Jesus invited others to follow Him and was the perfect example to us of how to live and act. What can you do to invite others to learn of Jesus Christ? How can you be an example of Jesus to others?

Watch this video of your Primary friends from the 29th ward talking about ways they can invite others.

For the Little Ones:

Jesus was such a good example to us of including others. Jesus loved everyone! We can follow His example by being nice to people we see, smiling at someone that looks sad, or invite someone to play that is alone.

Suggested songs to learn this month:

“Reverently, Quietly,” Children’s Songbook, 26
“I Am like a Star,” Children’s Songbook, 163
“I Will Be Valiant,” Children’s Songbook, 162

Song of the Month

Music is a powerful tool that can help children learn the Gospel! Here are tips for teaching the Song of the Month.

January - Joseph Smith's First Prayer (Hymns no. 26)

Try putting actions with each line of the song.

February - I Want to Be a Missionary Now (CS pg. 103)

Sing the song to the children, and then repeat but take out a key word, like "missionary" and see if the kids can guess what word belongs there.

March - When I am Baptized (CS pg. 103)

Have the children draw pictures of something that goes with each line of the song. As you sing, have them hold up the picture that goes with each line.

April - Jesus Said Love Everyone (CS pg. 61)

Telephone game - whisper the first line of the song into the child's ear, and have them pass it on to the next child or family member. Continue on until the last person says what they heard. Repeat with the next line and so on.

May - Choose the Right (Hymns, no.239)

Say the words to the song and have the children hurry and stand up and then sit down every time they hear "Choose the Right". Eventually have them sing it with you and see if they can stand up and sit down while singing the words.

June - I'm Trying to Be like Jesus (CS pg. 78-79)

This song is easiest to teach one line at a time. Go through the first line of the song, and have one child or family member choose an action for the others to follow as they all sing the first line of the song (swaying from side to side, rolling arms, etc.). Repeat the SAME line of the song but have someone else choose a different action for everyone to follow. Repeat a couple times until everyone knows the first line, then move on to the next line.
