For experienced Activity Day leaders, this is a great reminder and for new Activity Day leaders, this is great information! Took this straight from the church website.
“Creative, innovative … activities can be stimulating and fun, but … every lesson, every meeting, and every activity should be focused on bringing these little ones to Christ.” —M. Russell Ballard
What might I consider in planning activities?
Prayerfully consider the individual needs and interests of the children.
Counsel with the Primary presidency, families, and children.
Ensure that activities accomplish gospel-centered purposes.
Have you thought about …
What can help children and their families accomplish the Faith in God requirements?
How can I get to know each of the children?
How can the activities strengthen each child’s faith in Jesus Christ?
How can the activities help the children understand and keep their baptismal covenant?
What can I do to help the children prepare to go to the temple?
How can I help the children gain a testimony of the power of the priesthood in their life?
