NO BORING LESSONS'
COME FOLLOW ME FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL AND PRIMARY IDEAS FOR

Matthew 13; Luke 8; 13

Who Hath Ears to Hear, Let Him Hear

Never teach another boring lesson! The ideas below will help you prepare and teach engaging Come Follow Me lessons for Primary and Sunday School. Each week you'll become a better teacher as you practice helping students focus, share their thoughts, learn new doctrines, and apply what they're learning.

Jenny's Lesson Tip

This lesson covers a lot of varying topics. Primary teachers, carefully select two or three to cover during class. Sunday School teachers, you will not be able to give this lesson the attention it deserves, as this lesson is combined with THREE others due to a fifth Sunday and General Conference. Prayerfully consider which material from this and the next three lessons will be of most value to your students. If you choose to do the activity where you "write on strips of paper several gospel truths and several false, worldly ideas or practices," be careful that you don't accidentally add in your own personal ideas of what is a worldly practice. Use the suggestion in the manual to select false, worldly ideas from General Conference addresses to avoid any difficulty.

Gospel Topics in this Lesson

The following gospel topics are covered in this lesson:

choice and accountability, choices, choose the right, destruction of the wicked, emotional preparedness, parable of the sower, parables, sacrifice, spiritual preparedness, steadfast and immovable, wheat and tares

Lesson Openers

The new Come Follow Me program eliminates the opening prayer from the beginning of second hour lessons. Without it, you'll need a way to transition and help students focus on the material in the lesson. Use these ideas to get the attention of your class and help them focus on the lesson material:

MINI LESSONS

You can use these ready-made mini lessons to teach all or a portion of a lesson. A Sunday School teacher has 50 minutes to teach and can often use more than one mini lesson. A Primary teacher has just 20 minutes to teach and may only be able to use one mini lesson. Mini lessons are specific to the topic being taught.
