He that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise (Prov. 12:15). Throughout my life, I have received “golden nuggets” of counsel and inspiration from the people around me. Some of those nuggets came from Primary teachers. I was a rambunctious (lively and somewhat mischievous) child who spent many hours sitting outside the classroom door in the time-out spot. More than a few times, my teachers went to my mother, the stake Primary…

Adapted from Scripture Stories (PBIC0358) Hel. 10–11 Nephi was heartsick. He had tried hard to teach the Nephites to live righteously, but they would not forsake their wicked ways. As he went toward his home, Nephi heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast done; … behold, I will bless thee forever; … yea, even that all things shall be done…

Demonstrate what happens if the cup is moved toward the edge of the turntable while it is spun. If you can’t have the demonstration then just have them picture the last time they were on a merry-go-round and have the class discuss what happens…

Gather childrem in the doorway of a room leading out into a long hallway, have the light on in the room. Point out to the kids that you can’t tell exactly where it becomes totally black in the hallway, it gradually darkens. Just as some activities we choose aren’t totally bad. But the more we choose these kind of things to do the closer we are drawn to that line…

Ask the student to hold out his fist (representing either himself or the world). The teacher then holds his fist above the student’s fist (representing Heavenly Father). Ask the student to follow the movements of your fist as you move it around and about. Pretty easy. Then instruct the student that we can not see God and therefore know not His will for us. Ask the student to now close…

Show the video but stop it before the hunter comes. When you stop the video, ask the kids what they would tell Bambi (or his Mom) if they could. Usually the kids…

Show all of the envelopes at the beginning of class and state that these are special letters sent from President Hinckley. Have each member of the class take an envelope and one by one open the letter, read it aloud, and answer whether they would be prepared or willing to do it.
I set my objects on a table and tell the youth that I need a volunteer, one that will have faith in my instructions. I ask that the volunteer must be sure to follow my instructions explicitly and is not allowed to talk or to show emotion during the entire duration of the task at hand. I then remind the volunteer of their commitment & faith and ask them to…
