Over the years, I have admired sites such as sugardoodle.net for finding creative ideas to use when working with children. I will attempt to share ideas(many are a compilation of these fantastic sites)that I have accumulated over the years. I apologize for any credit that I do not give to individuals that certainly deserve it. By the way, I love reading your comments from around the worldDarceehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05788390247027145051noreply@blogger.comBlogger85125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2369768743227010623.post-3778731771768676112013-11-28T14:08:00.003-08:002013-11-28T14:08:41.667-08:00Thank you!!

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Happy Thanksgiving! I give thanks for the joy that this
little Primary blog has brought to my life. I am grateful for the Saints all
over the world that have may been helped in teaching the gospel to the
precious little souls in their primaries through my lessons. Unfortunately, I will not be creating
weekly lessons that match the current Primary theme any longer. I may still
create a lesson here or there, but my focus has shifted to dedicating more time
to my son that has Autism. I feel impressed to spend more time in research and in
sharing those ideas with others that may share the same daily trials,
frustrations, celebrations and breakthroughs that I face. Everyone is
more than welcome to use my blog in the coming years and to change whatever you feel
impressed - to match the current theme and needs of your primary. Thanks again
for letting me fulfill a dream and I truly cherish all the kind comments that
have been shared these past few years... and the surprise comments I may still
receive in the years to come. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 12pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Have a child remove the standard off the board and
read and discuss. What kinds of things can we read and watch that are pleasing
to Heavenly Father? (watching worthy TV programs that invite the spirit and
reading scriptures, Feasting upon the word of God will help us not be spiritually
hungry on our journey, reading church books and magazines and other good
appropriate books that uplift us.) </span></div>
<div style="margin: 12pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">So. Let’s find all the things to pack our suitcase

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">Let’s find the <u>Modest

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">We need to pack
on our journey to the temple good and uplifting music. Would I listen to the
song if the Savior stood beside me? If we listen to music with good values and
lyrics, it will be easier when we are older and married. Let’s find some good
music in the room and pack them in the suitcase. Play a round of Hot/Cold to
find the Gospel Standard Object a <u>Church Song or Hymn book</u> and then pack
it in the suitcase. Song option: “If the Savior Stood Beside Me” page 28 in
outline for 2013 Sharing time booklet<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">Do you think we
should take inappropriate words on our journey? If we use good language now and
not participate in profanity, it will be easier to walk away from bad
situations and to be able to go to the temple. Let’s pack some <u>Toothpaste</u>
(Gospel Standard Object) to remind us to keep our mouths clean and especially
reverent when we speak of Heavenly Father and Jesus. Who can help me find the Toothpaste?
Play a round of Hot/Cold to find the toothpaste and then pack it in the
suitcase. Song Option: Dare to Do Right, (CS, 158)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 12pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">We want to
always remember the covenants or promises we made when we entered the waters of
our baptism, even when we are grown up. The Holy Ghost is a gift we
have been given to help us stay on the right path of our journey back to our Heavenly
Father. Let’s find the <u>Bottle of Water</u> (Gospel Standard Object) to
represent us remembering that we were baptized by immersion, the first step to
the temple. Play a round of Hot/Cold to find the water and then pack it in the
suitcase. Song option: “When I am Baptized”, (CS, 103)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 12pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">I was going to
pack a map before on my trip. This time we are going to pack on our journey to
the temple the Plan of Salvation, which is our spiritual map directing us
safely back to our Heavenly Father. We are unique to know that we are children
of God and that he has given us a plan of happiness to return to Him. Let’s
find the <u>Picture of the Plan of Salvation</u> (Gospel Standard Object) found in the Friend, January 2008, p.16 or <a href="http://res.ldschurch.ch/magazines/thefriend/en/2008/thefriend_2008-01.pdf">http://res.ldschurch.ch/magazines/thefriend/en/2008/thefriend_2008-01.pdf</a> and

