INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHARING TIME AND THECHILDRENS SACRAMENT MEETING PRESENTATION

Throughout the year keep notes of individual childrens

talks and experiences for possible use in the presen-

tation. Primary teachers may also give to the Primary

presidency personal experiences the children share in

class about temples and how they are preparing now to

receive all the blessings of the temple.

Plan to use a variety of methods in the presentation.

You could include talks, scriptures, personal experiences,

individual or group recitations, and testimonies.

In presenting the music, you may include the entire

Primary chorus, older and younger childrens choruses,

child soloists, duets, small groups of children, the con-

gregation, and appropriate instrumental

accompaniments.

Plan practices that will not take unnecessary time away

from classes or families.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHARING TIME

Sharing time is a 30-minute period that allows children

of combined age-groups to participate in activities and

sing songs that teach gospel principles. Members of the

Primary presidency plan and present sharing time.

They teach using the principles in the outline for sharing

time. The music leader should teach the recommended

songs that support the yearly objective as well as otherPrimary music.

Advance Planning for Sharing Time

Study this document before the year begins. Prayerfully

consider the yearly objective and the needs of the

children in your Primary. Consider how you can teach

the children the gospel of Jesus Christ and help them

learn to live it as you plan to accomplish the objective

of the outline.

Counsel with the bishop or branch president about

how to strengthen each childs desire to receive all the

blessings of the temple and live worthily to go there

someday.

In your presidency meeting, plan sharing times one

month in advance.

One sharing time a month should be a class presentation

INTRODUCTION

THIS document includes a message from the Primarygeneral presidency, guidelines for the sacramentmeeting presentation, and the instructions and outline

for sharing time.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRIMARY PRESIDENCY

What a blessing it is to hear the children sing: I love to see the

temple. Im going there someday. The temple is a place of love

and beauty. This year as a Primary presidency you have the

opportunity to teach each child that a temple is literally the house

of the Lord. In temples we are taught about our Heavenly Fathers

plan for us, and we are sealed together as families for eternity.

Each child can begin now to prepare to go to the temple by

increasing his or her faith in Jesus Christ, learning to recognize

and follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost, and keeping the

commandments. Share with the children your feelings of joy and

peace that come from attending the temple. May the Lord bless

you as you love, teach, and strengthen His children.

The Primary General Presidency

GUIDELINES FOR THE SACRAMENTMEETING PRESENTATION

In the childrens sacrament meeting presentation duringthe fourth quarter of this year, the children will share what

they have learned from the outline The TempleIm

Going There Someday. The childrens sacrament meeting

presentation is planned and prepared by the Primary

presidency, under the direction of the bishop or branch

president, and should be no more than 40 minutes long.

The presentation should follow Church policies and

guidelines for sacrament meetings (see Church Handbook of

Instructions, Book 2: Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders [1998],

237). The following guidelines will also help in planningthe sacrament meeting presentation:

Meet with the bishop early in the year to discuss the

objective and obtain his approval for preliminary plans.

Obtain his approval when the plans are finalized.

Plan for the children to present the program based on

the monthly sharing time themes using their own

thoughts, feelings, and words as much as possible. (see the Sharing Time Planning Worksheet).

Planning Weekly Sharing Times

Seek inspiration as you plan weekly sharing times using

the outline.

Include the music leader in your planning. Music should

be used throughout sharing time. Counsel together as

you choose songs that will support the gospel principle

you are teaching. Half of sharing time should be usedfor singing.

Identify the weekly gospel principle you will teach. Ask:

1. What do the children need to understand about this

gospel principle?

2. What should happen in the lives of the children as a

result of this sharing time?

Discuss ways you can teach the principle and involve

Determine which member of the presidency will teach

each weekly sharing time. Plan sharing times for the coming month using the

SYMBOLS KEY

The following symbols and abbreviations are used

throughout the outline:

inspiration you receive as you decide how best to

involve the children in learning activities during

sharing time. Other ideas can be found in the

scriptures; the Primary manuals; the Childrens

Songbook; the Friendespecially the Sharing Time

page; Teaching, No Greater Call (TNGC); and other

Church-produced materials.

