding
a match. Go fish will take a little more
time to play but it will be something fun and new. You will need to print 4 of each page on
cardstock. The instruction are in the
download in case you need a refresher.
*If you are short on time OR have young kids print 2 instead of 4 sets
for the go fish game. I played this with
my class last year and they loved it! I
look forward to pulling out this week and playing with my kids.
"super server" cards: Print and let your kids color and pass out as they serve (or
leave anonymously). Let them know as
they serve others they are like a super hero to the person they help. There is a boy and a girl option with 4 cards
per sheet. These are black and white and
made to be colored. Print one page per
child. My 5 year old helped me color
these samples on the computer-I think she did pretty good!
I love this video clip . It from the Church's Light the World
initiative. Its a pretty amazing way to
show the Saviors examples of service next to ways we can serve like him.
I also love this video clip called Dayton's Legs. Another great video about service.
Holy Ghost Match Game: I will admit I have camping activities swirling through my head and as a result we are playing a camping themed game to learn more about the Holy Ghost. Its a fun matching game using camping supplies to learn ways the Holy Ghost helps us. Lets fill our backpack with these tools so we can recognize the Holy Ghosts presences in our life. Print the 3 pages on cardstock or back with construction paper. Mix the cards up and play like a regular match game EXCEPT if you pick an animal card your turn is over. You don't want to take any animals home in your bag! Pull the animal card out and the next player tries to find a match. Once a match of camping supplies is found think of a way it relates to the Holy Ghost. See if you can find all 6 matches before all of the animals are found! How fun would it be to finish the night with smores!
(UPDATE: I've added an extra page to include a flashlight and some more animals if you want to use them. It came as a request and she plans to use it to teach that the Holy Ghost can be like a light to guide us)
As always if you have any questions or trouble with the download please let me know.
Thanks so much again! I love your website!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteThese look great and so much fun! You are awesome - thank you for sharing all your ideas and for creating such great printables!
ReplyDeleteThank you and I'm happy you like them :)
DeleteThanks for making this awesome website to help kids learn the Come Follow Me lessons. I have a horrible time coming up with ideas for lessons and have terrible stage fright. Your lessons are so creative and fun it doesn’t feel like I’m working hard to prepare and can focus more on what’s important about the lessons.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm so happy I can help:)
DeleteThank you so much for the free printables!!
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome:) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThank you Crystal! You mention a video above that doesn't have a link (The one from Light The World), would you be able to include the link please! Love your page!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about that! I just updated both videos with a link. Thanks for letting me know :)
DeleteI found your site a couple of months ago, I've used several of your ideas and visuals. The kids loved the animals and camp visuals representing the purpose and role of the Holy Ghost. They took turns turning over one of the pictures, then leaving it on the board if it wasn't something we would take camping or put it in the backpack if it was. We had a very interactive discussion about the Holy Spirit. At the end of the class, each child picked one of the cute animal pictures to take home. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas and talents with primary teachers. -Tracy
