Jesus helped others in many different ways. He healed the sick, changed water to wine, and many other miracles.  But, mostly, Jesus looked for little ways to make a difference.  What are some small and even big things you can do to help others?

Jesus wants us to share with others. Can you think of something you can share with someone? What does this mean to you?  It might mean sharing a toy with your brother or taking a treat to a neighbor.  Sometimes sharing means letting someone use something you own, or it could mean telling someone how you feel when you attend Primary.  You can share not only toys and food, but thoughts, feelings and ideas.

Watch this video of your Primary friends from the 18th ward talking about ways they can share with others.  (video coming soon!)


For the Little Ones:  Jesus loved sharing! He shared in many different ways. He loves us and wants us to share with others too. How can we share like Jesus did? We can share our toys, we can share a treat, we can share crayons, or by sharing the gospel.

April 2021- Jesus Included Others


This month, let's focus on how you can include others as Jesus did.

To get started, read this article in the Friend, Jesus Included Others

How can you include others?  Have you ever noticed someone alone and maybe a bit too shy to ask to play with you?  You can ask them to join you. Some kids talk different, or need extra effort to feel included.  Jesus included all people and especially made sure that children received his love and attention.  Make it a goal to look for those who need to be included and find ways to involve them in what you are doing. 

Watch this video of your Primary friends from the 15th ward talking about ways they can include others. 


For the Little Ones:  Like Jesus we can include others! If you see someone who might look sad or lonely think of what you could do to include or help them. We can be like Jesus everyday!
Jesus said “Suffer the little children to come unto me.”

How can you help comfort others?  One way to think of ideas is to simply think about how you like to be comforted. These same ways will probably also comfort someone else.

Don't forget that everyone can benefit from being comforted.  Read the plan shared in the article to help you prepare to comfort others.

For the Little Ones: When Jesus’s friend Lazarus died, Jesus comforted Mary and Martha.
How can you help someone feel comfort when they are sad?
Because Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ can’t be here in person we can serve and help comfort others for them.
