★★★ 2017 AVAILABLE HERE! ★★★ MORE LDS PRIMARY PRINTABLES {HERE} I'm so excited about this printable!!! {My poor husband... I've made him listen to me and look at it all week!} This is the first planner/calendar I've designed and it certainly won't be the last! I specifically created this one for Primary Presidencies to use each month as they plan, organize and juggle all of their responsibilities. After digging through a year's worth of meeting agendas and notes (and consulting with some super cool people)... I began sketching the layout last October and am THRILLED it's finally ready!! I have tweaked, adjusted, fixed, fussed and redone it until it was perfect. Well... perfect for how I think about, organize my thoughts and manage my calling in Primary and I hope it works for many of you too. I've been super excited to share it on my blog - and even more excited to give it to my Presidency this weekend! Here's how it works... each month has a two page planning spread and I've hopefully made a space for nearly every aspect of running an efficient Primary. Everything from staying on top of baptisms and advancements to specific needs in classes, Cub Scouts, Activity Days and music. There's even a reminder to turn in expenses, a spot to record who/what to pray for, thoughts/ideas for the current month, and plans for next. Monthly scriptures and themes + Sharing Time assignments, to do lists and more. There is also an annual calendar in the front, with mini monthly calendars on each 2 page spread for easy reference. I added several blank pages to the end before I had mine bound to make extra space for general notes, planning and special projects. Take care when you print as you'll need to print double sided for it to function like a planner. When you hit print, look through your print options/properties and choose double sided or duplex printing. Your printer will print odd pages first, prompt you to reload the printed paper, then will print even pages on the back. I kept the cover page as a separate document so it wouldn't confuse the printer. I printed the inside pages all on regular white paper, but printed the cover sheets on card stock.

Many things happen in life and some Scouts may not be ready. Find here how to better prepare those kids that are afraid.

I'm getting so excited to start this new adventure as a Cub Scout den leader this month! I'm excited about helping to be ...

Are your awards presentations a "baggie & a handshake?" If so, you'll want to watch this video of a presentation that was a hit with our pack!

This is a simple review game that you can do for singing time!!! Here's a link for the game pieces from one of our favorite blogs! You can draw the grid on the chalkboard or draw one on poster board. The object of the game is to get 3 in a row AND to find out how well the children KNOW the program songs! This is how you play: Divide the children into two teams. (One is the X's and one team is the O's) Choose a team to go first and have one child pick a number. Each number will have a question about a program song. Ask the question and then if they get it right they get the square. If they don't know the answer they can ask their team :) After the question is answered sing that program song. Here are some sample questions for Junior Primary: 1 - What do I like to look for whenever there is rain? (Rainbows) 2 - As a Child of God what do I receive? (special light/ Holy Ghost) 3 - Is there someone on your team wearing a piece of jewelry with 3 letters that help us make right choices? And what are the 3 letters? (CTR ring/tie tac/bracelet/necklace. Choose the Right) 4 - Name Nephi's 2 older brothers. (Laman and Lemuel) 5 - Who built his house on a rock? (the wise man) 6 - What are the words our Prophet has for you? (Be True and Stand for the Right) 7 - Who am I trying to be like? (Jesus) 8 - If the Savior stood beside you, what would you say? (kind and true words) 9 - What are the Primary colors? (Red, Yellow, Blue) and here are some for Senior Primary: (because if your senior primary is anything like mine, they are SMARTY PANTS :)) You can give them hints if they need to know which Program Song it is from. 1 - How can you strengthen your family? (by my good works) 2 - What does the lord ask us to do with the commandments? (obey them) 3 - When in the right, what does your heart do? (confides) 4 - What happened to the house on the sand? (washed away) 5 - How many times do we sing Be True in Stand for the Right? (4) 6 - How does the Still Small voice speak to us? (whispers) 7 - Why do you want your life to be as clean as earth right after rain? (to live with God again) 8 - Though you cannot see the Savior, how often is He near? (always) 9 - What does yellow stand for in the song Our Primary Colors? (service) HEY YOU!!! Getting ready for your BIG DAY???? (the Primary Program?????) You might also like to check out our 10 WAYS TO ADD VARIETY to your Primary Program HERE.

