These quotes from Latter-Day Saint leaders all are inspiring as we go back to school. They tell us that we're doing as we gain knowledge + an education is needed in the kingdom of God as well as in this world. I love President Nelson's call to everyone, everywhere, in every circumstance to learn. What we learn is one of the things we take with us to heaven--if a person gains knowledge in this life, he has an advantage in the world to come--D&C 130:19. Wow, this is powerful. It reminds us of one of the core reasons for education: serving others. When we're educated, we can help other lives in addition to our own. This is vivid imagery, and important to apply. Because, if we don't have the key, that would mean doors are locked. This is why President Hinckley also said, "It is so important that you young men and you young women get all of the education that you can." This is great for everyone, taking the pressure of learning. Even living itself is learning if we pause for introspection, right? Anyone at any age, whether they are years before school or years after it, can continue to learn. So... now that you made it to the bottom of the post, I have the promised PDF to share.

Our Primary likes to let the kids play get-to-know-you games with their teachers and each other at the beginning of the year. It is a fun way for the kids to become comfortable with their new teachers! I looked all over the internet for fun games (and there are many) but decided to come up with my own. I have mine printed on 8x11 cardstock and I laminated them so they can be used over and over again. This also looks good printed in black and white, or printed on colored cardstock or paper. You will need a dice and enough markers for each player. (You can use anything...pennies, candies, buttons, etc. We used these CTR circles found here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/122010264/choose-the-right-lds-primary-2017-theme) After purchasing you will receive a PDF download. The PDFs are sized as 8x11. Your local printing store can also print these on 11x16 posters for a very inexpensive price. (about 20 cents each at my printing store, on a shiny card stock.) Other editions of this game: UK LDS Primary Edition: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1293139977/ US Classroom Edition: https://www.etsy.com/listing/547734107/ UK Classroom Edition: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1293131419/ The printed posters from this PDF are for personal, ward and stake use only.

It isn't an easy task to narrow down the list of books written by prophets, apostles, and historians about the Church. The topics are varied and the viewpoints are many. However, there are certain books that have risen to the top and have stayed extremely relevant to readers over the years. We'd like to introduce our ultimate list of must-read LDS classics:
The loud voices. The constant squirming. The screaming. And the crying. Oh, the crying. Every. Week.

So I've seen posts like this a lot on Pinterest lately and have really enjoyed reading talks others have suggested they always add to my scripture study. I love love love conference talks they always give me the added strength I need. I thought I would pay it forward and add my own ten favorite talks. They're in no particular order, I like them all too much to rate them in order! Hope you enjoy (: 1) The Tender Mercies of the Lord - Bednar 2005 https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2005/04/the-tender-mercies-of-the-lord?lang=eng A reminder to me of how much our Heavenly Father will loves us and will send personal, sweet, and special blessings if we choose to follow him. Favorite quote: 2) Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence - Holland 1999 https://www.lds.org/ensign/2000/03/cast-not-away-therefore-your-confidence?lang=eng Of course Elder Holland always gives some of my favorite talks but this one is extra special. A much needed reminder to never give up. The Lord will always pave a way for us, it just may not be the way we expected but that's okay. Favorite quote: 3) We are Women of God - Sheri Dew 1999 https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1999/10/we-are-women-of-god?lang=eng Choosing to center our lives around Christ. Being women in the world but not of it. Favorite quote: 4) Are you the woman I think you are? Sheri Dew 1997 https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1997/10/are-you-the-woman-i-think-you-are?lang=eng A wonderful talk reminding us that it is our job to draw unto the Savior. He is willing to take our hand if we reach for His but we are required to act first. Favorite quote: 5) An High Priest of Good Things to Come - Elder Holland 1999 https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1999/10/an-high-priest-of-good-things-to-come?lang=eng A talk reminding us to always find the silver lining. Even if we cannot see it, God. He knows your fears and hears your prayers. One of my absolute favorite quotes of all time: 6) Beware of Pride - Benson 1989 https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1989/04/beware-of-pride?lang=eng An eye opening talk. You may think you know what it means to prideful but this talk helps you see being prideful is more than you think. Very humbling words. Favorite Quote: 7) Stand Strong Against the Wiles of the World - Hinckley 1995 https://www.lds.org/ensign/1995/11/stand-strong-against-the-wiles-of-the-world We live in a world of growing trouble but as mothers and daughters in zion we have the power and opportunity to influence the world for good. This good work begins in the home. Favorite quote: 8) See The End From the Beginning - Uchtdorf 2006 https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2006/04/see-the-end-from-the-beginning?lang=eng A wonderful talk to really put life in perspective in Uchtdorf's wonderful way. Favorite quote: 9) But if not.. - Elder Simmons 2014 https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2004/04/but-if-not?lang=eng Putting your faith in the Lord. Pouring out your heart to Him, Trusting Him, asking for blessing and knowing "but if not" it will all work out the way it should. Favorite Quote: 10) But For a Small Moment - Maxwell 1974 http://speeches.byu.edu/?act=viewitem&id=1022 Our Heavenly Father has a customized curriculum for all of us. Favorite quote: For more designs be sure to check out the Hadley design page or https://www.facebook.com/hadleydesigns?ref_type=bookmark Message me for your own personal design needs - I would love to be of service ♡

