With this game we are working on the colors red, white, and blue and sneaking in some fine motor skills too.  It's perfect for our 4th of July theme. It is quick to set up and I don't know many little ones that don't like to use a spinner :)  

You will need:

*a spinner: this one is pictured but I actually like these ones a little more.  You can also make your own with a pencil and paper clip.
*star stickers or favorite manipulative such as pom-poms or mini erasers


To play: spin and identify the color.  Look for an image with the matching color and cover with your manipulative.  Continue until all images are covered.

I have some really exciting news!  I have been working with a very sweet person from Switzerland and we are excited to announce that we will now be offering these Free Come Follow Me lesson helps in German!   She has generously offered to translate the activities and share them with you.  I am deeply touched by her kindness and am so happy we can help more of you as you teach your families and primary classes the gospel.

Ich freue mich sehr, das Material zum Leitfaden "Komm und folge mir nach" nun auch in Deutsch anbieten zu können! Viele Eltern finden es schade, dass es meistens nur schöne Unterrichtsvorschläge auf englisch gibt. Hoffentlich kann ich so viele Eltern und PV Lehrer unterstützen. Bitte seid nachsichtig, die Uebersetzung ist sicherlich nicht immer fehlerfrei. Dazu kommt, dass die Uebersetzung in der Schweiz gemacht wird und dort gelten manchmal andere Rechtschreibregeln. Aber ich gebe mein Bestes! Viel Spass mit dem Material!

25 Fun and Quirky Holidays to Celebrate in June


Can you believe it is already June!  This year has been very different and I am still trying to wrap my head and heart around so many things. As time moves so quickly I hope this will be a time my children look back on and remember the good memories we are creating together.  One thing I struggle with is that the days seem to all blend together.  These holiday calendars have been so much fun for my kids.  We don't celebrate every day and the ones we do it's something simple.  They don't care what we do but really enjoy checking the calendar, helping me plan, and enjoy spending time together.


This month I found 25 fun holidays to include on our June Calendar.  Pick a few or all and have fun :)
