Teaching Thoughts
Use these cute P-Reese-thood labels for a fun handout
The Red Headed Hostess lesson packet includes a fun trivia game. You can buy this lesson packet on it's own or buy the combo pack for lessons 9-12 to save some time and money.
For older classes, use my free priesthood office and duties matching game.
Hide glow sticks around the room with the priesthood blessing cards found in this lesson help. As people find them, have they read the card and a little bit about the card. Glow sticks are tons of fun... just keep them out of people's mouths.