sacred and pure, and I will not partake of things that are harmful to me.” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 12pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">If we put good
food in our bodies as youth and avoid harmful substances, our bodies will be stronger
as adults. So we should pack good food on our journey to
the temple? Let’s find the <u>Sack of Good Food</u> (play food) (Gospel
Standard Object) and add it to our suitcase. Song option: “The Word of Wisdom”
(CS, 154)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Sabbath that will help me feel close to Heavenly Father.” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 12pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">Doing things on
Sunday that keep us focused on the Savior will help us as we prepare to go to
the temple. When we are married with our own families, it will be easier to
teach our children this commandment if we have been following it in our youth.
Let’s pack our <u>Calendar (with Sundays circled)</u> (Gospel Standard Object) to
help us remember to always keep the Sabbath day holy. Song option: “Remember
the Sabbath Day” (CS, 155)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

anytime, anywhere” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 12pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">We need to talk
to our Heavenly Father through prayer. I was going to pack a cell phone in my
other suitcase, will that work in THIS suitcase to talk to Heavenly Father. No,
we have to pray to him always and often. Let’s find the picture of Prayer(Primary packet picture 1-9) to
remind us that we need to pray to prepare to go to the temple and will need to
continue to pray throughout our lives. Song option: “Child’s Prayer”, (CS, 12)
(No Gospel Standard Object)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 12pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">In my original
suitcase, I packed a plane ticket. Will a plane ticket work to get me into the
temple, be married and have an eternal family? No, I must have a Celestial Ticket.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you know what that looks like? (Show or
describe a Temple Recommend) A Temple Recommend or “Celestial Ticket” signifies
that you are living worthy to enter the Lord’s holy house. I hope you will all
strive to live worthy and journey to the temple one day. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Anyone
seen a timeline before, maybe at school? A timeline is a diagram that shows
when different events in history or someone’s life have taken place. There are
dates or years on timelines, read from left to right (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">point to timeline</i>) to show the amount of time passed between each
of the events. We are going to explore a special timeline today and learn about
some prophets, their baptisms long ago and how they had testimonies of the
gospel, even as children. I have a scrapbook that has pictures of some prophets
as children that need to be matched up with the correct prophet portrait on the
timeline so we can read a journal entry about their baptism experience. We will
draw a year out of the bag and identify the prophet that was baptized that
year.</span></div>

21 May 1852 in City Creek... in Salt
Lake City. The ordinance was performed by President Heber C. Kimball, a member
of the First Presidency and a close friend of Joseph’s martyred father, Hyrum
Smith. Because his father had been killed when Joseph F. was 7, he was baptized
at 13 after they had crossed the plains and settled into in the Salt Lake
valley. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In describing that day, Joseph
F. Smith said: “… I
remember the testimony that filled my being when I was baptized. At that time

- Howard W. Hunter’s mother was a member of the church, but his father was not
a member. When Howard turned eight-years-old, he wanted to be baptized, but his
father explained that he wanted him to wait until he grew up to decide the
right church for him. When Howard turned twelve, he begged his father to let
him be baptized so he could become a deacon. Finally, a few months after
Howard's twelfth birthday, his father agreed to let him be baptized. He was
baptized on April 4, 1920 in a big public swimming pool since the church had no
baptismal font in Boise at that time. (See Boys Who Became Prophets by Lynda
Cory Robinson.) taken from </span></span><a href="http://www.sugardoodle.net/Baptism/Our%20Prophets%20Place%20of%20Baptism.shtml"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.sugardoodle.net/Baptism/Our%20Prophets%20Place%20of%20Baptism.shtml</span></span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <span style="color: black;"> </span></span><span style="color: black;">Howard W.

- “I recall the time I approached baptism, when I was eight years of age. My
mother talked with me about repentance and about the meaning of baptism; and
then, on a Saturday in September of 1935, she took me on a streetcar to the
Tabernacle baptistery… At the time it was not as customary as it is now for
fathers to baptize their children, since the ordinance was generally performed
on a Saturday...and many fathers were working at their
daily professions or trades. I dressed in white and was baptized. I remember
that day as though it were yesterday and the happiness I felt at having had
this ordinance performed.” </span></span><a href="http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2007/04/tabernacle-memories?lang=eng"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2007/04/tabernacle-memories?lang=eng</span></span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Joseph Smith restored the true church of Jesus Christ back
to the earth after the Apostasy. Has anyone ever gone on a tour of a museum or
a historical landmark? Today, we are going to go on a tour some of our Church’s
history and see some REAL pictures of the sites that we have heard stories at
home, Sunday school class, and Primary. I hope you feel the spirit of these
places and your testimony grows.</span> <o:p></o:p></div>