We know little of the fathers of Helaman's army of 2000 young men, but if we read more closely, we will see a very good example of fatherhood.

My son Max is working on a few requirements for Webelos. I am amazed at how many pledges, promises, and oaths he has to recite for Cub Scouts. I decided to put them all in one place–partly so that Max

Recently we put together family home evening kits on the First Vision, helping to pass off teaching a family home evening on the first vision in the Gospel Living Section of their Faith in God book…

I have been so very busy this week, but haven't been able to finish a single thing. Ever have one of those weeks? This is definitely mine. We did get to go to pack meeting Wed. night and had a blast. Eli earned his Webelos Readyman Activity Badge and was recognized for his acheivement. The topic for our Pack meeting was compassion. Our fabulous Cub Master planned several activities above and beyond. I thought some of you out there might be interested. There was the blindfolded puzzle competition. A scout and their dad (this isn't Eli's dad-we found a substitute since Scott was working) tried to put a puzzle together blindfolded with the supportive shouts of instruction from fellow scouts. This activity taught that we need to help each other, and when we have shortcomings, we can accept help from others to overcome. Next was the hand-less face painting. Eli got to paint his Webelos leader's face, lucky guy :0) The only rule was they couldn't use their hands. You can imagine how crazy the scouts were for this activity, also a lesson in compassion. Here is Eli getting his ReadyMan... And here is Eli getting the pin that comes with the ReadyMan. Our Cub Master put all the pins and beltloops inside of balloons and had the boys throw this... "The Death Star" at the balloons to pop them. That's my boy! Popped it on the first try!!! See, here's the pin :0) Don't you just love the glop of paint on his forehead? What a fun night. The kids love it so much when their leaders take their job to the next level. We really have been so lucky to have so many wonderful scout leaders.

Although the picture shows the quarterly activity as being a requirement for the religious square knot, the actual PDF has been updated and lists the 12th article of faith as the requirement for the religious square knot. If anyone has any other tracking sheets for the Religious Square Knot for any other religions, I'd be happy to post it on this site also Click here to contact me. I just happen to have this one, so I am posting it now. This is a tracker for the Faith in God program for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The requirements in red are the requirements that need to be done to earn the religious square knot. I have also done a tracking sheet for girls (below) if you need that one. FOR BOYS FOR GIRLS I like to add the date in between the square you check off & the wording so I know when they completed it. I always print this tracking sheet on cardstock, and I print one for each boy to be kept in my leader binder next to their tracking sheet for Belt Loops, and Age Group (wolf, bear, or webelos). I keep a different tab in my binder for every boy. Behind each tab, I keep all 3 tracking sheets (Age Group, Belt Loop, Religious Award). Then I have complete information on each boy and it is quick and easy to find. It helps to do it this way if you do one requirement one week and a different one other weeks. Not every boy is there every week. By doing this, I can always know where each boy is at, and it is all in one place. I keep a roll, and next to the roll I write down what we did that week, and then every couple of weeks I update all the tracking sheets for every boy. If the parents ever have questions, I always have a place to look back at on the roll, and I can always copy each tracking sheet to show them where their boy is.

(Question ideas are below) Begin class on the floor with all the kids and you in a circle, roll or gently toss the ball whatever question their right thumb (right hand/left pinky, etc) that's what they answer. Jenga On the blocks, write questions to get to know the kids (Question ideas below), set up the game on the table, have the kids and you take turns picking out the blocks and answer the question on them.

