Opening Exercises Ideas

I like it when the children learn to bring their own set of scriptures to primary.  As a presidency, we made a little set of picture scriptures with important stories and pictures photocopied.  They were placed in a photo album and given to the children.  Once given to the children, we knew every child had a copy of the scriptures.  If the children brought these or their actual scriptures to primary, a bead was placed in a jar.  (The children can place the bead in the jar, or the counselor as they sang the song "Scripture Power".  Once the jar was full, a treat was brought in.  Usually, rice krispy treats.
