Playing Primary

The favorite activity for Sunday afternoons at our house is "playing Primary". The girls enjoy reenacting the hours they spend each week at Primary. Sometimes this can be pretty elaborate and it often includes setting up chairs for all of the stuffed animals, little people, dolls, etc. Since I often teach sharing time it is especially interesting to me to hear their interpretations of the lessons. And a large portion of the time is spent doing singing time, of course.

Anwyn has the pattern of our opening exercises down pat. They say the yearly theme, and there are usually one or two birthdays to celebrate. Today, Anwyn actually wrote a talk, to be given by Miss Pig. Here are her words, transcribed.


“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually,” This means that you need to be reverent and not braging. Beeing revrent meens being quiet and thinking about Jesus. Well in this case folding your arms, and bowing your head, and closing your eyes. Braging means that you are saying you are beter then everyone ellse. The scripcher also meens that you shold pray evry morning, and night, and when you can. In the name of Jesus Crist amen. 
  We talked about this scripture in sharing time and in a FHE lesson this month, and I think she has a good understanding of it!

In our primary we have weekly scripture seekers: children take turns sharing  their favorite scripture story. Anwyn completed a scripture seeker sheet for Miss Frog.
A scripcher story I like to read is…When Jesus visidid the nefits.
One thing I lernd from this story is…Jesus loves the little children.
Pleas draw a picher of the scripcher story.
