Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
One of the first projects I shared on The Mormon Home was our ward Priesthood Preview–about two years ago! Those printables were overdue for an update and I really like the new look I’m sharing here today. Feel free to use for your ward, print, and share! The main look is the same across the […]
This year I had one single goal for our Primary: more scripture study. To help the Primary kids and their families finish strong, I put together a new, simple reading guide that I hope will encourage them all to read through the end of the year! Just for context, we’ve been working on scripture study […]
I am neck deep in planning for our Primary in 2017! I’m very excited. I really love these children and I’m looking forward to the theme next year. Last year I put together these one-page calendars to help with planning. It is really helpful for me to see the whole year all at once! I […]
I like to print a one page conference coloring sheets for my Primary kids. I have mixed feelings about packets, but I think a one-page take home sheet works well as a reminder for families to engage with conference. This year, I put together a new one that correlates with the Primary “I know the […]
My Mormonism runs deep in my bones: it is the faith of my fathers. My life’s work–my children–is bearing the fruit of this faith. Undeniably one of the more unique aspects of my religion is the doctrine of family. A child of divorced parents, a great-great-great-grandchild of polygamists and pioneers: my understanding of family has […]
This week is going to a tough one and I wish you the best of luck dear sisters! I think that this week is so hard to teach because you really just don’t want to call out kids that you deem immodest. So what I wanted to do for this week it to share the …
I have based my ideas off of this article in the Friend.
(included in the download is this to print out on LEGAL paper-8.5×14)
1) Bring in some sticky darts and see if the kids can “dart” the pairs then discuss. Bean bags are also great for this (with the ground rules of no throwing)
These sticky darts are the ones I always have on hand but you can typically find them at party supply stores.
2) Create key words for each of the answer boxes and have the kids try to match the key word (write or print on the back of the answer boxes) to the question.
3) Have all the questions up on the board, scatter the answer boxes around the room on walls, under chairs, etc. Have the kids find the answer box that goes with the question, then discuss.
I have also included some illustrations from different Friend magazines about some things we can do with our bodies. You can put these up with the temple pictures from the “Introduce the doctrine” and ask the kids how are our bodies the same as temples?
There are 5 in all for the illustrations.
I wanted you to be able to send the kids home with something to summarize the lesson and I just loved this illustration from Susan Fitch and knew that it’d be perfect for this handout.

Our Primary Program is really early this year–at the end of September. I’ve been working on a draft for our Primary and thought I’d share it here! It will go through some tweaks and changes. It also still needs approval from our bishop. But I love to read what others are putting together so I […]
Last summer our Primary planned a “Summer of Service” challenge, where we encouraged the kids to find ways to serve others around them. This summer I wanted to maintain our scripture reading momentum, so I thought it would be great to have a scripture oriented challenge. The challenge we settled on is to learn the names and […]
This Sunday is the “faith is like a seed” Sharing Time. I think this lesson is one of the first object lessons out there! It’s a great way to connect a concrete process (growing a plant) to a more abstract, spiritual idea (faith). I’m going to be emphasizing how some things help seeds grow and […]
Graduating from Primary is a rite of passage! It might seem over-dramatic, but I really believe it’s a clear marking point between childhood and adolescence. So we throw a mini celebration every time a member of our Valiant 11 Class leaves us! We invite their parents and family to join in. In our ward we […]
The end of the school year is coming quickly! My May calendar is filled with recitals, finals, and projects. I have a high school senior (!?!) so I have all the feels–mostly gratitude that one of my children has made it to adulthood! It is more obvious than ever how many people we, as a […]
