I was 1st Councilor in Primary for 4 years. Most of the time we had more leaders than children - so the children really got an intensive and tailored to them lesson.

We used the all of the Church issued manuals and helps. ALL of us leaders were artistically impaired :P - so we utilized the other helps that were available from Deseret Books and the internet. UNFORTUNATELY I deleted ALL of my internet links to those helps last month! AHA, I forgot to delete this one, and it is the best one too. http://lds.about.com/library/gallery/clipa...ry_subindex.htm

Our Chorister found some great helps through those books at Deseret Books, plus she went to the Stake Primary Chorister, and the other Ward Primary Choristers and got great helps and hints from them.

I loved Primary - I still miss My Children, and it has been 3 years. Three of them have graduated into YW and YM.
