Primary Quarterly Activities

[Jenny SmithParticipant]

Sorry I don’t have the answer to this question — I don’t have access to the Primary sections of the manual.

But there’s no reason that learning about Joseph Smith or the Book of Mormon should be boring! Take a look at the Primary Activities section for lots of great ideas, and you’re welcome to submit your own, too.

While I expect that Primary activities should have a gospel-centered theme (after all, the purpose of Primary is to help children grow in the gospel), I don’t think that means you have to stick to the same old format.

I know our unit has lots of fun activities — usually done in the “center” format, where teachers are assigned a small activity, like a craft or reading a scripture or acting out a story, and the children move from center to center. Often they acquire some sort of token to indicate they’ve completed a center — last fall the kids got a construction paper feather glued to a toothpick that they stuck in one of those marshmallow snowballs to make a turkey. (They had a little turkey head made out of construction paper, too.)

Good luck,
Jenny

Do we still hold the Primary Quarterly Activities? I have a copy of CHI Book 2 (1998), and there is no mention of quarterly activities in it for Primary. I can’t find any mention of them in a friend search from 1998 on either, and there is no mention of Quarterly Activities on the Church’s website either. Our ward still holds them, as have the other wards I have lived in.

Does anyone know if these meetings are still held, and if so, where the guidelines are for them?

I know this is an old thread…but I can’t see anything in the new handbook about primary quarterly activities either. Has anyone else wondered about this or have any insight?

As of the new handbook (2010) Quarterly Activities are eliminated. You can read the discussion on this here:

Scroll to the bottom for the Primary stuff.
