Shauna Black shared this variation of preparing the Primary presentation using a question and answer format. The presentation itself is also presented as a Q&A, giving the children a chance to really show what they’ve learned during the year:
“Assign each class one of the monthly topics. Sometime before the program is to be presented, take a tape recorder into one or two of the classes each week. This is best done right after Singing and Sharing Time and before the teacher starts his/her lesson. We found that our ward library’s tape recorders worked best to pick up the children’s voices, and it helps to have everyone sit in a circle around the tape recorder. Start recording and ask the children the questions for their topic. You may need to prompt them to find the right answer, but try to get them to answer as much as they can by themselves. Later, type the answers as much in the children’s own words as possible and assign these speaking parts to the children who feel most comfortable with them. To perform the program, the theme can either be assigned as a speaking part, or simply displayed as a poster on an easel. The scripture should be given as a speaking part. The teacher’s questions can be read either by the class teacher, or by a member of the Primary Presidency. The introduction should be read or paraphrased by a member of the Primary Presidency.”
