In “The Spirit of the Lord Is upon Me” Matthew 4; Luke 4-5 (Feb 4-10)” we learn about being fishers of men, resisting temptation, and more. There is so little time in Primary now, I recommend picking one thing to focus on. Try comparing the Primary lesson to the home study and see how they differ and maybe focus on that!

Teaching Ideas

Great printables to talk about choosing the right and resisting temptation. #teachlikeachicken

Discuss how we can choose the right wherever we are with a drawing activity using my handout. Then have them share their answers and take steps closer to a picture of Christ as mentioned in the manual.

Great idea to talk about being fishers of men. #teachlikeachicken

Print Fish Activity

Discuss how we can all be fishers of men. Read the story then display this poster. You can place the fish upside down and have the kid’s go fishing with paperclips on the fish and a magnet on the end of a stick. They then have to give an example of how they can be a fisher of men using the word from the fish. Attach the fish with a string to the poster to show all the different things we can do. You could also use the fish provided in the manual.
You could also have each child make their own hanging fish poster as you all discuss ideas together for each fish.
Make a fishing treat with licorice, lifesavers, and my free handout included in my Primary 5 Lesson 13 handouts.

Free printable tags to discuss being fishers of men #teachlikeachicken

Print Fish Tags

Attach these fishing theme tags to different pieces of equipment. Ask your class to read a scripture then think of a way that piece of equipment might represent how we can be fisher’s of men as well. You could also tie these tags to the fishing pole treat handout mentioned above.
