Primary Manual 4: Lesson 16, Alma and Amulek in Prison

Lesson 16 in Primary Manual 4 is about Alma & Amulek in prison and the purpose of the lesson is to help the children develop faith in Jesus Christ so they will stand for the right. You can see the entire lesson HERE. During the lesson you teach about the faith that Alma & Amulek had even when they were being persecuted and how they defended their faith through it all. This handout has ways the kids can remember to stand for the right in their own lives including: obey the commandments, avoid swearing, be kind, pray, tell the truth, follow Christ, never cheat, study the scriptures and choose the right.

Primary Manual 4: Lesson 15, Alma and Amulek’s Mission to Ammonihah

In Primary Manual 4 lesson 15 is about Alma and Amulek's mission to Ammonihah, and the purpose of the lesson is to teach the kids to the importance of faithfully obeying Heavenly Father’s commandments. You can see the entire lesson HERE.  I strayed slightly from the lesson for this handout because I love this quote, it is from a talk given at BYU Women's conference in 2011. It sums up exactly why we should do the simple things of the gospel and live it faithfully- because we will see extraordinary results in our lives.

Primary Manual 4: Lesson 14, Alma the Younger and the Sons of Mosiah Repent

After reading through Lesson 14 in the Primary Manual 4 I knew I wanted to incorporate the object lesson of using food dye, bleach and a water bottle for repentance. I planned this handout based on that object lesson.

PRIMARY MANUAL 4: LESSON 13,The People of King Limhi and the People of Alma

Lesson 13 in the Primary 4 Manual is about The People of King Limhi and the People of Alma.  The purpose of the lesson is to teach the kids that humility and faith in Jesus Christ can give us strength to face adversity.  With this purpose in mind I created this "shield of faith" handout.  I used a scripture from the lesson-  Mosiah 23:22 "Whosoever putteth his trust in him the same shall be lifted up at the last day."

Happiness Boxes for Activity Days

The girls in our Activity Days group loved this project/lesson.  I love when we can combine a fun project with a meaningful lesson, it seems to be the best balance with this age of girls. I found a great outline on doing an activity on the science of happiness HERE.  The website I just listed Mormon Activity Days is a fantastic website with tons of great ideas on, if you are an activity day leader you must check it out. I basically followed the outline found there for the lesson.

Activity Day Progress Binders

I am currently serving in the Primary in our ward, teaching the Valiant 9 class as well as an Activity Day leader.  I love Activity Days and coming up with fun crafts, lessons and projects for the girls to do that go along with the Faith in God for Girls manual.  I wanted a way for the girls to visually see how they were progressing with the faith in God program so I created these fun binders.  The girls were so excited to get these which made me happy since it was no quick ordeal to create them!

Primary Manual 7: Lesson 45, Gifts of the Spirit

In Primary Manual 4 lesson 45 is about Paul's journey to Rome.  I chose to create a double sided handout that has Article of Faith #7 on one side and a list of gifts of the spirit on the other side.  The lesson helps the kids learn about gifts that are given through the Holy Ghost.

Primary Manual 4: Lesson 1, The Book of Mormon

The first lesson in primary manual 4 is about the Book of Mormon and how it is a gift from our Heavenly Father.  Since its the first lesson of the year I found it a great time to challenge the kids to read the entire Book of Mormon this year.  I printed out THESE monthly reading schedules and gave the kids the January reading chart. We talked about what rewards they would receive for reading- a monthly treat and quarterly parties at my house.
