I am excited that this year we will be studying The Book of Mormon. Tomorrow is the first Sunday of the year. I will be introducing heroes from The Book of Mormon throughout the year. Tomorrow we will talk about what a hero is and if we know of any heroes. Here is the outline of my lesson plan tomorrow:
BEFORE PRIMARY STARTS:
Make sure everything is setup before the primary children come into the primary. I have to leave sacrament meeting early some Sundays to be able to setup for primary since there is a ward that meets right before my ward. For this activity, I just had to tape words and pictures up and set my flipchart on the music stand. Anything else I used for the activity I had ready on the little table in front of the primary room.
(I taped the words "WHO'S YOUR HERO?" up on the chalkboard and then taped up pictures of the heroes in the song "Book of Mormon Stories" around the words. You can use chalk and write the words if that works better for you. I then taped up the names of the heroes to the side of the chalkboard.)
Lesson/Activity Plan for Introducing The Book of Mormon:
1. Have the new Sunbeams come up and sing “Jesus Wants me for a Sunbeam”. (I made suns out of yellow poster boards for each Sunbeam to hold. I cut out the middle so they could stick their face through it.)
2. Teach actions to “The Books of the Book of Mormon”. Click on the link below to watch a video of the actions.
3. Introduce the Book of Mormon theme for the year.
Example: "a war
hero"
·
Courage
·
Honesty
·
Integrity
· Honor
·
Respect
·
Kindness
· Patience
Did you know that you can be a hero too?
Choose to be noble and
eventually, you will have heroic qualities too!
So
many things in life are unchangeable, but in this one thing we are allowed
control.
4. Activity:
*Sing the first two verses of “Book of Mormon Stories”. I got some visuals off of a website right here: Book of Mormon Stories Visuals
You do not need the visuals to do this activity.
*Explain to the children that you are going to read a short
story about a Book of Mormon hero and then they will try to guess who the hero is in the story.
*Sing the verse in "Book of Mormon Stories" that correlates to the hero in the story. The first story is about Alma the Younger, so you would sing verse three of “Book of Mormon Stories” since verse three has to do with Alma the Younger.
*Continue with the next story, which is about Abinidi, and once the children guess who it is then sing the fourth verse which has to do with Abinidi, and so forth.
