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.

Teaching Methods

The following is a list of methods that can be used to teach a gospel principle and involve the children in sharing time. (See “Methods of Teaching,” TNGC, 158–84.)
