I wore an apron and had my largest mixing bowl, a wooden spoon and a variety
of ingredients. When they sang well, I put in a little sugar or flour (or any
of several normal ingredients for cookies). If they didn't do quite so well,
I put in ingredients from the "other" side of the table. Mustard, Hot Sauce,
egg shells, sand, grass & dirt. The Junior kids were a bit distracted by the
idea of dirt in their cookies, but the senior kids sang their little hearts
out. At the end of singing time, I gave the bowl to the secretary and asked
her to go "bake" them in the kitchen. We gave each of the kids a cookie (that
I had made previously) at the end of primary. I even took a taste of the
senior's cookie dough and grossed them out a bit. We worked on Scripture
Power for both. Senior's did the Apostle's and First Presidency to Ten Little
Indians. We talked about how important it is to KNOW that these men are
called of God so when they talk to us in Conference we will have faith to
follow their teachings. I put their pictures up and gradually took down the
names. The kids did better than I did! We sang more fun songs with the
Junior's. Still trying to get those little Sunbeams feeling comfy, so I sang
a lot of the songs we had done in Nursery. The time flew!