kept the plates hidden inside and around the frame home. In this home, Joseph

about the history of the Church I want to skip ahead and tell you about the martyrdom
of Joseph Smith because I don’t want to talk a lot during that section of the
video. But I do want you to imagine how sad it must have been. Joseph and His
brother Hyrum were put in Carthage Jail in Carthage, Illinois which remains
about the saddest and most run down city I have ever seen. They were put in
jail for a crime they didn’t commit. Bad people raced to the jail and fired a
bullet hole through the door of the jail and killed Hyrum. He screamed, "I am a
dead man" as he fell to the floor. Joseph backed up to the window and was shot
and fell out of the window to his death. Then you will see his gravestone next
to his brother’s. Please be reverent as you watch the pictures. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Here is a link to the second section of our Church History tour that I eliminated from the sharing time(I included section 1 and 3) because I wanted to focus more on the early and later life of the prophet Joseph Smith. Feel free to use it if it works with your Primary. It is about 5 minutes long, as well.<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri;">CLEOPAS – My name is Cleopas and I know that Jesus Christ
was resurrected!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the third day after
Jesus was crucified, I was walking with another disciple from Jerusalem to a
nearby village called Emmaus. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(See Luke
24:13–32.) As we walked, we talked about Jesus, how he had been taken by the
Roman soldiers, crucified, and then tenderly placed in the sepulchre, by his
friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt confused because Mary
Magdalene had told the disciples that the stone had been rolled away from the
sepulchre, which was guarded by soldiers, and that Jesus’ body was gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we walked, another traveler joined
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He asked us what we were talking about
and why I was so sad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t believe
that the traveler had not heard about the crucifixion of Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I told the traveler that the women had gone
to the sepulchre and found it empty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then the traveler began to talk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He reminded me of all the scriptures that prophesied that a Savior would
come, teach people how to live, then die and rise from the dead, so that all
people could live again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got near the
village of Emmaus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I asked the traveler
to spend the night with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
agreed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we ate together, I realized
that the traveler was the resurrected Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

and through a carefully crafted physical exercise program he was able to
strengthen his body to become a champion weightlifter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We shouldn’t attempt to lift 400 pounds (this
took Denver years to safely master), but we can exercise our bodies daily to
help ensure they stay strong and healthy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We have been given these magnificent physical bodies from our Heavenly
Father, but we have also been given spiritual bodies to care for on earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can we spiritually exercise our bodies?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course we can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are going to discover a “spiritual

</span>We need to have a goal when we physically exercise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Denver had a goal to lift a certain number of
pounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our goal when we spiritually
exercise is “to become like Jesus Christ” (Put a picture of Jesus the Christ

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black;">Do you think Denver did his physical exercise program one
time and was done and won the weightlifting trophy?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No, of course not, his program was consistent
– meaning he did it day after day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Put up a
picture of a calendar on the chalkboard) We need to exercise our spiritual
bodies each day to make them stronger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sometimes it takes time and not everyone’s spiritual body is at the same
spiritual level.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot lift 400
pounds, but I can improve on the 20 pounds I can lift.</span> </span></div>

