When I Take the Sacrament, I Renew My Covenants

Oddly enough, Sharing Time for this week was about the Armor of God at our new ward. Yes, they had a child actually put on the tin foil armor and it was very well done!

I wish you could see the AMAZING loins skirt thingy. It was awesome, but the breastplate covers it. 

Fiery darts of the adversary

But in the Primary manual, they were supposed to learn about the Sacrament and Covenants. We already learned about covenants 2 weeks ago, so this week I want my toddler to focus on the sacrament.

It is hard for a toddler to sit still during the Sacrament. As far as remembering the covenants, he or she might need to go over the lesson 2 weeks ago:

What are the PROMISES we make at baptism?
1. Take Christ's name upon us (become a member of His church).
2. Always remember Jesus.
3. Keep His commandments.

What are the PROMISES God makes with us at baptism?
1. He will give us the Holy Ghost to be with us, 
2. forgive us when we repent, 
3. and let us live with Him again.  

Print this out:

Have your child hold it for a happy face or a sad face for each of the scenarios/actions DURING the sacrament:

1.) Kicking the chair in front of you
2.) Look over your picture scriptures
3.) Poke your sibling or friend
4.) Lay on the floor
5.) Sit with your bum on the chair and fold your arms
6.) Run to another row to visit a friend
7.) Pray and remember Jesus Christ
8.) Draw pictures of the Savior's life
9.) Talk about how much you want bread and water
10.) Wait reverently for the bread or water

Then have he or she use crayons to draw what they should act like during the sacrament. Maybe bring it with you to church next week so they can look at it and remember what to do during the sacrament!
