Children’s Sacrament Meeting Presentation Tips
|
In the 4th quarter, children are able to share what they've learned in Primary this year during a special Sacrament Meeting. The Outline for Sharing Time is the basis for the program.
Refer to special instructions at the beginning of the outline. www.lds.org/manual/2018-outline-for-sharing-time?lang=eng |
Following are local suggestions for the Sandpoint Stake.
Include Music LeaderMusic is much of the program. Seek the inspiration of the music leader and include her in planning the music portion of the program. Refer to the music tips for the program in the music leader packet.

Start in January & Use the Children's Own WordsKeep notes from the children's talks each month. Ask the children questions about the monthly theme and record their answers for later use in the program. At the end of each month, write a draft of that portion of the program while it is fresh.
|
MemorizeHelp the children memorize their parts so it comes from their heart. Keep parts short unless the child is telling a personal story. Make sure parents know. Let the children know you have high expectations! Those who struggle could be helped by their teacher or a presidency member. Do not leave a copy at the podium because it is too tempting just to read the part.

Misc Ideas
Mix passing the mike with going to the podium for smooth transitions.
Teachers go with class to podium, have a part, and help as needed. They could introduce the scripture theme of the month or what their class is talking about.
The Primary President gives an introduction of the theme and what the children have been learning.
Variety in music and parts is key.
Have children say their first and last name so visitors, stake leaders, and others can associate them with their families.
Consider accompaniment by instruments for variety.
