This party served two purposes. It was held in January - this is a perfect time for the primary children "get to know" their new primary teacher. So most of our games focused on being together as a class.
And the 2nd reason for this party - the primary children had worked really work the previous year memorizing all 13 Articles of Faith. If they accomplished this - we told them we'd have an ice cream party with 13 different toppings for their ice cream!
(Side note - decorating anything for primary is easy since our primary colors are RED, YELLOW and BLUE)!
GET TO KNOW YOUR TEACHER RELAY
Each teacher brought 3 items with them that explained a little something about themselves (running shorts - if you are a runner, favorite sport team hat, etc).
Then as a class - we played the dress up relay. The first primary child puts on the 3 items from their teacher and races down to their class chair and races back. Then that person quickly takes off the 3 items and the next person puts it on.
Since it is a primary party - we never have winners or losers. And it makes it perfect for each class to work together and get to know eachother other in a casual environment.
MARSHMALLOW RELAY RACE
Separate the primary children into their primary classes. To make it more fair - the primary children got to hold the plastic spoon carrying the marshmallow in one hand. However, the primary teachers had to hold the spoon in their mouth. Safety first - no running allowed - everyone had to walk.
