Goal Development Sports Camp - Learn the Latter Day Saint Primary Program - Primary Activity

 

Teach the Personal Development Program while playing sports! Seems like many are still a bit confused on this new(ish) program that replaced Faith In God. This activity is a great way to teach the program to everyone (leaders included) while being active and hopefully keeping younger kids attention!

The only prep work for this activity is to print these files, hang up them up, but out the inserts and gather sports supplies. 

You will need:

- a soccer ball

- two baseballs

- two footballs

- a basketball 

- a volleyball

- two water bottles 

- gluesticks/tape

- scissors

ACTIVITY ONE

Place lesson posters on a wall or chalkboard with the missing parts nearby. Once a game has been won, a team may choose which lesson piece to unveil and place in the correct place. This does not have to be in order. 

Once all the part of the lesson are unveiled, the lesson should look like this: 

ACTIVITY TWO

“Idea races” Place all the cut up “idea” papers on a table near the lesson posters with tape or gluesticks.  Players must run to the other side of the gym (or backyard or room), return and choose an idea paper and while placing it on the correct category, they must yell it out. The person to place the most until they all run out first, wins. 

Then explain the "My Primary Goals" page and explain how they can choose different goals to work on. This is a handout for the end of the lesson. I recommend laminating this page and getting each kid a dry erase marker so they can continue working on their goals at home. 

Included in this listing is this invitation - comes as four to a page for easy printing :)

Primary Trick Or Treat Halloween Activity - Teach the Latter Day Saint Personal Development Primary Program - Primary Activity

 

HEY Primary Leaders!!

I hope it hasn't been as hard for you getting back into the swing of primary activities as it has been for me! Such a crazy year... but hopefully we can all get back to it!

So I know so many are confused about the new program. I stemmed this activity off of a treasure hunt from a couple years ago (when the new program came out) in hopes to help teach the program not only to the kids, but the leaders too!

For this activity, you can get my files HERE on my Etsy and you will also need: 

-  10 pieces of candy per child

-  1 bag per child (I used brown paper bags) 

-  Tape

-  Bowls to put the candy in

Primary Trick Or Treat - Print one for each child. 

You can set this up anyway you want to really. One option is to have the trick or treaters go from classroom to classroom in a church, you could have them go from room to room of a house or if you would like to get out and have ward members involved (or parents) you could ask them to pass out the candy and travel around a neighborhood. It would just take a little extra prep work to distribute the candy to the homes beforehand. If you do that, I recommend using these included door signs so kids know which houses to go to :)

You will want to put all the candy with the taped candy covers on it in one bowl for each category. So for example, all the candy with "spiritual goals" written on the candy cover will all go in one bowl, behind the "spiritual goals" residence. 

After collecting all the candy (10 pieces total), the children will remove
 the candy cover from the candy and place it on their map. They should be
able to use the same tape that was used to tape the candy cover to the candy. 

And Voila! Hopefully a super fun way to teach the new primary program!.
