A few months ago I shared this idea on Sugardoodle to celebrate the launch of her new website. But I never shared it on my blog, so today I am sharing my Personal Progress Jars idea with all of you.These jars would be a great gift to make for new Beehives or do this as a mutual activity. I did this as a mutual activity for the beehives and we had a great time.
Personal Progress Jars
My Personal Progress Experience cards
Ribbon and/or Fabric (to decorate the jar)
First, you will need to print out my ‘Personal Progress Experience Cards’. Most of the cards I have included are experiences that can be completed in one day. There are 23 cards total (6 pages)!
I also included a page of blank cards that you could use for girls that have completed a majority of their experiences. Just have the girls write the experiences that they need to complete on each of the cards.
Once you have printed the cards you will need to cut them out.
Next, I rolled each card up and then tied with curly ribbon.
After each experience card was rolled and tied I placed them in the jar along with some yummy treats.
You can leave your jar like that OR you can cut pieces of fabric to place on the lid of each jar.
I also tied a piece of ribbon around the jar and placed a ‘Personal Progress Jar’ tag on the front.
to create your very own Personal Progress Jar!
Have the girls place the jar by their beds or on a dresser. If they have some free time they can pick an experience out of the jar and complete it…and they can enjoy a yummy little treat from the jar as well. :)
I hope you enjoy my Personal Progress Jar as well as the YW in your ward.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

These are a couple very simple files you can use to help teach this lesson in January’s Come Follow Me YW curriculum. Our young women are using composition notebooks as classroom journals, and we will tape or staple the pages … Continue reading →

By [email protected] (Sheena Perron) Sometimes it is hard choosing your helpers during Sharing Time. Especially when you say, “I’m only going to pick children that are being reverent.” And then miraculously…everyone is super reverent! I also have a hard time because I have 3 children in Primary and I don’t want the others to think I am favoring my children (silly…I know, but that is just how I feel). So…

