Opening Exercises Ideas

I like it when the children learn to bring their own set of scriptures to primary. As a presidency, we made a little set of picture scriptures with important stories and pictures photocopied. They were placed in a photo album and given to the children. Once given to the children, we knew every child had a copy of the scriptures. If the children brought these or their actual scriptures to primary, a bead was placed in a jar. (The children can place the bead in the jar, or the counselor as they sang the song "Scripture Power". Once the jar was full, a treat was brought in. Usually, rice crispy treats.