*GLOSSARY

Children may have difficulty understanding some of the

words associated with the temple. The following defi-

nitions may help the children better understand these

words, which are used throughout the outline:Covenant: an agreement or a promise between Heavenly

Father and His children.

Dedicate: to give a completed temple to the Lord as His

house. This is done in a special prayer.

Endowment: a spiritual gift or sacred ordinance given

to worthy members in the temple. The endowment

includes instructions we must receive to return to

Heavenly Father: it reviews the purpose of life, the

mission and Atonement of Jesus Christ, and Heavenly

Fathers plan for His children.

Ordinance: a sacred religious act that is essential to

exaltation in the kingdom of God.

Recommend: a certificate that identifies a member of the

Church as worthy to enter a dedicated temple.

OUTLINE FOR SHARING TIME

THE numbered items in this outline are the monthlythemes, with italicized scriptures the children couldmemorize. (Instructions to help children memorize

scriptures can be found in Teaching, No Greater Call, pages

17172, and the Helps for the Teacher section in the

Primary manuals.) The bulleted items are the weekly gospel

principles that should be taught during sharing time and

opening or closing exercises. Occasionally there may be a

special need in your Primary, such as a temple dedication

or a priesthood leaders focus, that would call for a special

sharing time emphasis. You might want to display a picture

of a temple throughout the year in sharing time.

1. I love to see the temple. Who shall stand in his

holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart

(Psalm 24:34).

The temple is a house of God, a place of love and

beauty. I can feel the Holy Spirit there (D&C

109:1220; Primary 1, lesson 26).

Ill go inside someday to perform sacred ordinances*that will prepare me to live with Heavenly Father

again. I will make covenants* and receive my

endowment* (Mosiah 5:5; LDS Temples, 1419;

Primary 5, lesson 35; Temple in the Bible

Dictionary).

I will prepare myself while I am young to go to

the temple. I must have a recommend* to enter a

dedicated* temple (Alma 37:35; My Gospel

Standards; Primary 3, lesson 3).

Class presentation

Play a matching game (TNGC, 16869). Write

questions on pieces of paper, one question per piece

of paper. Draw simple pictures or use pictures from

the GAK and Primary manual picture packets that

represent each question. As the children make a

correct match, discuss the answer to the question

(refer to LDS Temples and other references listed in

this outline). Some sample questions could be:

What do we do in the temple? (interior of a temple)

Why do we wear white clothing in the temple?

(people dressed in white)

When can I go to the temple? (temple baptismal font)

Prepare a booklet entitled The TempleIm Going

There Someday for each child. Have the children

draw a picture of a temple on the first page. Give each

of them a cutout picture of a boy or girl to color and

glue to the next page (see Primary 3, 12021). Have

them write their names and one way they can prepare

to go to the temple on the picture. Use the additionalpages of the booklet throughout the year to have the

children write their thoughts or draw pictures as you

teach about temples. (Prepare additional booklet

covers for those who are absent that day or move in

during the year.)

2. My family can be together forever through the

blessings of the temple. And I will give unto thee the

keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt

bind on earth shall be bound in heaven (Matthew 16:19).

In the temple my family can be sealed* together

forever. Marriage in the temple is for eternity

(D&C 132:19; GP, chapter 38; Primary 3, lesson 35

[enrichment activity 1 is suggested for theme 11]).

Temple ordinances* are performed by priesthood

authority (D&C 132:4549; Primary 5, lesson 26;

LDS Temples, 2326).

My family can live to be worthy of the blessings ofthe temple. Love grows in my family as we have

family home evening, family prayer, and family

scripture study and as we serve one another

(Mosiah 4:1415; The Family: A Proclamation to

the World; GP, chapters 36, 37; Primary 4, lesson 6,

enrichment activities 3 and 4).

Class presentation

Objective: To strengthen each childs desire to receive all the blessings

of the temple and to prepare now for temple blessings.

THE TEMPLEIM GOING THERE SOMEDAY

For behold, this is my work and my gloryto bring to passthe immortality and eternal life of man (Moses 1:39).

