Primary 2 Lesson Helps

I hope these lesson helps are informative. However, they are just suggestions and in no way meant to replace the lesson manual. Rather, my intent is to give you extra ideas in case your lesson runs short or to help add to your lesson. Only you have the inspiration needed to fulfill your calling. Most of the following suggestions come from, or are adapted from, the Friend Magazine, Primary Manuals or FHE Manuals. May you be blessed in your efforts to teach the children about our Savior and His gospel. If you have something that you've prepared and you would like to share it with all of us, feel free to e-mail me at

One of my CTR 6 class members was telling us last week how much their family enjoys playing General Conference Bingo while watching conference. I found this game last week on lds.about.com. I am printing games for my class members on white card stock and game pieces on some color card stock, then sending a set home with each child next week. Some of them plan to color the game cards and surprise their brothers and sisters with them when it is closer to conference time. Since next Sunday is our last one prior to conference, I thought I'd pass this idea along.

I noticed there are a few comments about no ppt for the CTR lesson manual. I have taught in senior primary for the last few years and am still in sr primary this year. Because of the amount of time it takes for me to make each ppt I am not able to make them for the jr primary as well. However, I would be happy to share tips on how I make the ones I do if anyone is interested. Just send an email to me at kitchenparamedic@yahoo.com. I am just a contributor to the site, not the owner. So, I have no access to your email info. Ericka

I have found the power points for the Senior Primary lessons, but don't see them for the Junior Primary lessons. They are wonderful! Are they available yet for Junior? Thanks!

I will be teaching the CTR 7 class this year (2013). My Valiant Class loved the power point presentations done by David Hall & Erika this year.
I hope there will be a resource for this for the junior primary CTR 7 as well. I have used the power point for the 6 year olds when I substituted a couple of Sundays for their class. They were very engaged in the lesson when they could visually see the words and pictures. Such a wonderful site and resource. I so appreciate the work done by David and Erika. Many thanks to both of you!




Frist of all I have to say how grateful I am that this website is available! I have taught in senior primary this year and consistently used the powerpoint presentations...the children LOVE them! In 2010 I will be teaching in junior primary and noticed there are no powerpoints available for those lessons. I think that the younger kids would love them as much or more then the older kids. Is there another resource where PPT's are available? Thanks again to all for the hard work and effort that goes into the work posted on this website.
