Preparing for Baptism/Bishop Interview Questions - 6/9

Update - total flop for Sr. Primary, I didn't even try it in Jr.  Maybe it would have gone better, except the boys couldn't stop talking about how creepy the drawing was.  If you try this, use a cartoon or a printed picture unless you are a good artist!!

June is all about preparing for BAPTISM.  I thought it would be fun to discuss baptism/review baptismal covenants by discussing possible baptismal/temple recommend interview questions (idea HERE).

STEP 1:  Get a picture of your BISHOP, crop so that only his head and neck are showing, then PRINT.

STEP 2: CUT out the head/neck of the picture, PASTE onto poster board, and then DRAW a suit and tie underneath with a wide pocket.

 

I only drew his face in because I wasn't sure how he'd feel about having his photo up here!  Otherwise I would have just glued on the picture.

STEP 3:  Cut a line in the pocket and attach a Ziploc bag in the back.  The kids will have to PICK A QUESTION from the bishop's pocket. Alternatively, you could just attach the questions to the bottom of the poster.

I want to point out to them that they learn many gospel principles through Primary songs!!

For Jr. Primary, we will just talk about the questions but continue to practice "When I Am Baptized" in between until they have it down.  For Sr. Primary, we will use the songs below.
