The first Primary was held in August 1878. Here are just a few ideas of the kinds of activities you may wish to plan as you help the children celebrate Primary’s 125th birthday.

• Give the children an opportunity to “show you know!” how to “Follow Him in Faith”
• Have the children invite a friend to come to Primary
• Encourage the children to do an act of service for a member of their family or neighborhood.
• Teach the children the history of Primary and invite them to role-play favorite events.
• Help the children make family home evening packets.
• Check with the bishop about having the Primary sing, “I’ll Follow Him in Faith” (Friend Jan 2003, 24) or another Primary song as a special musical number in sacrament meeting.
• Invite the children to dress as a child from their family history and share his or her story.
• Hold a Primary birthday parade
• Visit the Museum of Church History and Art to see the exhibit about Primary, or create your own Primary display.
• Catch the children “showing the know” in video or with photos and invite families and ward members to view them.
• Teach the children the alternate birthday verse to “We Welcome you” /CS 256-57)
