We’ve played GPS egg hunt for the last couple of years and everyone loves it! You need several GPS units, cars, drivers, and Easter eggs. First, someone has to set up the route and record the GPS locations to give to each group (this part can be done well ahead of time). If done at the same time as the activity, hide the eggs while setting up the route. If done well before the acitivity, go back over the route to the hide the eggs before the activity begins. We hide as many eggs in the total group in each location. Each person finds 1 egg per location. Then divide into smaller groups, each with their own GPS unit, car, driver and GPS locations. It’s fun to mix it up so the whole group isn’t going to the same location and following one another. Have them start out in different locations and go through the locations in a different order. It is recommended that you do this in a secluded location or your eggs may get moved or taken. One alternate is to use homes within the ward/stake. If the boundaries are close enough it would eliminate the need for cars…

I found the following link on the lds.org website
http://lds.org/service/serving-in-the-church/primary/for-parents-and-primary-leaders?lang=eng
they did omit ” help with an activity” as quarterly activities are not held anymore. They replaced it with: Page 9 bullet 7: Read the twelfth article of faith. Discuss what it means to be a good citizen and how your actions can affect others.

my mom used to play egg hockey with us for FHE. We used a stuffed egg and brooms. just the cheap straw ones and there was a clothing basket at either end of a small court (usually out in the yard) It was a lot of fun!

I do not see the contract any where on this page. Am I missing something? I would sure love to use it for camp this year!

Thanks for the advice Jenny. I really appreciate it! In our high school we had a DRC (Disability Resource Centre) and here they provided a number of staff to help the less physically able to learn the same things as the rest of the year, but away from the classroom.

We have a member or two of the Presidency stand in the hall. The Senior Primary kids go to the bathroom and get a drink and then they line up against a wall outside of the Primary room. They all know what to expect and where to go and are fairly reverent. When Junior Primary is over they go out one door and Senior goes in the other. Junior Primary teachers then take their kids to the restroom & get a drink & then head to their class.

I know that when I served in Primary, I felt left out. I talked to the RS President and she started coming in to opening exercises and sharing the announcements and handouts. She would only take a few minutes and that really helped us as primary workers feel like we were a bigger part of RS. Our RS president also send out email announcements which is very helpful. I hope this helps you.

We have our kids pass off their articles of faith during this time with a couple members of the Primary Presidency and their teachers. For the young ones it’s also time for a potty break.

The article can be found on the church web page – it was a story in the March 1981 friend titled “The Comforter” by Laura Dene Card. I hope this is the one you’re looking for – enjoy the sweetness of a Baptism

The Comforter
By Laura Dene CardLaura Dene Card, “The Comforter,” Friend, Mar. 1981, 32–33
Jenni Lynn was still worried about yesterday’s Primary lesson. Carefully shutting her bedroom door, she pulled her thinking chair out of the corner and sat down to give some thought to what she had learned in Primary. Jenni Lynn was seven years old, and Sister Hendley, her teacher, had told the children about baptism and confirmation. Sister Hendley said that every person who was confirmed a member of the Church received the gift of the Holy Ghost.Jenni Lynn was afraid of ghosts. When her friends told ghost stories, she plugged her ears. When scary shows came on television, she ran into her bedroom and shut the door. Shawn, her big brother, and Lisa, her big sister, laughed at Jenni Lynn and called her a scaredy-cat. She didn’t like their teasing, but still she was afraid of ghosts.
She wanted to be baptized and to become a member of the Church. But I don’t want to have a ghost around, Jenni Lynn worried. In two more months I’ll be eight. What can I do?
At dinner Jenni Lynn watched Shawn and Lisa. She watched Mother and Daddy too. They had all been baptized and confirmed. They all had the gift of the Holy Ghost. But they didn’t act as though they were scared. She was the only one. Maybe I shouldn’t be afraid either, she reasoned.
The telephone rang, interrupting Jenni Lynn’s thoughts.
After Dad had answered the telephone, he said, “Grandma is coming a day early. I have to go to the airport after dinner and pick her up.”
“Oh, my,” said Mother. “I’m going to need some help getting everything ready.”
“We’ll help!” the children said, jumping up from the table.
Shawn helped clear the table. Lisa didn’t complain once as she did the dishes. Jenni Lynn helped Mother get Grandma’s room ready. She dusted the dresser and helped Mother put pretty flowered sheets on the bed.
“Grandma will need a blanket, too,” said Mother. “Jenni Lynn, will you please go get the comforter out of the cedar closet.”
Jenni Lynn ran into her parents’ bedroom. She started to open the cedar closet and stopped. Sister Hendley had said that another name for the Holy Ghost is the Comforter. What if a ghost were in the closet? She turned and ran back to her mother. Trying not to look frightened, she asked, “What’s a comforter?”
“It’s a soft, fluffy quilt,” Mother answered as she opened the dresser drawers to see if they were clean.
“Why is it called a comforter?” Jenni Lynn asked.
“Because it’s warm and soft. When you wrap it around you it makes you feel safe and good inside,” Mother explained.
Jenni Lynn sighed with relief. There wasn’t a ghost after all. She ran back to the bedroom, opened the door to the cedar closet, and lifted down a beautiful pink satin comforter. It was shiny and slippery to touch. Then she sat on the bed and pulled the comforter around her and over her head until there was only a hole big enough to peek through.
Mother was right, thought Jenni Lynn inside her comforter cave. I feel warm and safe in here. She sat still for a long time because it felt so good.
“Hurry, dear,” said Mother, coming into the room. When she saw her daughter, she asked, “What are you doing all wrapped up in that comforter?”
Jenni Lynn peeked out. “It feels good, Mother,” she said. “Just like when you hold me on your lap.”
“Does it, little one?” smiled Mother as she sat on the bed and cuddled Jenni Lynn close.
“Mother, why do they call the Holy Ghost the Comforter?” asked Jenni Lynn.
“Because He’s a special friend. He comforts you. That means He makes you feel warm and safe and helps you solve your problems,” answered Mother.
“Just like this comforter makes me feel warm and safe; right, Mother?” asked Jenni Lynn.
“Almost,” said Mother. “Except He’s a real person.”
Jenni Lynn snuggled closer to her mother and said, “But I thought that He was a scary ghost. I was afraid of Him.”
Mother laughed. “You and your ghosts! Well, He’s not that kind of ghost. The Holy Ghost is just a name that shows He is a spirit without a body. He loves us and Jesus sent Him to help us. Now why don’t you help me put that satin comforter on Grandma’s bed?”
Jenni Lynn jumped off the bed and helped Mother gather up the comforter in her arms. Just as they reached the door, she looked up at Mother and said, “Know what? I can hardly wait until I have the Holy Ghost for my friend.”
