Primary Party

Well, I'm experiencing a lot of firsts around here lately being new in Primary. Tomorrow is our first Primary party - a quarterly thing. We've divided it up into 15 minute segments and we are rotating through them. We figure on 60 people with leaders and children - we'll see. I am in charge of the Parable of the Pickle and I am going to have the children plant bush cucumber seeds. You can find the .pdf here.


The Primary President is in charge of the Articles of Faith section. We want to help them memorize all 13 and the children can earn a box of candy once a year when they pass them off. We are trying to have the children do this without competing with each other. Pass them off without other children around probably. But we want to give them an incentive. We have a struggling ward with wonderful people in it who just need a little boost. Life is, well, life. Anyway, the children will receive a bookmark focusing on the theme "My Eternal Family" (my husband took the photo of the Logan Temple and I made the bookmark) at the end along with a creamie pop and their planted seeds.




There will be relay races and games as well as serious activities such as the Articles of Faith Class, Word of Wisdom, and The Iron Rod obstacle course.

I wanted to share the Candy wrapper (notice this is not a candy bar wrapper - it's for things like Gobstoppers, Runts, Nerds, etc)




So feel free to print, cut, wrap, and glue them to your own candy boxes. If you share this - please give credit where it is due. Fonts are Autumn Leaves HairBrained, Arial, and Arial Black. It is 5.85 x 10 inches and I used Adobe photoshop and Illustrator to design it. I drew the children from an idea I saw online but it's not a copy - I just used the idea as a jumping off point.

I have been a slacker at looking at blogs lately. You guys have been up to fun stuff! How is your garden doing?

I love these Primary ideas. I am going to tell my friend about it if that's okay. You are so creative! Having you in Primary will make it extra fun for the kids, I'm sure.