Sometimes it is hard choosing your helpers during Sharing Time. Especially when you say, “I’m only going to pick children that are being reverent.” And then miraculously…everyone is super reverent! I also have a hard time because I have 3 children in Primary and I don’t want the others to think I am favoring my children (silly…I know, but that is just how I feel).
So to solve these issues and to learn each child’s name we have decided to use ‘Helper Sticks’.
What do you think? I really like how they turned out.
Want to know how I made them? Keep on reading!
Supplies Needed:
– White Full Sheet Sticker Paper
(I found mine at my local Office Store, but you can also find it on Amazon).
-Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
– Scissors (I used my Silhouette to do the cutting)
– Marker
– Jar or Small Can
As I said above, I used my Silhouette Cutter to cut out my labels. I created the labels using the Silhouette software, printed them out onto the sticker paper and then had the machine cut them.
If you don’t have a Silhouette, no worries!
First you will need to create what you want your labels to look like OR
you can use the ones I created.
Click on the link below to download and print out my Popsicle Stick labels. They will look exactly like the ones pictured above, but the name box is blank. I did leave the ‘visitor’ one as is.
{There are 14 labels per sheet}
Once you have printed out all the labels that you need your next job will be to cut them out.Using scissors, cut around each label. Cut, Cut, Cut, until all labels are done.
Now, get your popsicle sticks and apply each of the stickers onto the sticks.
After each of the stickers are on the sticks get a marker and label each stick with each of the children’s names.
Finally, get a jar or a cute container and place your fun ‘Helper Sticks’ inside!We have 2 buckets for our Primary. We use one as a ‘Pick Me’ and then the other is for ‘Already Picked’. This helps us to know that everyone has had a turn. It may not happen in one week, but by having the 2 buckets we can know who was picked as a helper last week and be able to pick those that might not have helped.
Etsy ShopI have added my Sticker Labels to my Etsy shop. If you would like some ‘Helper Sticks’ but don’t want to cut out each label yourself, then visit my Etsy Shop. If you have any custom requests just leave me a message.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Sharing Time Idea from the 2015 Primary Outline
ENCOURAGE UNDERSTANDING: Post three pictures on the board: John Baptizing Jesus, Christ Appears to the Nephites, and The First Vision.
Divide the children into three groups, and give each group one of the following scriptures: Matthew 3:16–17; 3 Nephi 11:6–8; Joseph Smith—History 1:17. Have them discuss the scripture in their groups and then report to the rest of the children (1) the event, (2) what Heavenly Father said, and (3) how they would have felt if they had been there. Invite a child to read John 5:39. Explain that we can gain a testimony that Jesus Christ is the Son of God when we read the scriptures and pray.
Sharing Time Idea from Little LDS Ideas
{From The Friend; April 2003}
Who is Jesus Christ? People of many faiths know that He lived over 2,000 years ago. Many believe only that He was a great teacher who preached about loving and serving one another. But there is more.
Who is Jesus Christ? He asked the Apostles, “Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
“And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
“He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matt. 16:13–16.)
Before Primary, locate and hide in the Primary room three pictures: John Baptizing Jesus Christ (Matthew 3:16-17), Christ Appears to the Nephites (3 Nephi 11:6-8) , and The First Vision JSH 1:17).
Invite a child to find one of the pictures that is hidden in the room.
Read the scripture (listed above) aloud to the children. Once you have read the scripture ask them:
1. What is happening in the picture?
2. What did Heavenly Father Say?
3. How would you feel if you had been there?
After all the picture have been found and each of the scriptures have been found read John 5:39 aloud. Explain to the children that we can gain a testimony of Jesus Christ when we read the scriptures and pray.
Follow the idea above, but once a picture is found, have the child post it and read the scripture aloud. Have the child imagine he or she was one of the people in the picture with the Savior or someone who was witnessing the event from “out of camera range.” Using a simple prop as a microphone, interview the child-witness. Ask questions like “Can you describe what you saw?” “What did Heavenly Father say?” “How did you feel if you had been there?” “What difference does this make in your life?”
Once you have finished ‘interviewing’ the child have them sit down and then invite another child to come to the front to find another picture. Continue until all pictures have been found.
This would work best for Sr. Primary. Have the 3 pictures posted on a board at the front of the Primary Room.
Divide the children into three groups, and give each group one of the following scriptures: Matthew 3:16–17; 3 Nephi 11:6–8; Joseph Smith—History 1:17.
The groups will read the scripture together and then come up with a few clues and answer the following questions. Clues could include: things that took place during that event, people that were there, etc.
example: This even took place at the River Jordan, John the Baptist was there, etc.
Have one child in the group write down their clues. Then have the children answer these questions:
(1) the event, (2) what Heavenly Father said, and (3) how they would have felt if they had been there.
Invite the first group up. Have one child read each clue aloud. The rest of the Primary children will be listening to the clues to try and guess what picture it belongs to. Once a child knows which picture it belongs to have them raise their hand or stand up.
Invite the child to come up and pick which picture he or she thinks the group is describing. Once the picture is guessed correctly invite the group to share some of their answers to the remaining questions. After the group has shared their answers invite the next group up.
Explain to the children that by reading the scriptures and praying we can gain a testimony of Jesus Christ and know who He is.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day & a great Sharing Time.

I recently was in a class and watched a teacher do a very ‘teacher-like’ thing: he made a list on the white board. He had the students read a passage, then went back with them to pick out certain things from the passage that answered a question he had …

I think the picture says it all! Four colors of Play Doh helped turn the standard Plan of Salvation lesson into a multi-media experience. The class I was teaching at the time was 10 years old, so they already knew the lesson. We reviewed the basics (and I gave them each one of Courtney Aitken’s […]

My husband is teaching Gospel Doctrine right now. This year the course of study is the New Testament. I’ve been thinking that I’d like to design a scripture reading chart for that class. So I created one in black and white, easy to photocopy. I must mention that I leaned on the scripture charts created […]
