One of the activities that you can do with your Primary children is to have a class party. A class party is a great way to motivate your students to bring their scriptures. It is also a fun activity to have at the end of the year. You can do this in class or you can do it at your home. If you do it at your home, you should clear the party with the Primary president, and talk to each of the parents beforehand.
If you have a party in class, you can end your lesson early and play games that go along with the material that you have studied during the year. You can have a Jeopardy type game, or hang man. You could also have concentration or another type of memory game. Additionally you can bring snacks for the children to eat. It is important to be aware of any food allergies that your students may have, and then check that the foods you provide are safe.
If you have a party at your house, you can have the kids watch a movie or play games. You can also serve dinner and refreshments. It is important that everyone feel welcome in your class, and at the party. It is important that all of your activities remain appropriate for a church activity. You should stick to a movie that has been approved by all the parents and that you would feel comfortable letting young children watch.
It is also important to plan an activity that fits the age level of the children you are teaching. An in class celebration makes a lot more sense for a Sunbeam class then a party at home. Instead of a party you may opt to send treats home with the students at the end of the year, again it is important to consider food allergies to make sure that everyone can eat the foods that you are providing. You could get a gift instead. The gifts should be small like a coloring book, a small picture of Christ or something similar.
