On May 2, 2009, the OP 1 ward presented this activity for the primary children. Ironically, this was the last activity with Leanne Hansen, Ruth Campbell, and Lisa Larson serving in the presidency.
We thank these women for their dedicated service on behalf of our children. Richly blessed and thoroughly taught the primary-aged kids were during the tenure of this amazing group of women.
Supplies needed:
Baggie with bandaid, alcohol wipe, FHE budgeting lesson, any materials needed for individual stations, 50 lunch bags, Spofford House donations, 60 items for children’s treats (which they will purchase with $1), stamps for banker to stamp children for making deposit, small candies for bishopric member is give as children hand in tithing, red, yellow, blue stickers to put on children, Bible Stories for Children, Vol. 3 videotape
10-10:15--Opening/Gathering Activity: (place stickers on children as they arrive. Red=Sunbeams and CTR 5, Yellow=CTR 6, 7 & 8, Blue=Valiant 9, 10, 11 & 12 Boys and Girls)
Watch the Parable of the Talents (Chapter 36, Bible Stories for Children, Vol. 3. Explain to the children that Heavenly Father and Jesus want us to take care of the things they have given us: our bodies, our money, our gifts. They also want us to share with others. People in our ward have shared these snacks. We are going to decorate some bags to put the snacks in, then we will give them to the children at Spofford House. The children at Spofford House don’t have families to take care of them. Heavenly Father and Jesus love those children, too. They will have snacks to eat while they study for their tests in school.
Decorate (50) bags for Spofford House for end-of-school year bags. These will be filled with granola bar, hard candy and fruit snacks, to be filled by older children or presidency later.
