Back-to-School

Here are is a fun activity for back-to-school...I have posted this before, but this time I have adapted it to be done with this year's program songs.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES

Fill a backpack with various school supplies.  Attach the saying to each one.  Have a child choose an item from the backpack and then sing the corresponding song.

Glue Stick -  Stick to the Savior’s example like glue.  If you do so, you will always 

choose the right.  

Song: "He Sent His Son" p. 37

Pencil -  The scriptures contain the written words of Prophets.  We can read them to

learn how to return to our Heavenly Father and Savior.

Song: Your song of choice about prophets.

Crayons - Priesthood ordinances and temple work "color" our lives... they bless us and

make it possible for our families to be together forever.  

Song:  Your song of choice.

Sharpener - Stay “sharp” and be in-tune. When you're baptized and confirmed, you 

become a member of the church & receive the Holy Ghost.  He will comfort and

guide you and help you know the truth.  

Song:  "Baptism" p. 100

Eraser - Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can repent and be forgiven of our
sins.  We can "erase" our mistakes! 
Song:  "I Stand All Amazed" p. 193 Hymn Book

Calculator - The best way to “calculate” how to return to Heavenly Father is to follow 
His plan.

Song:  "I Will Follow God's Plan" p. 164

Ruler - Parents and children have important responsibilities in families.  Children can show love to their parents by obeying them and keeping the "rules".

Song:  "The Family is of God" p. 28-29 of Sharing Time Outline

                                   

Scissors - “Cut” things from your life that aren’t pleasing to Heavenly Father.  

Participating in wholesome activities will strengthen you and your family.  

Song:  "Seek the Lord Early" p. 108
