Use For: Primary Lesson, Family Home Evening, Sharing Time
OBJECTIVE: The lesson helps children realize that taking the sacrament can help them remember the baptismal covenants.
ACTIVITY: Covenant Flip-card
On one side, this flip-card shows: “As I take the sacrament I will remember my baptism promises,” and on the other side shows: “I promise to: Always remember Jesus, and obey the commandments.” Flip it to see children’s steps from baptism to participating in the sacrament as a member of Jesus Christ’s church.
TO MAKE: Print or copy, color, and cut out the activity on cardstock paper. Fold card in half, glue a wooden stick in the center, and glue halfway up. Then glue pictures on top back-to-back. Fun Option: As shown, this teacher inserted a scripture underlining pencil with double-stick tape. Then, children could remove this pencil to underline their scriptures. The sides of the flip-cards were taped also.
THOUGHT TREAT (when appropriate): Promise Cookie or Candy. Press four candies around the outside of a round cookie or just serve four candies. For each candy eaten, have children tell a promise they make at baptism or things they think about during the sacrament.
