Primary Activity and FHE lesson

Today was the first Primary Activity since I was called to be Primary President. I didn't realize before how much I didn't do. Because of the size of our Primary before, a 3rd counselor was called and she was over the quarterly activities. And the activities were always so good and took a little work on my part. After today I realized just how much she did. It was fun, I think all the children had a great time, but I came home and took a nap. We divided into 4 stations and I was only in charge of one. Everyone worked just as hard as me and I am grateful there are such wonderful people who are so willing to help.



We have a good amount of children who show up to Primary each Sunday. So, I figured planning for 15 less then what show up for Primary on Sunday would be PLENTY. I was wrong. I was a little short, so I ended up splitting the FHE lesson that I prepared between children in each family. So sorry to those families who were the last group to come through my station. I hope you don't feel jipped. So, here is the lesson with links to the stories so you can have a complete set. And, if you weren't in my ward and like the lesson, here ya go.



The theme of the activity was Tell Me The Stories of Jesus. So, I prepared a song, scripture, and 6 stories to go along with it. I explained Heavenly Father sent his Son to show us the way we should live our lives, just as the song, He Sent His Son tells us. I also included a super easy cookie recipe made from a cake mix as the treat.




























Here are the links to print off the flannel board stories in the lesson part:
The Good Shepherd
The Baptism of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ Heals a Blind Man
The Good Samaritan
Jesus Christ will come again
Christ's Life on Earth

I hope you enjoy the lesson. It was fun to prepare and the children really seemed to like it.

Thank you for all the hard work! It was so fun to see Brayden right there with the older kids for his first primary activity. He LOVED it! I love how he loves other kids and doesn't really care if they're his age or older.
