Primary Meet Your Teacher Pajama Breakfast
We did this at the beginning of the year. Kids, parents and teachers came to breakfast in PJ’s. We introduced the year program. This year Dora the Explorer was exploring the Book of Mormon as well. Had handouts to the parents, of their responsibilities. Kids saw their Primary room. Bishop gave a talk in his PJ’s, and it was a…
Remembering the Birth of our Savior
Last Christmas we had a wonderful activity to help us remember the birth of our Savior at Christmas time. Only a few leaders knew what was going on.

Our unit collects the cards in a box in the foyer that is decorated and…
New Member/Inactive Welcome
Have the youth make cookies or assemble treat bags to take around to new members of your ward/branch or to inactive members of their class. We’ve also done this as a ‘kidnapping’ where we notify the youth’s mother ahead of time, show up after opening exercises, blindfold the less-active youth, and take him/her to the park for games and treats.…
