GRADUATING TO SUNBEAMS:

I Don't Want To Be Three (Helping Your 3 year old Transition into Sunbeams) - I gave this story to each child graduating into Sunbeams.  I asked the parents to take time during the week to read it to their child.
I'm going to Primary - Melissa Dillon thought it would be cute to give to the children who are “graduating” from Nursery this week.  It's taken from the January 1999 Friend Magazine.

MISCELLANEOUS:

 I made little postcard size cards that read:  "Jesus wants you for a Sunbeam... and so do we.  Welcome to Primary."  Then I attached a CTR ring with some organza ribbon.  Now, I know that they are not CTR's yet, but this way we were able to go and visit each child before they came on Sunday.  (Idea by Tammy Clayton / ga01062007)

MUSIC:

 For the songs suggested for each lesson we make little song books of contact paper.  I cut the paper in half and then fold the paper in half.  I put pictures and words in that they could color.  On the back I put the words of the song along with the page number.  I keep the books so that we can sing each Sunday.  If they forget the words, I have the books for them to look at.  They look forward to it each Sunday.  At the end of the year they will get each of their books to take home.  Each book has their name.

PRIMARY PROGRAM:

 We found a great scripture to use this year. Our 15 Sunbeams are memorizing it and will recite it for our program in the fall. Romans 8:16. "The Spirit itself, beareth witness with our Spirit, that we are the Children of God." (Idea shared by Kathee Merkley / ga02022008)

REVERENCE IDEAS (Specific to Sunbeams):

 An idea for Sunbeams
 CTR Badges by Maria Eckersley
 Have little cut outs of an egg and have them sit on the eggs to keep them warm.  If they get up, just say... "remember to keep your egg warm" at the end of class/singing time, or whatever.  They can hand in their warm egg for a cut out of a chick. It's worked really well! (Idea by Caryn in Atlanta)
 I shared with them the poem "What If" it is from the Friend. I printed off a small mouse and gave them it to put in their pocket.  I brought tape for those who did not have a pocket.  They sat so still so that their mice could see and hear. (Idea by Nicole Richins / ga11152007)
 My son was one of those antsy kiddos who couldn't sit still. His Sunbeam teacher gave him a heavy set of scriptures to hold. I'm not sure why, but it worked most Sundays at keeping him in his seat. The other children all wanted a turn to hold the scriptures but it was his important job...and his alone. She made a big deal about the "hand-off" if he was getting up to participate in Primary, and then asked if he would please hold the scriptures again when he was done. It made him feel special and helped him to be reverent. (Idea by Amber Pace)
 Print off some sunshine's and laminate them.  Tape them to their chairs and tell them to stay on their chairs so their sunshine's don't grow cold.