We can pray to prepare our spiritual bodies! “Among the most important of

engenders harmony with God and a desire to keep His commandments.”</span> (</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;"><a href="http://www.lds.org/new-era/2008/07/you-are-a-child-of-god">http://www.lds.org/new-era/2008/07/you-are-a-child-of-god</a></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri;">Before we came to this earth, we
were taught of a great plan of happiness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Before coming to earth, we lived in heaven as spirits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is called our Premortal life (put up a picture of “Our Premortal Life” from Primary
packet 3-3) and underneath a wordstrip of PREMORTAL LIFE “God prepared the earth as a home for His children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Adam and Eve were chosen to be the first
people to live on the earth in the Garden of Eden (Put up a picture of “Adam of Eve in the Garden of Eden” from
Gospel Art Kit 101 next to the “Premortal life” picture and underneath a wordstrip of GARDEN OF EDEN ). “Their part in our
Father’s plan was to bring mortality (all of us) into the world.” </span><a href="http://www.lds.org/manual/gospel-principles/chapter-6-the-fall-of-adam-and-eve?lang=eng"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">http://www.lds.org/manual/gospel-principles/chapter-6-the-fall-of-adam-and-eve?lang=eng</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: black;">Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit
and sinned, this is called the Fall of Adam and Eve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because of the fall (put up a picture of“Earth” from Primary Packet 1-1 and underneath wordstrip labeled
“THE FALL OF ADAM AND EVE”), we were able to come to earth and receive bodies and continue Heavenly Father’s
plan.</span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black;">We are going to better discover the
role Adam and Eve’s fall had in the “great plan of happiness” through a
game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are going to remove these Jenga
blocks and try to keep the structure standing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But if it does fall remember, "Adam fell that men might be; and men
are that they might have joy" (2 Nephi 2:24-25.) The fall was part of the
plan! (Keep a note of which color and block you are discussing so the game can
continue quickly)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it does fall,
repeat, “Adam fell that men might be” and we will fix it, and continue with the
number block we were previously on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
we build, we will learn more in detail about the importance of Adam and
Eve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The blue block structure help us
understand our “PREMORTAL LIFE”, Green block structure help us learn about the
“GARDEN OF EDEN”, Red block structure help us understand the “FALL OF ADAM AND
EVE”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tan blocks are JUST for
support. We will start with removing the blue blocks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s find Premortal life blue block #1!</span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri;">NOTE: I covered the
blocks edges with colored paper, put the number on the edge and taped each
statement in corresponding color to the face of the block.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have three separate structures - blue,
green and red to avoid the blocks falling too much. I have strategically placed
the numbered blocks to keep the structure as stable as possible – one number
block per row.</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;">Jesus went about doing good. When I think of something good, I think of a treasure. A treasure is something that is precious and valuable and I can’t think of anything more important that Jesus Christ in my life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each new thing we learn about our Savior is like a treasure. Well, we are going on a treasure hunt and see if we find some treasure stories of Jesus that can remind us of the good that Jesus has done for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, we will pick an object clue from the treasure chest and have someone hide it. We will sing to help the person find the treasure clue, read the scripture clue and try and find the correct picture/story about Jesus that matches. Lets see how many treasures we can learn about Jesus.</span> </span><br />

He asked Jesus why He needed to be baptized. The Savior explained that He needed to be baptized to be obedient to the commandments of Heavenly Father. We need to remember that Jesus was baptized, not because he needed to, but to show us it was important for everyone to do so. We can remember the promises we made at baptism during the sacrament.

One day a lamb wandered off, so the shepherd left the other ninety-nine to go search for the little lost sheep. When he found it he carried it back to safety with the rest of the flock. Jesus is the Good Shepherd, and we are his sheep. He loves all of us and watches over us. He wants all of us to be together with Him in heaven. We can think during the sacrament of those that need to hear about the church or need help coming back to Jesus. </span></span></span><br />

keys with the correct priesthood and unlock the “spiritual blessings of the church.

So the children know what a symphony looks and sounds like). Recently, I was
able to visit a live orchestra and was amazed that all these different musical instruments
with their own unique sounds could produce together something so harmonious, so
beautifully blended. The scriptures in Alma say, “…that
we have been made instruments in the hands of God to bring about this great
work.” We are the Lord’s instruments or tools to help build up each other and
the church. We use our talents or special gifts from God to create harmony and
beauty in the world around us. This keyboard (show keyboard, or you could use a
piano if needed) would like to play the last part of a primary song but needs
some help finding the correct musical notes to play. I have placed some musical
instruments around the room, like a symphony, that can help the piano find the
musical notes it needs, its sheet music! We will discover what kind of talented
instruments we can be and how we can create spiritual harmony. With each
instrument, we will learn about talents and find a few musical notes to put on
the board.</span></span><br />

and the spoon side (show spoon side in other hand) represents a mother. The
fork side has its own special jobs that it is good at and the spoon, in turn,
has jobs that it is better suited for. Each CAN certainly serve salad by
themselves. But the fork and the spoon (assemble the fork and spoon side
together) working together as equal partners can serve salad more successfully.</span>

