{Primary} Teacher Birthday Gifts

When I served in the Primary Presidency several years ago the President found ‘coupons’ to give to the teachers on their birthday.
The coupons were for a ‘Sunday Off’ so that they could go to Relief Society/Priesthood.

Well, I’m back in Primary and asked the President if we could do something similar for our wonderful teachers.
Today I would like to share what I created for our teachers.

I began by searching for ideas on Pinterest (gotta love Pinterest!). I was on the search for Birthday Gift ideas for the teachers as well as ‘Thank You’ ideas for substitutes (post & printables to come soon).
As I was scrolling through Pinterest I came across a cute printable (found HERE) for a Kit Kat bar. The printable was for school teachers and it wrapped around the entire bar, but I liked the phrase on the printable ‘You Deserve a Break’.

I decided to use the ‘Kit Kat’ idea along with the coupon for our gifts.

I saw a few different versions of the ‘coupon’ on Pinterest, here is one teacher appreciation coupon on Sugardoodle. I decided to change a few things, so I got to work creating my own coupon and a tag for the Kit Kat.

Here is the finished product! What do you think?

I had some clear plastic boxes that I thought would work great. I decided to use the Kit Kat miniatures and added a few to the box and then wrapped the box with some twine (ribbon or string would work great too). I punched a hole in the ‘Need a Break’ tag and tied that on to the string. Then I slipped the coupon underneath the string.

You could also buy the full size candy bars and place the coupon on top and tie some string/ribbon around it and add the tag.
No matter what you do I’m sure your Primary teachers will love it! Because who wouldn’t like chocolate and a Sunday off?!?

Today I am sharing my Teacher Coupon Printables with you!

And to all you amazing primary teachers out there…Thank you for all you do.

 “No greater responsibility can rest upon any man [or woman],

than to be a teacher of God’s Children.”

{Pres. David O. McKay}


You may feel like your calling isn’t as great or as important as some other callings, but I think yours is the greatest. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

All You Need to Know…You learned from Primary Songs!

All You Need to Know...

All you need to know, you learned from Primary Music!!!

 

          You lived in heaven,
Families can be together FOREVER,
Pray He is there-Speak He is listening,
Reverence is more than just quietly sitting,
I BELONG to the Church of Jesus Christ
           of Latter Day Saints,
       Bring the World His Truth,
   I’ll be a Sunbeam for Him      
         Love One Another,
       The Temple  is a Holy Place
where we are sealed together, have Faith,
     You want your life to be clean
          and live with God again,
        Search, Ponder and Pray,
        Follow the Prophet,
           Give, Oh, Give
    Keep the Commandments,
Be like the Wise Man, GO and DO as the
Lord Commands, The Scriptures have POWER,
          My body is a Temple
Stand for the Right, Saturday is a special day,
            And…yes,
   Once there was a Snowman,
       And you are all made of Hinges..
But most importantly, you are a CHILD of GOD
      And Heavenly Father Loves YOU!

For the PDF of this original poem by my mom and I, click here :)

When writing this poem we honestly felt that this was all the children needed to know and remember throughout their life.  As music leaders we also need to always remember these simple truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Young or old, we need to live the basic gospel principles and remember that we are LOVED.
We all need help and support from others along our path of life.  Many other bloggers have helped us along our way as being Music Leaders.    Just a spark of inspiration can go a long way and help lift us up for the next weeks adventures!  Here is a list of our favorite primary blogs that have helped us along our road:
