June's song is one of my favorites - "When I Am Baptized".  To introduce it, I'd really like to use a powerful object lesson that will hit home to them.  Here are a couple of ideas I've found.  I will add more as I settle on something over the next week or two! 1. My favorite so far is from Susan Fitch Design HERE: Laminate a picture of a child.  As you talk about sins or mistakes, add chocolate

For Father's Day we will be playing 'pin the tie on the Dad'. Each tie (they will be around the room on the walls) will have questions on the back, along with a song.  Kids will be chosen to be blindfolded (with a tie, of course) and will try to pin the tie on this laminated guy:     Anyone happen to have the original source for this artwork?  I saved them ages ago and said they were

A darling idea for teaching this theme can be found here.  Why reinvent the wheel???  A PDF for a piggy bank is provided but if you do not want to make it, you can always use a real one.  Assign songs for practice to 9 quarters.  Invite a child to drop a quarter into the bank & then sing the corresponding song. Keep the tenth quarter out so you can talk about giving the Lord one tenth (put in a tithing envelope).  Bear your testimony of the blessings that are received from paying a full tithe.

June is all about preparing for BAPTISM.  I thought it would be fun to discuss baptism/review baptismal covenants by discussing possible baptismal/temple recommend interview questions (idea HERE). STEP 1:  Get a picture of your BISHOP, crop so that only his head and neck are showing, then PRINT. STEP 2: CUT out the head/neck of the picture, PASTE onto poster board, and then DRAW a suit and tie

This idea is courtesy of www.iheartprimarymusic.blogspot.com.  I drew my own.  Have the children pick pieces and assemble the mother.  For each piece, read the poem and sing a song.
