Title: “Primary Picture Talks”
Exhibitor: Cindy Anderson
Description: This project helps children prepare and present primary
talks or scriptures on their own. Their part is written or typed on an index card, and words or pictures are drawn to help them remember what it says. The child helps decide what pictures will help them remember their story. “Sounds-like” pictures can also be used for harder words. Preparing talks can be a great family home evening activity. It helps children feel good about themselves and that they can do something on their own, just like the older kids.
