Activity Ideas

Even if you don't receive a physical copy in the mail, the entire magazine is available online. There are activity pages and stories and coloring pages, all kinds of resources available in it. If you see a page in your physical copy of The Friend Magazine that you wish you had for each child, go print one off! It's all there! There are some wonderful activities for this year, including a study of The Living Christ. It's a wonderful resource to pull into your weekly lessons.

New Testament Coloring Book

These are really inexpensive from the Distribution Center. It was cheaper to buy one for each kid then it was to photo copy them. When we use one I just remove the page from the book and put it in the lesson folder. If the back has something that works with another lesson then I take them and put them in that lesson's folder once the kids are done with them. It has a lot of activities and coloring pages that have their associated scriptures listed at the bottom. It makes it really easy to see which lesson they will work with.

Don't Eat Pete Games
To play you cover each picture with a piece of candy. One person is "it" and leaves the room while everyone else decides which picture will be "Pete." The person who is "it" comes back and starts eating candy by picking them up one at a time off of the pictures. When the person who is "it" selects the candy on "Pete's" picture everyone shouts "DON'T EAT PETE!"
You can name each person as you eat the candy on top of them so that you can learn their names while you play.