6/124

Draw a temple on one side of a large piece of paper

and a family on the other side. Cut the paper into

puzzle pieces. On each piece write the name of a

song about temples or one that tells us how to live

so we can be worthy of temple blessings. After

singing each song, let a child put a puzzle piece in

place. Tape the puzzle together, then turn it over to

show the family. Explain that in temples, mothers

and fathers are married for all eternity and families

are sealed together forever. Let the children draw

similar pictures so they can do the activity in family

home evening.

Invite five priesthood holders to come to Primary

dressed in simple costumes. Explain that they

represent John the Baptist, Peter, James, John, and

Elijah (GAK 407, 408, 417). Have them tell about their

roles in restoring the priesthood and the sealing

(CS, 89). Discuss how the priesthood blesses us in our

daily lives and how the keys that Elijah restored bless

our family (refer to Elijah in the Bible Dictionary

and other references in the bullets).

3. The temple is the house of the Lord. Establish a

house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of

faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order,

a house of God (D&C 88:119).

When Jesus lived on the earth, He came to the

temple in Jerusalem (Luke 2:2252; John 8:2;

Primary 7, lessons 5, 8).

After His resurrection, the Savior came to the

Nephite temple in the land Bountiful. He taught

and blessed the people there (3 Nephi 11; Primary 4,

lessons 33, 35).

When the Savior comes to earth, He often comes

to a temple. We can feel His Spirit there (D&C

110:110; 97:1516; 109:5; Primary 1, lesson 26,

account of Lorenzo Snow).

Class presentation

Divide the children into groups. Give each group a

scripture reference from the first two bullets and have

them read the account. Choose children to represent

some of the scripture characters. Have an adult or

older child portray a reporter and interview them.

Ask about their experiences and what they learned

about the importance of temples. For example, ask

Simeon and Anna how they felt when they saw the

Savior and what they knew about Him.

Gather three or four large boxes. Stack them and

draw an outline of a temple on one side of the boxes.

Draw an outline of a house on the reverse side.

Prepare two sets of wordstrips from Doctrine andCovenants 88:119 (prayer, fasting, faith,

learning, glory, order). Build the picture of a

temple with the children. Explain that although the

Savior doesnt live in the temple, it is His house and

we can feel His Spirit there. Have the children attach

one set of wordstrips that describes the temple.

Then explain that we can do the same things in our

homes. Rotate the boxes and attach the second set of

wordstrips to the house. Ask them to suggest ways

we can invite the Spirit into our homes. Have themwrite their responses on the boxes or in their booklets

(see theme 1).

4. The temple brings the blessings of heaven to earth.

And, if you keep my commandments and endure to the

end you shall have eternal life, which gift is the greatest of

all the gifts of God (D&C 14:7).

The temple teaches us Heavenly Fathers plan of

salvation (GP, chapter 47; Primary 1, lesson 3). The temple is a house of learning and inspiration

(D&C 97:1016; Primary 5, lesson 26).

A picture of the temple reminds me I am a child of

God. If I keep the commandments, I can live with

Him someday (Romans 8:1617; Primary 6, lesson 12,

enrichment activity 6).

Class presentation

Tell the children that in the temple we are taught

Heavenly Fathers plan of happiness. Use a sing-a-

to make a simple drawing of the plan (see Primary 6,

lesson 1). Allow the children to express what they

know about the plan of salvation. Help them memo-

rize the third article of faith (TNGC, 17172).

7/125

Have the children use their scriptures and share

accounts of Church leaders receiving inspiration and

revelations in the temple: 1 Samuel 3 (GAK 111); Luke

1:514; Doctrine and Covenants 110 (GAK 417) and

137 (GAK 401). Explain that everyone who goes to the

temple can receive inspiration. We can also receive

inspiration as we prepare to go to the temple. Sing

to help the children understand that the Holy Ghost

can help them make correct choices and understand

gospel teachings. Have the children record a personal

experience in their booklets (see theme 1) of a time

when they have felt the guidance of the Spirit.