Every month, there are 3 suggested songs to teach the Primary children. Discuss with your Primary President, and other chorister(s), which songs you’d like to focus on for each month. I try to pick one that THEY KNOW pretty well and one that they DON’T KNOW from the suggested songs. Teaching 3 new songs from scratch a month would be a lot for them to learn! So for the 3rd song, I will either sing it during a pick-and-choose Sunday, or as one of the opening songs that month. On the first Sunday of the month, I introduce the NEW SONG (the suggested song that they are unfamiliar with). To make Primary Singing Time interesting and fun and also bring the Spirit, I like to introduce the songs in different ways. I think introducing a song can be the most daunting of Sunday’s! I LOVE repeating songs, doing pick-and-choose activities, and incorporating holiday’s (if you follow our Instagram, it’s packed with those ideas!) But introducing a NEW song seems… I don’t know… boring? I don’t want to lose focus with their short attention spans by just telling them the words and then singing it over and over. So we’ve compiled some ideas as a resource on how to first introduce and help the children learn a BRAND NEW song. One they’ve NEVER heard before. ***With any and every new song, make sure you have the right attitude and prayer in your heart about the message the song will bring. Be enthusiastic, saying something like, “Today we are going to be learning a wonderful song”. You can also explain the words, message and story it conveys. Alright, you’ve waited long enough! Here are the ideas!!!!!! 1-Flipchart or Posters. I pretty much ALWAYS use a poster or flipchart for every song. I feel most children are visual learners and this helps Junior and Senior learn the words through pictures and words. Poster (my preference) Flipchart: (this flipchart is from Finch Family games found HERE) 2-Compound Learning. First, have them LISTEN to the song. This can be played on the piano, your phone through the Sacred Music app, CD, cassette, or Youtube video, etc. Second, let them HUM along to the melody. Third, have them SWAY their bodies (or sway scarves/wands) and hum to the music. Fourth, after showing and explaining the poster board/flipchart, SING the words to them (holding up the Poster or Flipchart). Fifth, have THEM SING along. Sixth, have them use shakers, paper plate drum, or clap/snap the rhythm as they sing along. 3-I sing, You Sing. After explaining the meaning of the song and showing the visual, play the music to the song all the way through. Sing the first line of the song with the piano, have the children repeat. Sing the second line of the song, have them repeat. Put the first and second line together and sing together. Continue on for the whole song. Make sure that before Primary you let your pianist know what you’re planning to do. You could also start with learning the chorus of the song. 4-Guess the Visual. Have the flipchart papers up on the board – all scrambled up and out of their correct order. Sing the first line of the song and have them guess which flipchart paper matches the first line. Continue this for each line of the song and put the flipchart in order. For Senior Primary, you could have word strips of each line of the song (out of order). Sing the first line and have them pick our which word strip is the correct one and have the children put the strips in order as you continue singing the rest of the song. For Senior Primary, you could have word strips of each line of the song (out of order). Sing the first line and have them pick our which word strip is the correct one and have the children put the strips in order as you continue singing the rest of the song. 5-Vanishing Flipchart Papers. For this one, call up as many children as papers you have in the flipchart. Each child holding one paper. Sing the song with children, one flipchart paper at a time. After the whole song has been sung, take away 1 paper and have that child stay standing. Sing the song and point to child as they sing that missing flipchart paper. Continue taking away papers and having them sing the song again until they’re all gone! Keep them up to the challenge using reverse psychology saying things like “Oh no! Can we do it now? (Yes!) Ok, here we go!” or “I don’t know, do you think you can remember this one????” 6-Bubblegum Blobs. For this idea, you’ll need a flipchart or poster hung up on the chalkboard. Sing the song with children (with idea number 2 or 3 on our list above). Tell the children you stepped on some sticky bubble gum on your way to church and thought the gum could help with singing time. Use one pink “gum blob” (pink paper or poster board cut into blob shape) to cover up a part of the song at a time. Sing after each blob is added. 7-Fill in the Blank. Write the words to the song on the chalkboard leaving out a word on each line. So intentionally NOT write some of the words to the song but draw a blank _______ so it can be added in. Sing the first line of the song. Have the children listen and see what the blank word is and fill it in. Continue on for each line of the song. This is a great one to get the children really listening! 