A fun Activity Day Idea playing broom hockey and then an ice cream party to reward them for memorizing the Articles of Faith

I hope and pray that you can use these ideas as a guideline and adjust them to the needs of your own specific family. Our prophet President Monson says, "We cannot afford to neglect this heaven-inspired program. It can bring spiritual growth to each member of the family, helping him or her to withstand the temptations which are everywhere. The lessons learned in the home are those that last the longest." On Lds.org there are resources available in helping to make your Family Home Evenings successful, here is a link to that site on Family Home Evenings. For tonight's Family Home Evening the topic in which I have chosen is: Heavenly Father gives us Talents to Share with others (Passing off Cub Scout Art Belt Loop) It is really quite amazing if you think about it, all of the gifts our Heavenly Father gives to each of us. The great thing is, is that he doesn't give the same gift or talent to every person. We each have our individual talents. Why is this so great? Well, I believe it is great becasue we are able to share our talents with each other, to help each other, to teach each other. I am grateful for the gifts I have been given and very grateful for the way other people's gifts/talents have blessed my life. Welcome everyone to Family Night Sing: ""Give," Said the Little Stream" Children's Songbook 236 Have a member of the family member say the prayer Discuss any family business Follow-up with last weeks FHE. Introduce this weeks Topic: Heavenly Father gives us Talents to Share with others (Passing off Cub Scout Art Belt Loop) Scripture: Read and Mark: D&C 60:13 Article of Faith: #3 "We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel." Repeat this Article of Faith as a Family. Help each family member to understand the meaning. Help each family member memorize the Article of Faith. Before FHE, ask each family member to come to FHE with a talent they would like to share. If member's are having a hard time discovering their talent, help them by pointing out what you think their talents are. Pretend you are an announcer. Say, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I welcome you to the first (insert your families last name here) family Talent Show. I would like to introduce our first talented performer, (insert family member's name here)." Let the family member introduce what their talent is and then let them share their talent with the rest of the family. Continue with each family member. Thank each family member for their participation. Play the video "Matt and Mandy: Developing Talents". Discuss with your family how great it is that our Heavenly Father has given us each talents or gifts. Discuss ways we can work to develope our talents. Below are some things we can do to help us develop our talents: "First, we must discover our talents. We should evaluate ourselves to find our strengths and abilities. Our family and friends can help us do this. We should also ask our Heavenly Father to help us learn about our talents. Second, we must be willing to spend the time and effort to develop the talent we are seeking. Third, we must have faith that our Heavenly Father will help us, and we must have faith in ourselves. Fourth, we must learn the skills necessary for us to develop our talents. We might do this by taking a class, asking a friend to teach us, or reading a book. Fifth, we must practice using our talent. Every talent takes effort and work to develop. The mastery of a talent must be earned. Sixth, we must share our talent with others. It is by our using our talents that they grow (see Matthew 25:29)." (Chapter 34: Developing Our Talents. Gospel Principles, (2011), 196–99) Give each family member the Developing talents printable below. Have them fill it out and work on developing a talent throughout the month. Explain how there are many different talents. There are talents that we can see easily, such as talents of playing an instruments, singing, drawing, being good at sports, etc. There are also talents that are not seen so easily, such as talents of being a good listener, making friends easily, peacemaker, being able to teach, being a good learner/student, having patience, being able to look at the good in people and things, etc. Each talent is special and can bless others lives when we share it. Explain to your family that you are going to work on a talent tonight as a family. The talent is that of art. Start by showing your family members some art pieces. Some of these might include some of the drawings in the Media Library on LDS.org. Discuss the elements of design: lines, circles, dots, shapes, colors, patterns, textures, space, balance and perspective. As a family, "Make a list of common materials used to create visual art compositions." (Cub Scout Art Academics Belt Loop). The list could include: Water color paint, Colored Pencils, Acrylic Paints, Oil Paints, Chalk, Charcoal, Pencil, Clay, Wood, etc. Next, "Identify the three primary colors and the three secondary colors that can be made by mixing them. Show how this is done using paints or markers. Use the primary and secondary colors to create a painting." (Cub Scout Art Academics Belt Loop). See printable below. Lastly, "Demonstrate how six of the following elements of design are used in a drawing: lines, circles, dots, shapes, colors, patterns, textures, space, balance, or perspective." (Cub Scout Art Academics Belt Loop). Give each family member a piece of paper and some colored pencils. Have them draw something using the elements of design, listed above. Bear your testimony about how Heavenly Father has given us each talents to develop and share with others. Close with a Family Prayer.