5. My body is a temple. Know ye not that ye are the

temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

. . . For the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are(1 Corinthians 3:1617).

I will keep my mind and body sacred and pure, and

I will not partake of things that are harmful to me

(Primary 3, lesson 14; Primary 5, lesson 24,

enrichment activities).

I will only listen to music that is pleasing to

Heavenly Father. I will only read and watch things

that are pleasing to Heavenly Father (Primary 3,

lesson 38; Primary 6, lesson 16, enrichment activities). I will use the names of Heavenly Father and Jesus

reverently. I will not swear or use crude words

(Exodus 20:7; Primary 3, lesson 43; Primary 7,

lesson 41). I will dress modestly to show respect for

Heavenly Father and myself (Primary 5, lesson 44,

enrichment activity 2).

Class presentation

Explain that in the Word of Wisdom Heavenly Father

has told us how we can keep our bodies healthy and

receive other blessings. Read Daniel 1:17 and Doctrineand Covenants 89:1820 to discover the treasures

we will receive if we keep this standard of health:

knowledge, learning, wisdom, understanding, health,

and not being weary. Write each of these treasures on a

wordstrip and put the wordstrips in a Treasure Box.

Have the children dramatize (TNGC, 16566) the

story about Daniel and the kings food from Daniel 1

(GAK 114). Brainstorm (TNGC, 16061) and discuss

how the world tries to convince us that using bad

things is exciting and will not harm us. Prepare case

studies (TNGC, 16162) for the children to practice

a policeman, and a doctor. Ask, How did yourecognize these people? Explain that we belong to

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Ask,

How will others know who we are? How will they

know we are trying to follow Jesus? Use stations

(TNGC, 179) to discuss (1) What words should I use?

(2) What things should I read and watch; what music

should I listen to? (3) How should I dress? (Refer to

6. Temples are a sign of the true church. I command you,all ye my saints, to build a house unto me (D&C 124:31).

Moses and the children of Israel had a tabernacle, a

temple they carried with them (LDS Temples, 5261;

Exodus 33:7; D&C 124:38; Tabernacle in the Bible

Dictionary). Solomon built a temple in Jerusalem

(1 Kings 6:1; Primary 6, lesson 31).

The Nephites had temples (2 Nephi 5:16; Jacob 1:17;

Mosiah 2:17; 3 Nephi 11:1).

Joseph Smith restored temple blessings in the latter

days (D&C 124:3940; Primary 5, lessons 25, 26, 35).

Class presentation

Help the children understand that whenever Heavenly

Fathers Church is on the earth, the people are blessed

with temples. Create a time line mural. As you teach

an account of a temple, divide the children into

groups. Have each group draw something pertaining

to the temple discussed that day. For a visual example

of temples, see GAK; also refer to Temple and

Tabernacle in the Bible Dictionary.

Write the words The True Church of Jesus Christ

on the chalkboard with some letters of each word

missing. Have the children figure out which letters

have been lost. Explain that after Jesus died, people

changed the Church He had organized. The true

church needed to be restored. Ask, What must the

true church have? Have them look for five word

clues you have hidden: prophets, priesthood,

organization, ordinances, temples. Let the

children match each word clue with pictures from

GAK such as: Joseph Smith, priesthood restoration,

organization of the Church, restoration of ordinances,

and the keys given in the Kirtland temple. Have

them share what they know about each picture.

Sing The Spirit of God (Hymns, no. 2).

7. Temples bless Heavenly Fathers children

throughout the world today. And many nations shall

come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of

the Lord, . . . and he will teach us of his ways, and we will

walk in his paths (Micah 4:2).

The pioneers worked hard and sacrificed to build

temples (D&C 97:12; 109:5; Primary 5, lessons 35, 44).

Members of the Church today make sacrifices to go

to the temple (Primary 5, lesson 25, enrichment

activities 3, 4).

There is a temple for my part of the world.

