We started out the book of Acts with some excitement — or something like it. Some terrible weather rolled in to the area, resulting in changes to the student’s exam and class schedules. We had to cut out several days of class, but it didn’t hurt our reading schedule too much. January is always like this for us. I don’t know why we can’t start school three weeks earlier so…

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.
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.
We divided up the girls into 2 groups to race with each other They received the scripture reference then they had to read it out loud, run to the candy bowl, pick out the conversational heart that it best matched with, run back to the group and read the next scripture.
The first team to complete this game won a sticker- I am sure we could have found something better- but stickers are fun!
Afterwards we went into the kitchen to decorate cupcakes with hearts and candy sprinkles.
These girls are super fun!!
Here is the list of Scriptures we used- but you may have to find the scriptures that best match your hearts:
John 3:16

Downloaded from: http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com/2013/01/activity-valentines.html Cut out each of the hearts and tape each one to the bottom of a chair before the children come in. At the beginning of singing time, ask the children to check the bottoms of their chairs. One by one, have the children bring up their hearts and put them into a valentines box. As each heart goes into the box, discuss a gift that Heavenly Father has…

I made this image to go with a poster I am using throughout the Seminary year. I cut out a piece of red poster board in the shape of an apple. During the next few weeks I will have students write on post-it notes when they notice something during Acts that was a sign following those that believe in Christ. The purpose is to help them learn to recognize followers…
