Nursery Lessons

Nursery lessons can seem extremely daunting. 
It's hard to keep their attention.
They can't read.
The kids are antsy. 

The key??


) 1 lesson lasts 2 weeks! There are only 28 lessons. This way you reinforce songs and concepts. They will not tire of seeing something familiar. These little ones usually observe the 1st time they see something and ready to participate. 

2) Successful lessons focus on one idea or phrase that you want them to stick with. Ex: "I love to see the Temple", " I can be BAPTIZED!", etc. 

3) Use a few different pieces to your lesson. 

Scripture 
Choose a SHORT one! Have someone hold a picture while you read it.

Song
Again, pick something SHORT and catchy. If needed, just use a portion of the song that gets your point across. 

 Activity 
Something that they can use their hands with. A felt board, puppets....something that is more about application.

Craft
GET AWAY FROM COLORING EACH WEEK! You can still use the coloring page provided in each lesson but try to find different things for them to do with that page.
Ex: Q-tip painting, bingo dabbers, glue sticks with little items to glue, etc.


Stay tuned for ideas for lessons each week!!
