Write this phrase on paper bracelets the children can decorate and wear. Explain that being honest includes telling the truth." These handouts are available in a digital download format in my Etsy shop here.   I printed the bracelets on cardstock paper, and cut them out. I used tape, but you can also choose to use glue to hold the bracelets together! They were the perfect addition to our listen when teaching about honesty. The kids loved coloring their bracelets and wore them proudly.

  September 4-10  ♡   1 Corinthians 14-16 " G o d  I s  N o t  t h e  A u t h o r  o f  C o n f u s i o n ,  b u t  o f  P e a c e " Heavenly Father wants me to live with him in the celestial kingdom "Write on the board celestial, terrestrial, and telestial. Help the children learn to say these words... Read 1 Corinthians 15: 40-41 to the children. Explain that the sun, moon, and stars represent the kingdoms we can live in after we are resurrected. In the celestial kingdom, we can live with Heavenly Father." To help the primary kids in our class to remember the order of these 3 kingdoms, I created this "sea turtle" handout! CE- Celestial Kingdom (Sea) TER- Terrestrial Kingdom (TUR-) T-LE- Telestial Kingdom (-TLE) These handouts are available in a digital download format in my Etsy shop here.   I printed the turtles on cardstock paper, and carefully cut them out.

For this part of the lesson, I found some large Lego pieces at home to use as an object lesson. I built a small structure, demonstrating that Jesus Christ is the foundation. Every Lego piece that was built on top were examples of things that "build" on a testimony of Him. I created these super cute and fun handouts as a reminder to the primary children, that Jesus Christ is our foundation! These handouts are available in a digital download format in my Etsy shop here. I found some "Lego" candies to go along with the object lesson and attached them to the handouts. I put the candies in small baggies and stapled them onto the handouts (I printed them on cardstock). I purchased the Lego candies on Amazon. You can find them here. My Body is like a

Get some dice (we got a couple soft, foam dice from the dollar store). The dice we used are each numbered 1-6, to add up to a number maximum of 12. Have the children take turns rolling the dice. Whatever number the dice lands on, the child who rolled it can color the corresponding numbered image! Discuss each of the images while coloring. If a dice lands on a number that has already been colored, have the child roll again!

  J une 5-11  ♡   John 14-17 " I n  R e m e m b r a n c e " I show my love for Jesus Christ by Keeping His commandments Here is this week's activity page , which I have colored and modified slightly to adjust to our own primary class! It can be printed, laminated, and taped onto some sturdy cardboard to create a fun and interactive board game! Before playing the board game, here is a handout the children can be given. On one side of the handout, there is a list of commandments for the kids to refer to throughout the game. On the reverse side is the scripture: "If you love me, keep my commandments." This side also includes a designated spot where the primary children can place their adopted "love bugs" as a reminder of their commitment to love God and follow His teachings. These handouts can be found here!

  May 29-June 4  ♡   Matthew 26, Mark 14 & John 13 " I n  R e m e m b r a n c e " The sacrament helps me think about Jesus Taking the sacrament is a chance to remember what Jesus has done for us. Encourage the children to think about Jesus and be reverent during the sacrament each week. In addition to the sacrament activity booklet found in the Come Follow Me outline, the children can also refer to these bookmarks, which can be found here ! They are the perfect tool for primary children to engage with and better understand the significance of the sacrament. The acronym helps to bring a deeper understanding and appreciation of the sacrament, helping children and adults remember Jesus' love during their worship. Here is this week's activity booklet *colored*, so you can print and use as an example for the children! I can love others as Jesus did Give the children paper hearts and invite them to draw a picture of themselves doing something to show their love for ano

I used cotton balls and craft googly eyes to glue onto the sheep! I did mine ahead of time, but if there is plenty of class time, I would have the kids do it themselves! You can find these handouts here ! At the end of the lesson, we hid a stuffed animal sheep that was "lost", and went outside for the kids to go find! Once it was found, we gave them their handouts & treats. The recipe for the sheep treats can be found here !

Jesus taught me to see all people as my neighbors and love them Click here for these super cute "Good Samaritan" handouts!

 Reframing Negative Thoughts Use this worksheet to help you think more realistically and positively!  For example:  Negative Thought- "I am stupid" What evidence or proof do you have that you are "stupid"? If you had to prove to me that you are what you say you are, where is your evidence to support that claim? You may say: "I failed my test", but does that prove to me that you are "stupid"? No!- Failing a test in itself does not indicate a lack of intelligence. Positive Thought- "I am capable of learning" What evidence to you have to support this positive claim?- "I can study. I can try again. I have a brain. I have learned things in the past. etc." In my practice, negative thoughts can always be reframed to be more realistic and positive. This may be difficult to do at first, but with diligent practice, your thought patterns can change over time and improve your mood!
