Sharing Time

This was for Sharing Time in June, theme was 'I will do family history work so my ancestors can receive temple blessings'. Jonathan's CTR 7 & 8 year old class presented it. We made a family tree and had photos of people on them. The kids got to choose one at a time and on the back it had a way of what they could be doing now to help do genealogy. We had them play Pictionary: example, one was to write in their journals - so the word Journal was printed in blue and the kids had to draw it so the other kids could guess what it was. They emphasized 'My Family is Safe Forever'. On the backs of some of the photos were songs to do with ordinances.

Then the class handed out Pedigree charts for the kids to fill out - if they bring it back all filled out, they could show us and get a small magnet designed by us.
