This is a PDF document of 5 chain links representing children holding hands. When we are doing service we are united as one and are “linked” together. We are planning a service project for the remainder of the year for the primary kids in our ward.

Primary Opening Exercises and Sharing Time Schedule Documents

These documents are for the 9am church schedule and assume the combined exercises are at the beginning of the first hour of primary. By performing a “find” and “replace” in MS Word, the time can be changed easily to adapt to any schedule. It changes all 120 instances at once. That is how I change the date, time and theme each year. It makes it go very quickly and reduces…

Christmas Visitors

Cami December 17, 2012

I’m so excited about our plans for Primary next week. We are welcoming some special visitors for a combined Sharing Time and Singing Time. We will hear from wise men, the inn keeper, shepherds, angels and Mary as they share their experience surrounding the Savior’s birth. Each person will provide their own simple costume and share a 1 – 2 minute narrative of who they are, what they did and how they felt about their experience with the Savior’s birth. Some will sing songs and sometimes we will sing with them.

I think this has the potential to be a powerful experience for the kids especially if the visitors allow it to be a little personal and share their feelings. I’ve been amazed so far at how willing the adults are to participate!

We’ll have only one visitor (or group of visitors) at a time and the visitors will move in and out of the room during the transition songs the children sing. Here’s my agenda:

Wise Men –

Children See the Joy CD

Inn Keeper –

Children Away in a Manger p. 42

Angels – One angel explains and then a heavenly host joins to sing: Joy to the World hymn #201 (children join in on chorus)

Children – Picture a Christmas p. 50

Shepherd – The First Noel hymn # 213 (Children join in on chorus)

Children Stars Were Gleaming p. 37

Mary – Mary’s Lullaby p. 44

Children Could I Hold the Baby sheet music

Merry Christmas!
