Lesson
The purpose of Primary 3 Lesson 30: Jesus Christ Loves Each of Us is to know that Jesus loves and bless all children everywhere.
Teaching Thoughts
If you have a younger class, try one of these 2 file folder games. This one from Kimberly Bourne Designs points out all the ways we know Jesus and Heavenly Father love us. The one from Green Jell-O with Carrot includes several different children.
Start the lesson out by giving out hugs and heart stickers and telling each child that Jesus and Heavenly Father love them.
Cover a piece of cardboard with foil and write on it, "Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love me" so it's like a mirror. Let each child decorate it with some heart or other fun stickers then practice saying the phrase together.
Use the Where in the World activity included in The Red Headed Hostess class packet.
