Lesson
The purpose of Primary 3 Lesson 13: The Baptismal Covenant is to understand that when we are baptized, we make a covenant with Heavenly Father.
Teaching Thoughts
This lesson is very similar to Primary 3 lesson 11- go back to those lesson helps to find additional activity ideas for Baptism. This lesson helps post will contain lesson ideas specifically geared towards baptismal covenants.
Give your class these Baptism bookmarks to remember the covenants they will make at baptism.
There is also my handout for Primary 5 Lesson 12 that covers more of the promises we make at baptism.
And of course, check out The Red Headed Hostess lesson packet.