Class presentation

Tell a story (TNGC, 17982) about the sacrifices made

by the pioneers in building temples (Primary 5, lessons

25, 35, 44). Include the section about the foundation

of the Salt Lake Temple. Draw a foundation stone

for each child. Have the children each write or tell

something they can do to help build the kingdom as

they attach their stone to the wall, stacking them to

form a foundation. Place a picture of a temple on top

of the completed foundation. Just as the pioneers were

the foundation for the early Church, the children form

the foundation for the Church in their area.

Lorenzo Snow prophesied that temples [will be]

established over every portion of the land (The

Teachings of Lorenzo Snow, comp. Clyde J. Williams

[1984], 153). Write the names of various temples on

wordstrips, one wordstrip for each child. Clear anarea in the room and use a string to outline the

continents (or use a map of the world). Have each

child find the location of the temple and point to or

stand on that spot. Share any information you or any

of the children might know about the locations.

Explain that Heavenly Father loves all of His children

and wants everyone to enjoy the blessings of the

8. We serve others through temple work. And he shall

turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart

of the children to their fathers (Malachi 4:6).

In the temple, ordinances* are performed for our

families and others who have died without receiving

ordinances such as baptisms, endowments,* and

sealings* ( D&C 138:5358; Primary 5, lesson 34).

I can prepare to serve in the temple by learning

about my ancestors and doing family history work

(D&C 138:4748; GP, chapter 40; Family Home Evening

Resource Book, lesson ideas, Genealogy).

I can write my personal history and write in my

journal (1 Nephi 9; 19:1; Family Home Evening

Resource Book, lesson ideas, Journals).

Class presentation

Teach the principle of vicarious work for the dead

using questions (TNGC, 6870) such as: Why

must the gospel be taught to everyone? Which

ordinances are necessary for exaltation? If people

dont hear the gospel here on earth, where can they

hear it? What can we do to help those who have

died? Make two cloth puppets out of white material

(TNGC, 17677). Color one puppet. At birth our spirit

(uncolored puppet) and mortal body (colored puppet)

are connected. Slip the colored puppet over the

uncolored puppet. At death they are separated.

Remove the colored puppet revealing the spirit

puppet. Have the children make similar puppets

out of paper to take home.

Explain that past generations prepared the way for

us, and we in turn can serve them through temple

work. Invite a grandparent to briefly tell how his orher generation laid the foundation for us. Hand out

the booklets (see theme 1). Have the children draw a

picture or write information about their parents or

grandparents. Older children may write a letter to

grandparents asking about their lives. Encourage the

children to talk to their parents about their grand-

parents and ancestors.

9. I will live now to be worthy to go to the temple and

serve a mission. He that hath my commandments, and

keepeth them, he it is that loveth me (John 14:21).

Consider the needs of the children in your Primary

as you choose two sharing times from the following

topics:

I will pay my tithing (Primary 3, lesson 42;

Primary 7, lesson 24).

I will be honest with Heavenly Father, others, and

myself (Primary 2, lesson 34; Primary 6, lesson 14).

I will do those things on the Sabbath that will

help me feel close to Heavenly Father (Primary 2,

lesson 37; Primary 7, lesson 14).

I will seek good friends and treat others kindly

(Primary 1, lesson 33; Primary 7, lesson 20).

I will share the gospel with others (Primary 3,lesson 25; Primary 4, lesson 17).

My priesthood leaders guide me as I prepare to go

to the temple. I will honor my priesthood leaders

(Primary 3, lesson 9; Primary 5, lesson 17).

Class presentation

Obtain items that are paid for by tithing fundsfor

example, a hymn book, missionary tag, picture of the

temple, and chalkand place them on a tray covered

with a cloth. Remove the cloth and let every childsee what is on the tray. Cover the tray. Have a child

come up, reach under the cloth, and choose an item.

Explain how that item is paid for by tithing funds.

Conduct a discussion on how tithing blesses our lives.

Show a tithing donation slip. Encourage the children

to be worthy to go to the temple by paying tithing.

Arrange a panel discussion (TNGC, 17576). Invite

several people to participate, such as a recently

baptized eight year old, a young woman, a young

man, a returned missionary, a couple married in the

temple, and the bishop. Have the others explain about

their interviews with the bishop. Have the bishop

explain how the Lord blesses him to help people in

his ward. Have the children express their gratitude by

listen to the counsel of the bishop and to pray for him.

