Where practical, the Primary may hold activity days for boys and girls
ages 8 through 11. Leaders and teachers use the Faith in God guidebooks as resources for
activity days, supporting the work children and parents do at home to fulfill Faith in God
requirements.
Activity days are held no more than twice each month. They may be held at the
meetinghouse or in a home. As leaders determine the frequency and location of activity
days, they consider the time constraints of the childrens families, travel distance and costs,
childrens safety, and other local circumstances. Leaders ensure that activity days follow the
guidelines in 11.8.1 and in chapter 13.
The childrens Primary teachers conduct activity days unless the bishopric calls separate
activity days leaders.
Activities at the ward, stake, and multistake levels bring Church
members together as {fellow citizens with the saints| (Ephesians 2:19). In addition to providing
fun and entertainment, activities should build testimonies, strengthen families, and foster unity
and personal growth. Activities strengthen members by giving them a sense of belonging and
mutual support. Activities should help members feel connected to others their age, to their
leaders, and to their families. Activities should also help members see how living the gospel
brings {the joy of the saints| (Enos 1:3). Church activities should be planned to fulfill gospelcentered purposes. In addition to the general purposes mentioned above, these include:
1-Participating in service projects that bless others and build community relationships.
2-Developing talents and appreciation for cultural arts.
3-Improving fitness and learning sportsmanship.
4-Gaining education and vocational training.
5-Celebrating special occasions and commemorating Church or local historical events.
6-Developing leadership skills.
7-Developing self-reliance.
8-Participating in missionary work, retention, activation, temple work, and family
history work.
In the old handbook (the new one just came out) we were told to hold a group activity once a year.
That is why most wards have a daddy/daughter and or a mommy/daughter date. They are great for
getting to know the parents and getting everyone to know each other! It is no longer in the new
handbook. But you could do it as your activity for the month.
we have usually planned a Daddy/daughter in the fall and a mommy/daughter in the spring.
Those are
our 2 big activities each year. We have always had great success, and always get non-members to our
activites. You will find that some wards have two leaders for all girls and some have leaders for each
age group 8,9,10,&11.
It just depends on how many activity day girls you have per ward, or branch.
You are always supposed to have 2 female leaders.
1-Prayer
2- Recite motto (which is found on front of Faith in God Book)
3-Work on Articles of faith (with songs or games) (10 to 15 min)
4- Activity
(40min)
5- Fill out folders- Let girls put stickers on things they passed off (5 min)
6- Closing Prayer
7- (Leaders fill out their own folder to keep up/to date records)
**We keep records after every activity in our leader folder because
Faith in god books get lost or are not brought everytime. We give the
Girls each a folder to keep records of but they are kept in a folder bag
that We bring everytime to an activity..
Then when they are old enough to
leave the class, we pass the folder along To the parents or the next
leader, that way everything is up to date!
Please. Please, please go & meet each girl as they come into activity days on
their birthday. We give a small gift/treat and a calendar of when our activities
days are. Bring a faith-in god book, and explain the program if the primary has not
____________________________________________________________________________
