Class Presentations

One sharing time a month should be a class presentation. This is an opportunity for the children in your class to teach a gospel principle to others. The experience will reinforce the principles you have been teaching and allow the children to gain confidence as they participate in a group presentation.

  • • Teachers and class members plan and present the class presentation.

  • • The presentation should support one of the weekly gospel principles for that month.

  • • Interesting ways to teach the gospel principle are referenced in Teaching, No Greater Call (TNGC) as listed below.

  • • The Primary presidency and music leader should be available to assist the class if needed.