10. I prepare to go to the temple as I follow Heavenly

Fathers plan for me. We believe that the first

principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in

the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism

by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying

on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost (Articles of

Faith 1:4). I have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I will remember

my baptismal covenants* and listen to the Holy

Ghost (Alma 37:33; Primary 6, lesson 6; 1999 and

2000 Outline for Sharing Time and the Childrens

Sacrament Meeting Presentation).

I will choose the right. I know I can repent when I

make a mistake (Primary 3, lessons 2, 10).

My testimony will grow as I study the scriptures,

pray, go to Church, and follow the prophet (2 Nephi

31:1421; 32:89; Primary 5, lesson 46).

Class presentation

Discuss how we can follow Heavenly Fathers plan

for us. Draw a simple road map and explain how it

helps us know how to get from one place to another.

In a similar way, Heavenly Father has a plan to help

us live with Him again someday. Have the children

follow directions to find 810 pictures that depict

ways they can follow Heavenly Fathers plan,

such as being baptized, attending church, praying,

receiving temple ordinances,* and being married in

the temple (see GAK, 600 section, or the picture

packets from the Primary 1, 2, or 3 manuals). Attach

the pictures to the map. Share an example from the

scriptures, or the life of a latter-day prophet, of

following Heavenly Fathers plan.

Write the following topics on separate pieces of

paper: Read the scriptures; Pray; Repent; Obey the

commandments; Attend church; Partake of the

sacrament; Be a good example; Obey my parents;

Follow the prophet. Divide the children into groups.

Assign each group a topic and give them several

scriptures to look up. Have them discuss how their

topic helps their testimonies grow, and have them

draw pictures of their ideas. Attach the drawings to a

roller box (TNGC, 17879). Show the pictures and

have everyone guess the topic and how it strengthens

Class presentation

Invite a father and mother who were sealed* in the

temple to bring their baby to Primary and share howgrateful they are to be sealed as a family. Make a

paper chain (see Primary 3, lesson 35, enrichment

activity 1) to show how generations are linked by the

sealing power. Divide into buzz sessions (TNGC, 161).

Have each group discuss one of the following topics

and then share their ideas with the others: the

blessings of being sealed as a family; helping our

family live worthily; bringing love and harmony into

our home; showing gratitude for our home and

family. Have the children make their own paper

chains labeled with names of family members.

Draw a home and cut the drawing into six sections.

Label each section with a song from the Home and

Family section of the Childrens Songbook. Place the

sections around the room. Have a child locate the

first section; then have the children sing the song and

discuss the principle taught. Have another child locate

the next section of the drawing, and so on. As you

assemble the drawing, explain that in our homes,

12. When Jesus comes again, He will come to the

temple. And if you are faithful, behold, I am with you

until I comeAnd verily, verily, I say unto you, I come

quickly (D&C 34:1112).

When the Savior comes again to begin the

Millennium, He will come to a temple (GP, chapter

43; Articles of Faith 1:10; Primary 5, lesson 30). We will do temple work in the Millennium. It will

be a time of peace and joy and righteousness (GP,

chapter 44; Revelation 7:1315; Primary 7, lesson 46).

coming by living to be worthy of temple blessings

(GP, chapters 43, 44, 47; Primary 2, lesson 43;


Class presentation

CLASS PRESENTATIONS

One sharing time a month should be a class presentation. This is an opportunity for the children in your

class to teach a gospel principle to others. The experience will reinforce the principles you have been

teaching and allow them to gain confidence as they participate in a group presentation.

Teachers and class members plan and present the class presentation.

The presentation should support the monthly theme and should be adapted from the class lesson

manual. For example, the children could present a scripture account, enrichment activity, or a

highlight of a lesson that was interesting to them.

Interesting ways to teach the gospel principle are referenced in Teaching, No Greater Call (TNGC) as

listed below.

The Primary presidency and music leader should be available to assist the class if needed.