I am looking for help to make new parent information sheets. Anyone interested in helping me with this? I just need help researching, but I will type up the new one. Please? Certain WEBELOS Cub Scout requirements need to be done at home with the family. Here is a list to give parents of things they do at home with their Webelos Scout. There are certain things in the book that a Cub Scout Leader can not do with their scouts, and it gives parents a place to start when they want to help their son pass off some requirements.

Today we talked about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego and bravery. You can download this Scripture Hero Chart here. My boys have had a hard time with their names so they have referred to them as "the three cool guys". We watched the LDS Scripture video 42. The Golden Seven has an FHE lesson about them and a couple of videos that my kids enjoyed. We used A Year of FHE's lesson and printable that the boys colored, cut out, and pasted to the fiery furnance. Somedays trying to get a decent picture of the three of them together just doesn't happen...

Monkey, Monkey, Tiger - (play this like Duck, Duck, Goose) Elephant Soccer – Boys from a circle with legs wide apart and their arms hanging down in front of them, with hands clasped together to form a trunk. Leader rolls a ball across the circle trying to get it between a boy’s legs. Boys must try to keep ball in the circle, using only their “trunks” to control the ball. Loose at the Zoo - Make cards with names of different animals (have several children assigned to each type of animal). Mark two parallel lines on each side of the gym. Select two players to be the zoo keeper. The rest of the boys are the zoo animals. Give each of the zoo animals a card with the animal they will pretend to be in the game. Zoo animals hide their identity from the zoo keepers. The zoo keepers stand between the lines while the other players stand behind one of the lines. The zoo keepers patrol the zoo (play area), walking back and forth between the lines, and making sure there are no animals loose in the zoo. At the same time the zoo keepers must shout out the names of the different zoo animals. Players whose cards match the animal names called out must run to the opposite side of the play area before the zoo keepers tag them. Any boy who is tagged must freeze instantly. Other boys run around the frozen animals. Any boys who make it across stand at the line for the next round. The game is over when all the animals are frozen. The very last zoo animal to get caught is the winner. Creative option- Instead of having the boys who were tagged freeze, let them become assistant zoo keepers and try and help tag the animals that are still free.

One of my Visuals. We are continuing to "EXPLORE" the various attributes of the FRUIT of The Spirit. The children are really excited about this topic. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, I decided to do an "extension" to last weeks lesson. We are going to have different lesson for every attribute....but, because so many of my students are out of town, I did not want to proceed forth into the LOVE lesson. I did not want them to miss any of the lessons on the individual attributes. My students will be making a "Fruit of The Spirit" fruit basket as their Take-Home project. I think they turned out very cute...They will color and glue the basket together and then add "paper fruit" and the Fun Foam Fruit as well. For their "Explorer Journal" activity the kiddos will be making a Fruit of The Spirit Puzzle. The will add the puzzle pieces to make a complete apple. My focus with them is going to be that we have to have ALL the attributes to have a COMPLETE fruit...If we are missing any of the attributes we are NOT completely the way GOD wants us to be...so, we need to improve, change or add the attributes we are missing. Completed Fruit of The Spirit Puzzle. Our Review Game for this week is a Bean Bag Game...The kiddos will answer a question from the lesson and then get the opportunity to throw a bean-bag at the "Toss-A-Cross" game...They will then have to answer the question that they turn over with their bean-bag. My students LOVE to throw bean-bags...so, I know they will LOVE playing this game. (BTW, the game was made from a old Toss-A-Cross game, that I purchased at a yard sale for 50 cents. Always keep your eye out for things you can re-purpose for Bible Class.)
