Teacher Tip - Scaffolding Part 2

June 1-7: Primary and Youth Come Follow Me Lesson Ideas- Ruth, 1 Samuel 1-7

Both ideas this week for "Come Follow Me" focus on teaching children how to recognize the Holy Ghost. Junior primary has a special guest, a puppet! He helps the kids understand how he feels the Spirit. The kids get to practice identifying what they feel when they sing songs or look at pictures of Jesus around the room. Senior Primary kids will get to choose their own adventure! This lesson is all about them choosing their own path, creativity and following the spirit to teach the class about the principle or doctrine in their resource. In partnerships or groups, they read a scripture or paragraph about the Holy Ghost and figure out how to teach it to someone else. Here are the directions you can print out or write on the board so they can refer to them later. 1. Read the resource with your group. 2. Decide on how to teach everyone else to feel the holy ghost or invite him into our lives to the class- Some options: A poem. A role play. A drawing. A diagram. A song. 3. Make sure each person in your group has a job and participates.

Hell0! This week the Junior primary lesson idea has the kids practicing how to remember to be grateful! They draw or write a thank you card and end class with a gratitude prayer. The senior lesson idea starts off with cool facts about snakes and then acting out the fiery serpent story in Numbers. They then apply the doctrine by writing a fictional story about a kid that has a fiery serpent in their life today.
