Primary: Meet the Teachers

Yesterday we had a Primary activity for all the kids.  The Presidency thought that it would be a good idea to introduce the teachers to their students, before the first Sunday.  That way the children would learn who their  teachers were and where their classroom would be and the teachers got to see what they were in for.

We had a theme of "Lead Me, Guide Me, Walk Beside Me."  We talked about the Lehi's journey in the wilderness and getting the Liahona from God at the beginning with the kids.  We told them how our teachers are going to be like the Liahona this year.  They are going to be leading the children through the "wilderness of life" and if they choose the right, they will be happy.

Then they went on a scavenger hunt to find their classrooms.  We separated them out into age groups, put them with a parent to help read clues and they had a ton of fun hunting around the building for their classrooms and new teachers.

Then they got to play some getting to know you games in their classrooms.

I like to think that it made things a little easier for them today.
