Primary Moments

Since I was called as Primary President several months ago, I have written down funny or touching moments that have happened in Primary. Here are a few. Enjoy!

During Junior Sharing time, the teacher held up a heart and asked what it means. After the kids shouted out "Love!", one of the 5 year olds reached over and hugged the girl that was sitting next to her.

During a sharing time activity, kids were being selected to come up to the front and participate. When Malakai, a Sunbeam, was asked to come up, he was very slow to get out of his chair. One of his fellow Sunbeams impatiently shouted out, "Get up, Malakai!" Everyone laughed.

One day the kids were feeling kind of restless, so we announced that we were going to sing a "wiggle song." One of the 7 year old boys slumped down in his chair, folded his arms across his chest, and declared, "I hate wiggle songs. They're for babies!" (Well, I guess that makes me a baby, because I got out of my chair and did the Snowman song with the rest of the kids.)


The Sunbeams were picking pieces of paper that had pictures on them of blessings we can ask for when we pray. One of them was a picture of a smiley face, and the teacher asked them what it was. They looked confused, and one boy finally ventured a guess... "An apple?"

While trying to explain the Plan of Salvation, the teacher was putting visuals on the board and asking the kids questions about them. She started with a circle that had "Premortal Life" written on it and asked them if they knew what the premortal life is. An eager Sunbeam raised her hand, and when called on proudly declared "It's a circle." At the end of the same lesson, the teacher had three circles representing the three kingdoms in heaven. On the circles were a sun, moon, and stars. Pointing to the sun, she asked "What is the celestial kingdom like?" (looking for the answer "the sun"). One kid called out, "the best!" Well, I guess that's right...
