Lesson

Children will realize that taking the sacrament helps them remember their baptismal covenants in Primary 3 Lesson 33: The Sacrament Reminds Us of Our Covenants.

Teaching Thoughts

Sugardoodle's Sharing Time kit on Keeping Covenants is a great compliment to this lesson as it talks about promises and uses different activities.
Use this cup visual from Inkablinka to show how covenants work.
There is always this fun Kit Kat handout when discussing covenants too.
Enjoy the Sacrament Spinner game for extra fun- it's included in The Red Headed Hostess class packet.
