Sharing Our Blessings



Blessing Bingo Game (Game Pieces, Game Board and Pictures)
Blessings Memory Game

Play a game of “Blessing Squares.” Using either a poster or a chalkboard, make a 5 x 5 grid. In the center square, write “Ps. 100:4.” This square is a “free” square. Have the children look up this psalm and repeat it several times. Ask the children to help you fill in the squares with things that Heavenly Father has given us, such as family or a living prophet to lead us. Anticipate their responses by having pictures of some of the things they will say, such as family members, scriptures, food, animals, etc. (Use Primary picture packets, Gospel Art Kit and pictures in the Friend.) When a child suggests something, have him choose which square to put the picture in. If a child suggests something that you do not have a picture for, let him write the word in a square. As you are making the game, ask a helper to write the blessings on the game board on strips of paper. Put the papers in a basket. When the board is filled in, have the children pass the blessing basket along the rows as they hum “Thanks to Our Father” (p. 20). Randomly stop the music and invite the child who is holding the basket to choose one of the blessings. Cover up that item on the game board. When you have five in a row, either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, sing a song about gratitude from the Children’s Songbook. If your five-in-a-row includes the free square, repeat the scripture together.  For older children: When covering the game board, cover them with twelve letters that spell “thankfulness” in a random order. When the squares are covered, ask the children to unscramble the 12-letter word. [Idea taken from the Sharing Time Suggestion from the November 2006 Friend]

Blessings and Promises by Lynda Whitlock - This simple handout reinforces the CSMP theme with the teachings the children heard in the October 2006 General Conference.  Using a variation in fonts, even the youngest Primary children can be successful in matching the promise to the blessing.
