Preparation:

Prayerfully study and think about what the specific needs of your primary are and how you can teach them this doctrine. The most important thing is to love those you teach and to teach them by the Spirit!! Focus on building their testimonies and helping them come unto Christ!  (All printables for this sharing time can be found and printed by clicking the "Free Printable Download" button.

Sharing Time Instruction:

Follow up with the primary children with what they learned last week.


Show the week's theme poster and invite them to repeat, "Prophets and apostles show us how to serve"

Explain, that Heavenly Father really loves us! He has given us prophet and apostles to lead us, guides us, teach us, and show us how to live on this earth. One thing they have shown us is to serve.

Today we are going to learn about some of these ways of service that we have learned from apostles and prophets.


In 6 balloons place one of the service examples in each one. (see free download below) On the board have the following pictures: MosesNoahPresident MonsonJoseph Smith, President Nelson, King Benjamin.  

Invite a primary child to come up and try to pop one of the balloons, they can stomp on it, sit on it, or pop it with a pin. After they have popped the balloon, read the example of service. Invite them to choose the picture that it goes with, who showed the service. Discuss how what we can do in our lives to follow their example.

Continue inviting children up to pop the balloons, read the example of service, match to the picture and discuss.

Close by sharing your own testimony about our prophets and apostles examples of service. Encourage the primary children to serve those around them this week.
