2018 Primary Theme | I Am A Child of God

2018 PRIMARY | I Am A Child of God
If you are LDS and happen to be in a Primary Presidency, 
I have some new products for you to help you get ready for the new year!

 

I AM a part of my ward’s Primary Presidency and I’m so excited about these posters that I created for the upcoming new year! This is my fourth year preparing for the Primary and I really enjoy creating for these great themes!

This year’s theme especially has a special place in my heart. I know that we are all children of a Heavenly Father and he loves us so much!

If you are in the Primary, you know that each month we have monthly themes that go along with the yearly theme, plus monthly scriptures. Many wards, including my own, like to display posters with the month’s theme on it! 

We love the big 16×20 posters but I also have 8×10 posters if that is easier for your Primary room! We actually use the big posters in our Primary room and the smaller posters on a bulletin board in the foyer of our church!  This year, I have also created a svg file for my I Am A Child of God lettering. You can purchase these now in my store. I’m hoping to create a few more items to help with bulletin boards and such, but I haven’t gotten them done yet. So please email me or comment and let me know what you need and I’ll get creating!

http://www.designzbydede.com/store/I-Am-A-Child-of-God-p96547618
And here’s a couple of “finished” examples so you can see what it could look like. All the photos I used for my posters, I found on LDS.org and just downloaded them and put them in the frame. So if you purchase my posters, you will download them and then stick your own choice of images in the blank slots!
     

I really hope you can use them! 
I would really love to hear what you think!


Sharing my recent product releases, so that you are in the know!

Primary Sharing Time | Covenant Keepers

I know this is last minute, but I thought I would share my plan for tomorrow’s Primary Sharing Time (I serve as second counselor in my ward’s Primary Presidency.) Hopefully in the future, I can maybe share some lesson plans here on my blog ahead of time! I hope you can use this.

This year in my Primary, we are using the monthly CTR Challenges from The Friend Magazine. The CTR Story, Cracking the Code, in the current issue really touched my heart and I wanted to share it with my Primary kids, so I based my whole sharing time lesson on it.

COVENANT KEEPERS

PREPARATION:

  • Read Mosiah 18:10 and Ezekiel 44:14, the CTR Story, and the following points in the lesson.
  • You will need to print and cut-out a CK 24/7 Shield for each of the children.
  • During the welcome/opening and/or music time, you will need to observe the children in your Primary and find a few children that are showing kindness, reverence, compassion, obedience, or any other covenants/commandments/principles that you can pick out and share in the lesson.
  • On the chalkboard, draw blank lines representing the letters in the words, COVENANT KEEPERS.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _    _ _ _ _ _ _ _

LESSON:

  • Hand each child a CK 24/7 Shield and ask them: “Can you crack this code? What do you think it means?” Give them a moment to think about it.
  • Show the kids the blank lines on the board. Tell them the first word can be found in Mosiah 18:10 and the second word can be found in Ezekiel 44:14. (For Jr. Primary, have a leader/older child read the verses out loud and have the children raise their hands if they think they know the word. For Sr. Primary, have them read the verses in groups and see which group can crack the code first!) Then explain what 24/7 means (all day, every day). Fill out the lines on the chalkboard when they crack the code!
  • Discuss what a covenant is (A two-way promise between a person and Heavenly Father).
  • Discuss baptism and how it is one of the first covenants that we make.
  • Share with the children that you were spying on them and you noticed a few times that the children kept their covenants and/or were examples of specific principles of the gospel. Share your observations. (Example: Jimmy was REVERENT and really listened, as Sarah gave her talk in Primary.)
  • Point out that we keep our covenants every day, when we show love and take care of each other the way Jesus would. After we are baptized, we will have specific promises to keep (to take upon you the name of Jesus Christ, to always remember Him, and to obey His commandments) and we can work each day on fulfilling those promises. But even before we are baptized, we can choose the right and keep the commandments and then the Holy Ghost can be with us to help us. As we keep our promises and strive each day to be covenant keepers, we will be training our minds and our hearts how to understand the Spirit and how to make the right choices. This helps us be prepared to go to the temple, where we can learn to make new covenants. And when we do all this, we will get stronger and stronger, each day that we keep our covenants.
  • End with your testimony.

2017 Primary Theme | Choose the Right

2017 PRIMARY | Choose the Right
So if you are LDS and happen to be in a Primary Presidency, 
I have a freebie for you today and additional files for purchase!

 

I AM a part of my ward’s Primary Presidency and I’m so excited about these posters that I created for the upcoming new year! This is my third year preparing for the Primary and I didn’t think I could top last year’s, but I really like this year’s too!

If you are in the Primary, you know that each month we have monthly themes that go along with the yearly theme, plus monthly scriptures. Many wards, including my own, like to display posters with the month’s theme on it! 

We love the big 16×20 posters but I also have 8×10 posters if that is easier for your Primary room! We actually use the big posters in our Primary room and the smaller posters on a bulletin board in the foyer of our church! The files are large because of the high quality .jpg files! I am also including .pdf files, in case that is better for you.

DOWNLOAD 1 | DOWNLOAD 2 | DOWNLOAD 3
DOWNLOAD 4 | DOWNLOAD 5 | DOWNLOAD 6
DOWNLOAD 7 | DOWNLOAD 8 | DOWNLOAD 9

I also have a couple other files available to purchase.

The first one, is the same files as the freebie downloads, EXCEPT that the images are not there and you can customize the posters with your choice of imagery!

PURCHASE

And I’m excited to offer you an additional resource to your Primary. My primary will be using the Friend’s CTR Challenge each month and adding on to that – I have created a couple of other posters as well as some fun Boy and Girl Armor of God/Shield of Faith Characters that we will be using throughout the year to support the theme!
PURCHASE

I really hope you can use them! 
I would really love to hear what you think!

Today was Beth’s first day as a Daisy Girl Scout. She was so excited to participate and get her uniform. I hope it is something she will enjoy! We all went to her special Investure meeting tonight where she received her daisy pin.

Today was Veteran’s Day. I’m so blessed to live in this country and I honor all those wonderful people who serve the United States of America. I really loved seeing all the flags flying as I drove Beth to school.

I’m so grateful for afternoon kindergarten. Mornings seem to be getting harder and harder for me so its nice to be able to go back to bed after JJ gets off to school. I’ve also enjoyed having some one-on-one time with Beth after I get back up – with lunch, conversation, and our drives to her school!

We had practice for the primary program this afternoon and the kids did pretty good. They loved the pizza party afterwards and then they got to play in the leaves before Aaron and Joey got them raked up and put away. It’s fun to see them enjoy the simple things.

The Primary program was today. Beth did a fabulous job on her part. JJ did okay – at least he got up there and tried – he was really nervous and you couldn’t understand what he said, but glad he did it anyways. The primary music still touches me and it was nice to listen and join in now that I am a primary teacher.
