Mother’s Day Service: Youth Teach Primary

I accidentally got cc’d on a unit’s service activity email list for a youth service activity: teaching Primary for Mother’s Day so that the women can attend Relief Society. I’m sharing it here without last names so you can use it as a template to plan a similar event in your area.

I always like this event when it’s done in our unit — it provides fellowshipping and a break for female Primary teachers, and it gives youth leadership and teaching experience. It’s a win-win.

I like how they let the youth know how many children are in their classes, the room number, who they’ll teach with, and the lesson number.

***** I’ve never seen it done before, but wouldn’t it be nice to do the same thing for male Primary teachers on Father’s Day, too? *****