<span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="color: black;">The first four
commandments Heavenly Father gave to Moses teach us that we should respect and
worship God. (Taken from the “2102 Sharing time outline”, September week 2,
p.18<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">) </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today we are going to divide you into four
groups. Each group will be given a puzzle that when completed will reveal one
of those commandments. Using the scriptures as your guide, and with the help of
your teacher, assemble the puzzle on the magnetic cookie sheet “tablet”(puzzle
pieces have “business card” magnets on back of them).</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="color: black;">When you are done discuss the commandment. We
will assign one or two people from each group to briefly present some ideas to
the rest of the Primary. There are some pictures, stories, and additional
information for each group that you can use to help better understand the
commandment. (I don't like to put teachers "on the spot" to conduct a discussion. They are welcome to use their own ideas.) Use the back of the cookie sheet “tablet” to attach any pictures
(also with “business card” magnets) that you would like to share in your
presentation.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

His name was Darius. King Darius chose men to help him. Daniel was their
leader. The other men did not like Daniel. They did not want him to be their
leader. The men knew Daniel prayed to God. They went to the king. They asked
him to make a new law. The king made the new law. It said people could not pray
to God. People who did not obey the law would be put in a lions’ den. The lions
would eat them. The king knew Daniel must be put in the lions’ den.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The king tried to think of a way to

went into the mountains to talk with God. He was gone 40 days and 40 nights.
Many elders including a man named Aaron were waiting for him. Some Israelites
came to Aaron and said that they were tired of waiting for Moses to return.
They wanted Aaron to make an idol for them to worship. They didn’t want to
worship God. Aaron made a golden idol out of them shaped like a calf. The
people worshipped the golden calf and made wicked sacrifices to it. Jesus was
angry. He told Moses that some of the Israelites were doing wrong things and
that the wicked must die. Moses came down the mountain with two large stones
that Jesus had written the commandments with his finger. Moses saw the golden
calf and was very angry. He threw the stones down and broke them</span>. <span style="color: black;">Moses threw

mother was shocked. She told me quietly, but firmly, how wrong I was. She told
me that I could not have words of that kind coming out of my mouth. She led me
by the hand into the bathroom, where she took from the shelf a clean washcloth,
put it under the faucet, and then generously coated it with soap. She said,
“We’ll have to wash out your mouth.” She told me to open it, and I did so
reluctantly. Then she rubbed the soapy washcloth around my tongue and teeth. I
rinsed and rinsed my mouth, but it was a long while before the soapy taste was
gone. In fact, whenever I think of that experience, I can still taste the soap.
I have tried to avoid using the name of the Lord in vain since that day. I am
grateful for that lesson.” Nov 2004 Friend, “Come Listen to a Prophet’s Voice,

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: black;">“My mind raced back to the days of
my youth on the farm. In the summertime one of our responsibilities was to haul
hay from the fields into the barn for winter storage. My dad would pitch the
hay onto a flatbed wagon. I would then tromp down the hay to get as much as
possible on the wagon. One day, in one of the loose bundles pitched onto the
wagon was a rattlesnake! When I looked at it, I was concerned, excited, and
afraid. The snake was lying in the nice, cool hay. The sun was glistening on
its diamond back. After a few moments the snake stopped rattling, became still,
and I became very curious. I started to get closer and leaned over for a better
look, when suddenly I heard a call from my father: "David, my boy, you
can't pet a rattlesnake!”(picture that goes with story- May</span> <span style="color: black;">2002 New Era, p.

