Video: DIY marshmallow shooter

By Cathy Woodward Cathy Woodward: #Thanksgiving Turkey Shoot. Here is a link to DIY marshmallow shooters using a plastic cup and a balloon: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ3AB_ytQC0 Super easy to make! I ask questions based on the lesson or SMs and the students receive one mini marshmallow for each correct answer. They can then shoot at paper or pompom turkeys. They love this and don’t even mind picking up the marshmallows afterward. I…

Scattergories

By Shauna Second Coming “Scattergories” (see end of post for other adaptations)We are studying the signs and events, listed in Doctrine and Covenants 43 and 45, that will take place before Jesus Christ’s Second Coming. Preparation in advance (not necessary-but helpful) the day before, I assigned the students to read D&C Sections 43 and 45 and note the signs of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ for the next class….

Fruit Basket Turnover and Human Tic Tac Toe

By Audrey Sizemore Frier Audrey Sizemore Frier : An idea w/questions that was a big hit today!….I typed out DIFFERENT questions in the lesson in a certain section in Lesson #39 (you could do this w/ANY Lesson/Questions), then passed out all of the questions to ‘some’ of the students. All students were assigned a group….we had 3 groups/3 questions. They had to read the question and come up suggested answers…

Ice-Blocking Activity

By JOLLY ROGERS Our YM planned our combined YM/YW activity this week – “Ice-Blocking” They bought a bunch of blocks of ice from the grocery store (they got about a dozen of them, which was perfect because we had about 20 kids show up, so they just took turns). Everyone brought a small towel to sit on (dish towel sizes were too big, hand-towel size is better). The concept was…

{Sharing Time} Successful Families Work Together


Sharing Time Ideas from the 2014 Outline

IDENTIFY THE DOCTRINE(participating in an object lesson): Invite four children to come to the front of the room. Have each child hold the end of one piece of string while you hold the other ends of all four strings. Ask the children to work together to twist the strings into a rope. Point out that just as twisting the strings together made a strong rope, working together can make a strong family. Put each of the following words on separate word strips: Successful, families, work, together. Attach the word strips to the rope. Invite the children to read the sentence together.

ENCOURAGE UNDERSTANDING(role-playing): Show a picture of Noah, and briefly tell the story of how Noah built an ark and gathered animals to prepare for the flood (see Genesis 6–7; Moses 8). Divide the children into groups, and ask each group to role-play one way Noah’s family may have worked together (such as gathering wood for the ark, building the ark, and herding the animals). Invite the other children to guess what they are doing. Explain that Noah’s family was successful as they worked together.

ENCOURAGE APPLICATION(drawing pictures): Explain that just as Noah’s family worked together, it is important for us to work  together in our own families. Give each child a piece of paper and crayons, and invite them to draw pictures of their families  working together. Invite several children to share their pictures and explain how doing what they have drawn will help their families be successful.

Sharing Time Ideas from Little LDS Ideas

For this week’s Sharing Time I thought a great way to wrap it up would be to play a fun game of charades. You have discussed that working together can make families strong…you talked about Noah and his family…so I created a ‘Family Charades’ game for you to close with.

 {Sharing Time} Successful Families Work Together
On each of the charades cards are different ‘jobs’ that a family might have (i.e. Vacuum, Take out the Garbage, etc). I also included blank cards as well.

Split the Primary into teams or play as one team, you could even include the teachers for a children Vs. Teachers!

Invite a child up to the front and have them pick a card. Have the child read the card and then give them 30 seconds or 1 minute to act it out. Have the children try to guess what he/she is doing.

After the children have guessed what job it is, invite another child up to the front to pick another card.

Play until all cards have been picked or until time runs out.

Remind the children that as we work together as a family our family can be strong. 



I hope you enjoy my Family Charades game as well as your Primary Children.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day & a great Sharing Time!
