Join us for some student led lesson ideas for Come Follow Me! Junior Primary will be knocking down the walls of Jericho with a scripture friend that can help them remember faith and trust in Jesus. Senior Primary will design an ad for "The Friend" magazine trying to help kids remember the blessings of reading their scriptures.

The last part in the series on Scaffolding- how to help kids achieve higher skills with support. This week we talk about processing time, wait time and giving feedback.

Hell0! This week the Junior primary lesson idea has the kids practicing how to remember to be grateful! They draw or write a thank you card and end class with a gratitude prayer. The senior lesson idea starts off with cool facts about snakes and then acting out the fiery serpent story in Numbers. They then apply the doctrine by writing a fictional story about a kid that has a fiery serpent in their life today.

We dive deeper into scaffolding with examples and more explanations of how it applies to the gospel classroom.

In this week's lesson ideas the Junior primary gets to draw the commandments and place them as road signs and race their cars along the track. Senior Primary plays Commandment charades and then practices responding to a comment from a peer about how commandments aren't cool anymore.

Let's talk about scaffolding! As gospel teachers, we need to scaffold kids' learning experiences in the church and at home to build their confidence. Starting in Primary, we want to support them in small but successful teaching experiences. So they can confidently say, yes! I can talk about a gospel principle to my peers.

Junior Primary will be learning about soft vs. hard hearts and telling stories to their partners with a picture prompt. Senior Primary will be doing a gallery walk to learn about the Passover symbols and how it connects to our sacrament.

Happy Easter! This week because of General Conference, I wanted to re-share one teaching tip I think is a highly essential one for us as gospel teachers to master. Join me next week for a new Come Follow Me lesson idea!

Listen this week for 5 small and simple tips to manage disruptive behavior in your lessons!

Junior Primary this week will be telling the story of Joseph forgiving his brothers with a partner and popsicle sticks. Then they will create a heart drawing that shows how they feel when they forgive! Senior Primary will do a deep dive into the scriptures to understand how Joseph's story is similar to Jesus Christ. They will then teach each other what they learned in a cooperative learning structure, inside/outside circles. It's going to be a great week!