couldn’t pet a rattlesnake? Certainly David has agency (the freedom to choose)
whether to touch the snake or not. If someone was with him, he might have been
dared to touch the snake. What might have happened if he made the wrong choice
and touched the snake? We have to be careful around rattlesnakes because they
can bite and can harm us with their poison.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Yesterday, I was walking and noticed some beautiful flowers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today, we are going to plant kindness seeds
and grow love flowers. Just like we work with our hands to plant real seeds to
grow into flowers, we can work with our hands to “plant seeds of good deeds”
towards those around us. Sometimes we need tools or things that can help get
the job done quicker or better like these shovels (show shovels) help us to plant
seeds. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tools of kindness could include a
book that you are going to read your younger brother, or a duster to dust the
house so mom doesn’t have to do it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes,
we, ourselves are the tools, by using our ears to listen to someone’s problems,
to smile at someone, or give a hug. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Will real flowers grow if we don’t care for them? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No, they need water and someone to look after
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The flowers need Heavenly Father
and Jesus’ help to get enough light and sunshine. We grow with more love every
time we are kind. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

sunflower) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Isn’t it amazing that a small
thing like this seed can grow into something like a huge sunflower? We can do
small and simple kind acts for other people and make a big difference in their
life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Alma 37:6 we read, “By small
and simple things are great things brought to pass.” So we are going to plant
kindness seeds and discover ways that we can scatter kindness to others at
home, school, church, neighborhood, or anywhere we go!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the road where he walked the cows. Spencer W. Kimball noticed that there
were many little birds in those trees. When he saw the birds, he was tempted to
shoot them to show what a good shot he was. But then he remembered a song that
he sang in Primary. It said, “Don’t kill the little birds. … The earth is God’s
Estate, and he provideth food for small as well as great.” Spencer thought of
those words that he sang. He decided that the birds were important to Heavenly
Father, and it was not right to kill them. So he was always careful to shoot
his slingshot where he would not hit any birds (see Conference Report, Apr.
1978, p. 71; or <span class="Emphasis1">Ensign,</span> May 1978, p. 47). </span></span><a href="http://www.lds.org/manual/primary-1/lesson-35?lang=eng&query=%22love+animals"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">http://www.lds.org/manual/primary-1/lesson-35?lang=eng&query="love+animals</span></a><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">" <span style="color: black;">Lesson 35 in Primary 1 p. 115

Haymond.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Creed was captain of his team
in college and they were getting ready to run an important race. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so important that the coach wanted the
team to drink sherry wine to help their muscles relax. Creed knew it was wrong
to drink alcohol and he looked right in the coach’s eye and said, “I won’t take
it.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The coach didn’t make him drink but
Creed was nervous. Suppose he didn’t do well tomorrow. What would the coach
say? What right did he have to disobey his coach? There was only one reason. He
had been taught all his life to obey the Word of Wisdom. The next morning, Creed
felt great! His teammates did not. They were ill. Many couldn’t even compete.
The college didn’t win overall, but Creed won his first race and then he even won
his second race. (L.

The game spaces are just text boxes with "Windows of Heaven", "Move to the next wallet" and "Move to the next bill" printed on green construction paper. The point is to get as many questions answered, so these make the game go quicker. </td></tr>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Father in Heaven loves you and has given you many
blessings. He asks you to return to Him one tenth of all you earn. The one
tenth you give to the Lord is called tithing. Tithing is used to build up
Heavenly Father’s kingdom on the earth. President Hinckley
learned this helpful poem as a boy, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span class="emphasis1"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What is tithing? I will
tell you every time. Ten cents from a dollar, and a penny from a dime<em>.</em></span></span><span class="emphasis1"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"> (The

<span class="emphasis1"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">So if you have 10 dollars, you give a dollar, if
you have a dollar, you give ten cents. If you have a dime, you give the Lord
one penny. </span></span><br />

Has anyone seen one of these?(Show tithing
envelope) When you pay your tithing, you should fill out the slip, place the
money in the envelope, seal it, print your name on the front of the envelope,
and give it to the bishop or one of his counselors. Taken from Primary 3 Manual

of Central America. President Gordon B. Hinckley was very concerned for the
victims of this disaster, many of whom lost everything—food, clothing, and
household goods. He visited these Saints. The prophet wanted to help them
unlock the windows of heaven as promised by the Lord in the book of Malachi
“President Hinckley taught them that if they would pay their tithing, they
would always have food on their tables, they would always have clothing on
their backs, and they would always have a roof over their heads. (April 2005-