8-Disappearing Words (eraser pass). Write the words to the song on the chalkboard. Have the children listen to the song as you point to the words. Next, sing the song with the piano. After, have the Primary sing along. Sing it one more time all together and tell the children to try to remember the words because they are going to start to disappear! As they sing the song, have them pass around the eraser. Whoever ends up with it at the end of the song, gets to erase 2-3 words!!! Sing again and pass the eraser! 9-Use Hand-Actions (or sign language). Sing the first line of the song. Ask the children to think of a hand action to be used for the meaning of the words. Sing the second line and again, ask them to think of a hand-action that would represent the words. Continue on for the whole song and combine all the hand-actions. This is another great idea for getting them to really listen to the words! (You could also sing the whole song together and only do sign language for KEY words). 10- Find It’s Home. Have the words to the song on the board - cut into separate word-strips and in the correct song order. Call up a child and give them a picture that matches up to one of the wordstrips. Have them match that picture to the word strip as you sing each line of the song. Have children sing along as they learn. 11-Picture to Lyric Match. (This one is the harder version of #10 "Find It's Home") Have pictures and song lyrics for each line of the song on the board (like a flipchart, but cut the words out separate from the picture so they’re not together). Sing the first line of the song and have the children try to match the picture to the words. Sing the song over and over until they’re all put in the correct place! 12-Listening Detective. Start by explaining we have a new song case. Listen up detectives!!! We need to find out: Who is it about? What do we learn? How many times does it read “He” or “Love”, etc.? You may want to read the scripture reference at the bottom of the song in the Songbook. 13-Visual Object Lesson. Show a quick visual lesson on what the song is about. Just a quick object lesson before you have them listen to the melody. In the Primary Music Instructions it say’s: For example, the song “Faith” (Children’s Songbook, 96–97) mentions a little seed. You could show the children a seed and talk about how we show faith when we plant a seed; this could lead to a discussion about ways we show faith in Jesus Christ, as described in the song. I also did this for “How Firm a Foundation” years ago. This helps them understand the meaning behind the song. Remember, it’s not just about learning the song and words, but learning and feeling the Spirit. AND now 2 last small tips: 14- Have the Pianist play the song as the interlude so that the children can hear the melody and be familiar with the tune. 15- Find the song in A Children’s Songbook Companion and read what’s suggested! This is a great resource for teaching the songs in the Primary Children’s Songbook. I refer to this book often. Find one HERE. It's seriously been a lifesaver on some Sunday's when I need an idea on how to introduce a specific song! and it also includes visuals on some songs! **Remember! This is the children's FIRST time hearing and learning this song! So don’t feel like a failure if they don’t pick it up right away! As you repeat and repeat this song, they will catch on! Also, remember the purpose is to help draw in the Spirit and let them feel the words and the meaning of the song. Good luck with your introducing your new song! Pray and listen the Spirit as you prepare! You can do this! -iheartprimarymusic
For Latter-day Saints, attending the temple is meant to represent a beautiful communion with God. The House of the Lord offers peace, guidance, and a chance to be nearer to heaven than anywhere else in the world. However, some members of the Church who struggle with mental illnesses can find visiting the temple difficult. Various […]
Great ways to end your next LDS lesson
We have LOVED working on RS Lesson Kits - picking out quotes, coming up with a creative handout for each one; it really has been a cool experience to dive into the lessons that way. Sadly though, MANY of you don't teach RS or are serving in other organizations, but have expressed how you wished you could get the tags to use in your non-RS calling without having to buy each full lesson kit... (since you don't need lesson visuals, word strips, etc). SO... we decided to make a handout/quote bundle for you!! CHURCH HANDOUT BUNDLE As we looked back over the last 12 Lesson Kits, we realized each handout and quote isn't "Relief Society-Centric" at all... these are tid-bits of basic gospel principles that apply to all of us! From prayer and testimony - to resurrection and restoration - to the gift of the holy ghost and being daughters of God... so many AWESOME topics are covered! These tags can easily be used for lessons in any class, organization or activity... or even used as VT drop-bys or maybe there's one that would be just the right nudge of encouragement for someone you love! So, whether you are in YW, Activity Days, Primary, Seminary, Sunday School or RS - this bundle will be a great one to have at your fingertips! Here's a close up of each tag and quote... However you decide to use them - they are now available OUTSIDE the Lesson Kits and come in a bundle of 12 tag/handouts (with suggestions) + 12 quotes on coordinating topics. Each one, of course, derived from the Gordon B. Hinckley Lesson Manual. We'll make a second bundle at the end of the year that will combine all the handouts and quotes she does for July-December.
