Teaching Thoughts
These are a few bonus ideas- keep scrolling for more!
Use my Resurrection Morning scene included in my Golden Easter Fun printable kit to share the Easter story. You can send the class home with their own scene or a bag of goodies too.
There are a few really cute file folder games that go along with the Primary 1 lessons. The one for this lesson is called Heavenly Father Has a Plan for Us File Folder Game. I recommend checking them all out as she does a really good job.
You can use some of the #PRINCEofPEACE printables for this lesson as well. My Chicken and Eggs printable would be fun to send home.
