In Primary you will be in a class called The Sunbeams. Can you sing the song “Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam”?

Being a Sunbeam Corliss Clayton, “Being a Sunbeam,” Friend, Jan. 1994, 32 Everyone can be a sunbeam by being cheerful, honest, and kind. Tell your mommy or daddy what you as a sunbeam would do in each of these situations. Mom is busy fixing dinner. You … Watch television. Argue with your sister. Set the table. Your family is having family prayer. You … Reverently pray. Play with your puppy. Fall asleep. You break one of your father’s tools. You … Hide the pieces. Blame your little brother. Tell your father.  

 

I Know the Scriptures are True The 2011 Primary Theme is “I Know the Scriptures are True.” The scriptures are filled with stories of people who followed Jesus Christ. We can learn about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ by reading these stories. Ask your mommy or daddy to tell you their favorite story in the scriptures and then color the picture below of a little boy reading his scriptures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reverence 

To help show your love to Heavenly Father and Jesus, you should be reverent at church and in Primary.  Being reverent means you sit quietly, folding your arms and having quiet feet as you think about Jesus.  Below is a Primary song about having quiet feet at church.   

Two Happy Feet  Children’s Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter­day Saints, 270  I have two happy little feet To take me where I go. They hop me and they skip me, And make a noise, I know. But in my Heav’nly Father’s house So softly do they fall That, though I walk, you cannot hear My little feet at all. 

Trace your foot in the space below to remember to be reverent in Primary:

The Sunbeam Jill Johnson Hymas, “The Sunbeam,” Friend, Jan. 1994, 30

When Heather’s mommy came to get her after nursery, she told Heather she had a surprise for her. “Next Sunday you’re not going to be in the nursery. You’re going to be a Sunbeam in Primary,” said Mommy. “What’s a Sunbeam?” asked Heather. “Sunbeam is the name of your new class. It has a class song, “Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam.” That means that He wants you to make the world brighter by being cheerful and kind,” said Mommy. Heather’s mommy taught her the Sunbeam song, and Heather was very happy that she was going to be a Sunbeam. All during the week Heather thought about being a Sunbeam. She sang the Sunbeam song while she swung on her swing. She sang it to her baby sister and even to her two cats. By the time Sunday came, Heather knew the Sunbeam song by heart. But when sacrament meeting had ended and Mommy was taking her to her class, Heather looked very sad. “I don’t want to go to Sunbeams.” “Why not, Heather?” asked Mommy. “Because I’m scared.” “Heather, think of Who wants you to be a Sunbeam.” Heather thought for a moment. She thought about how excited Mommy and Daddy were that she was going to be a Sunbeam. She thought about her baby sister and her two cats. They had liked it when she’d sung the Sunbeam song to them. Then she thought about the words to the song, and she smiled. “I’ll go to Sunbeams, Mommy, because Jesus wants me to be a Sunbeam.”
