Primary Sharing Time Assignment Cards: 2016

One of the highlights of our opening exercises each Sunday is “mail time”.  We have a little mailbox (that really could use a facelift at this point actually) and in it we put the assignments for the following Sunday (you know, opening prayer, scripture, talk etc).  This year we will also be putting in scripture hero clue cards .

Each week at the end of all our opening exercises and right before we transition into singing time, we pick a child who has been reverent to be our “mailman”.  It is quite the honor, and they do not take the responsibility lightly.  They open the mailbox and hand out the assignments to the children (the younger ones that can’t read yet get a little assistance) and then there is a little treat for the mailman.

We throw other kinds of announcements & invitations in there as well including things related to activity days, baptisms, priesthood previews, baptism previews , ward parties etc.

I was able to get our new assignment cards for the 2016 theme- I know the scriptures are true- done today so I thought I would share.  We also put the assignments in the monthly newsletter which I email & hand out in hard copy form.  Hopefully, one way or another, families are notified!

If you are like me, you have a meager primary budget and can’t afford color copies.  Therefore I end up using all my own ink so I opt for minimal color when possible with white background, hopefully that works for you! I added the theme for 2016: I know the scriptures are true.

Here’s oldest, cute as a button, modeling for me.  We just punch two holes and tie yarn and they wear them home.  Some of the kids even wear them back the next week for their prayer or talk or whatever.

Their faces just light up when the mailman reads their names & delivers their “mail”.  If you are looking to start the primary mailbox system in your ward I did find this mailbox for $13 (on sale from $30) on Amazon.  I’m debating whether to get it for us, ’cause like I said, ours is on its last leg…  I also found this one that is smaller and more of a toy mailbox (might fit in your cupboard better??).

So cute! I like this a whole lot better than the quickly scribbled and cut piece of paper. 🙂 You’re so organized and I LOVE it!

Haha, sometimes… depends on the day… and the minute…

What a good way to get the kids excited about participating! I will be passing this idea on. Thanks!

Thanks for passing it on Liesel- excited to have you by the blog for the first time, welcome!

These are so cute! I love the mailbox idea, and I love that you put the assignments on the kids as necklaces! I can’t tell you how many assignments I’ve found weeks later–too late to do me any good! Heidi recently posted… Pinecone Turkey Craft for Kids

Most kids love to wear them home, even the older kids wear them 😉 Thanks Heidi! Alia Cherry recently posted… Primary Sharing Time Assignment Cards: 2016

Hi! I love these assignment cards! Any way Theme can be put in place of Other? I saw that you had subbed Articles of Faith in, and am hoping Theme would be easy enough. Thanks!

I’m pretty backlogged right now Allison but i’ll try!

Thank you so much for all the work you do and for sharing! Your posts have made a big difference in our primary.

What a sweet thing to say Eliana- thank you!

I wish I would have seen this idea in January – very cute! I was wondering- so, you pick who is going to give the talk yourselves? I am sure you have a rotating list or something. We usually have our teachers ask the kids in class and then I come in later and give them a reminder.

Hi Kay! Yes, each month when I make the newsletter I sit down and come up with the assignments for the month. Like you said I just rotate through the children. I never thought of having the teachers ask- that is a good approach!
