Learn about Primary—Serving Children

The Primary helps children ages 18 months to 11 years learn about Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and Their plan of happiness. In Primary, children learn about God’s love for them and how to feel His love as they make covenants through baptism, the sacrament, and temple ordinances. They are taught through music, simple games, and other activities. The children are taught and helped by adult teachers and leaders who love and care about them.

• Learn about how children in the Church strengthen one another in becoming more Christlike. Consider using:

  • Personal Development: Children’s Guidebook (2019), ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

  • “Supporting Children and Youth: A Broadcast for Parents and Leaders” (June 6, 2021), ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

• If you are of Primary age, arrange to meet the Primary president and your class teacher.

• If you are not Primary age, arrange with the Primary presidency to observe singing time during Sunday church services.
