Downloaded from: http://inkablinka.com/2013/02/stand-in-holy-places-program.html I’ve got a couple more goodies for anyone working on a Stand in Holy Places New Beginnings program. Above is the cover we are using for our program. Below are the food labels we will have at our refreshment table. They are formatted so you can print on carstock, cut vertically down the paper, then fold in half so it will stand on its own. You can…

Nt- Overview Of Acts

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/02/nt-overview-of-acts.html I  got this idea from Creative ways to teach the New Testament by Victor W. Harris. I found the book in the seminary closet. Not sure how long it has been in there, but I am grateful to have it for a resource. Today we did an overview of the Book of Acts. Using the graph below, they were to read the chapter headings. Then draw of…

Holy Ghost Insert Link

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/02/holy-ghost-insert-link.html While I am overjoyed with so many of you asking for the Scripture insert on the Holy Ghost, I have become overwhelmed with trying to email all of you with the document. In doing a little research, I think that a google doc might be the answer. I hope that this link will work for you.  Enjoy!  Thought this was fun! It goes along with our Camel Race Scripture…

Create Your Own Song Singing Time Idea

Downloaded from: http://aprimarysingingtime.blogspot.com/2013/02/create-your-own-song-singing-time-idea.html Our awesome pianist (and my AMAZING friend) Michelle gave me this great idea: – Get a long piece of white paper (like butcher paper size).  Draw the lines of the staff on it and the Treble Cleff (like below, but wider). – Cut out a variety of large notes from black construction paper – half notes, whole notes, quarter notes, etc. – Laminate all. Then, as part of…

Nt-Mid Term

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/02/nt-mid-term.html Now don’t let the title worry you! I did not have them take a mid term test. Although a few of my students were sweating over the thought! After finishing up the four gospels, I felt like we needed to have a way to reinforce some of the things we had learned. Plus, several of them were not there for each and every lesson. I found this…

Nt-Scripture Reading

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/02/nt-scripture-reading.html My class decided they wanted some sort of poster to record their reading of the New Testament. After attending the monthly CES training, for seminary/institute teachers, and brain storming with fellow teachers, this is what I came up with.Camel Races!!I enlisted the help of two of my children and they came up with this on the board…I then went online and googled images of camels.

We All Have Different Talents and Abilities

Singing and Sharing
Developing Talents

I am Serving in my Ward as the Activity Day Leader, but this as well as other post I have can certainly be used for FHE, YW, YM, and just plain for fun.  I just hope that this will help someone else to magnify your callings too.

I found a lesson in Gospel Principles Manual that was going to be perfect for us to help teach the idea about how developing our talents will serve our Heavenly Father.
We began our activity by teaching the principle of “Developing Talents” by discussing the following taken from the Gospel Principles Manual:


We all have special gifts, talents, and abilities given to us by our Heavenly Father. When we were born, we brought these gifts, talents, and abilities with us.

The prophet Moses was a great leader, but he needed Aaron, his brother, to help as a spokesman (Exodus 4:14–16). Some of us are leaders like Moses or good speakers like Aaron. Some of us can sing well or play an instrument. Others of us may be good in sports or able to work well with our hands. Other talents we might have are understanding others, patience, cheerfulness, or the ability to teach others.

We have a responsibility to develop the talents we have been given. Sometimes we think we do not have many talents or that other people have been blessed with more abilities than we possess. Sometimes we do not use our talents because we are afraid that we might fail or be criticized by others. We should not hide our talents. We should use them. Then others can see our good works and glorify our Heavenly Father (see Matthew 5:16).  


We also Talked about how we should appreciate other peoples talents, and how we can develop our own talents by learning from others.

Here was a cute Matt and Mandy Developing Talents Episode we shared in class.

When we use our talents we are promised blessings- we will have an increase in our talents, and be blessed.

I found this fun video on you tube and showed it to my group… Its about two missionaries that share their talents and the gospel.  It teaches that all our talents that we have or are developing, that we must use them to build up the kingdom of God.  To share our talents, to use our gifts to share the gospel and to bring people unto Christ.


We called the Primary Chorister to ask her if our Activities Day group could help her plan and teach a song to the Primary during singing time.  She was so willing to participate.

We chose to learn the ASL to Families can be Together Forever.



Families can be Together Forever
(I posted it the WMP and the MP4  …but it is also available for you to download from the above link- look to the right side and  you will find the link to download the ASL version- 
I really like this version best.) 



For some reason I could not view either on my iPad… so if you are still needing another version (American Sign language)- you should chose which works the best for your tablet, computer, group or family.  

Now we plan to teach it to our Senior and Junior Primary group.  It will be a lot of work but the girls seem to like a fun challenge. We will do this till they have their Primary Program later this year.


During our after school activity class time (if that’s what you want to call it) we will work on learning the sign language, make a little chart to help us remember what signs come when and then practice and practice. 

I hope you have fun with this- 

Palm Sunday

Downloaded from: http://seminaryatsixam.blogspot.com/2013/02/palm-sunday.html As my students entered the building, they were greeted by a path lined with palm leaves. This set the stage for us to discuss Holy Week, the final week of the Savior’s life, starting with Palm Sunday and the Triumphal Entry. There was also a palm branch at the seat of each student and I discussed how in many faiths, on Palm Sunday, palms are distributed to the…

Names And Titles Of Jesus Christ

Downloaded from: http://seminaryatsixam.blogspot.com/2013/02/names-and-titles-of-jesus-christ.html Our Names and Titles of Jesus Christ poster   is filling up, however, it is getting harder for the students to find something that has not already been listed. To help them filling up the poster board with names, I have been using the simple technique of word scramble. It has stimulated more research on names and titles. In case you are wondering what the answers to are:AMENCHOSEN OF…
