Minecraft Themed Singing Time or FHE Game

February 21, 2015 Hubbard's Cupboard 1 Comment

Update 2/22/2015: OK we did it today!! I’m going to try to post an update later with some extra notes and add a few spaces on the game board cause we kept on landing on blank spaces… so I started making them sing a song even if they landed on a blank space. I think the biggest problem is that the older boys got “too excited” and couldn’t calm down. The older boys thought it was “awesome” and the older girls thought it was “dumb”. *sigh* but I still think it’d be an awesome FHE game cause it wouldn’t matter if you land on a bunch of blank spots during FHE…. it’s just that time is pressed for singing time.

————————————————————————————

Ok… I ventured into researching about Minecraft so I could better understand the youth in my ward.

Senior Primary Minecraft Board Game for Singing Time-page-001

I made this super simple print, play and sing Minecraft Theme Singing Time or FHE Game with the 2015 Sharing Time Manual Songs. This is meant for older kids in primary because the younger kids probably don’t know what Minecraft is.

While I understand it’s not the most spiritual game, I tried super super hard to include gospel principles and gospel related things in it. I think it can be counted as a “wholesome recreational activity!”

Well… I’ll let you know how it goes! Tell me how it goes for you if you use it! 🙂

I didn’t make it all by myself. I had help from these sources below:

February 14, 2015 Hubbard's Cupboard 2 Comments

My awesome friend at Feather Flight blogs was willing to help me out with this year’s Valentines Day card. I realized most of my friends are not UofU fans so it would just be not nice for me to give you a UofU valentine. So here you go… you get to pick your valentine: A, B or C?

Happy Valentine’s Day!

He Sent His Son “Fill in the Blank” Review Game

February 14, 2015 Hubbard's Cupboard Leave a comment

This is an easy “Fill in the Blank” review game for the song He Sent His Son which is the current theme song of the month in the 2015 Sharing Time Manual.

Instructions: Print, fill in the blank and sing!

Senior Primary can use a marker to fill in the blank with words.

Junior Primary can use a marker to draw pictures to fill in the blank with pictures.

For sunbeams you can ask them “What picture would represent [this word]?” and then help them draw it.

Laminate and use dry erase marker for multiple uses or just write on the paper with a pen or marker for one time use.

ENJOY!

Building a House of God Activity and Lesson

February 8, 2015 Hubbard's Cupboard 2 Comments

Building a House of God Singing Time Ok here is a print, cut and sing…. easy easy…. singing time lesson. My child woke me up at 2:30 am because he’s teething and I couldn’t fall asleep so I read my scriptures and this easy idea came to me.

All the songs that I chose are from the 2015 Sharing Time Manual or you can choose your own songs!!

You just cut the house pieces and talk about how you establish a house of God. Some examples would be family prayer, scripture study, building foundation on Jesus Christ.. ect.

You can use this for singing time or family home evening! 🙂 Enjoy!

D&C 88:119 Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God

Sorry for any typos… seriously made this at 3:30 to 6:30 in the morning!!!

5 Uses for Olive Oil

January 30, 2015 Hubbard's Cupboard 1 Comment

This week at institute we talked about the process of making olive oil and how that is a symbol of the atonement of Jesus Christ. I’ve heard this lesson multiple times.

It is finished; it is finished! The Lamb of God hath overcome and trodden the wine-press alone, even the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God. D&C 88:106

What impressed me about this institute lesson this time around is that we talked about the different uses of olive oil.

Food – Olive oil is used to eat to nourish your body. It contains monounsaturated fatty acids which is one of the healthier fats around (omega 9). [1]
Light – Olive oil can be burned in a lamp to be used for light to see. [2]
Healing – Olive oil is used for many different medicinal purposes. This is just to name a few: dry skin, gallstones, dandruff, make-up remover, diabetes… ect [3]
Fixing things – Olive oil can be used for fixing things like: polishing, cleaning, things that are stuck… ect [4]
Blessings – The priesthood uses pure olive oil to bless the sick and spiritually afflicted so olive oil can heal you spiritually too! [5]

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgivenhim. James 5:14 – 15

I was really impressed that olive oil is truly a symbol of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He can heal us spiritually, physically and temporally. Jesus also lights our way to help us see clearly in a fallen world. I’m so grateful for Jesus and His healing power. I would be so lost without His guidance, love and forgiveness.

What do you use olive oil for?!

DIY Cereal Box Bible Tote for Church

January 18, 2015 Hubbard's Cupboard 2 Comments

Micah just went into primary as a “Sunbeam” this month and on the same day Quentin went into nursery at church! It was a good transition because I was afraid to let Quentin in nursery when there were like eight boys that were a lot older than him. Here is a picture of their first day:

All the older boys went into primary and now our primary is huge! (Well only compared to the other wards in our stake… it’s actually only like 35 kids but our room is small and it feels like a lot of kids.)

The new kids in primary got a Book of Mormon to take to church every week. I decided to make Micah a scripture tote. I remember seeing missionaries make these scripture covers out of cereal boxes for their Bible and Books of Mormon.

It was super easy. I just cut off the top of a cereal box and taped it up all around to laminate it. Then I punched two holes and tied a ribbon so it would be easier for him to carry. Micah keeps all his church stuff in it along with his new Book of Mormon.

I got this Elmo Cereal at the store because Micah insisted that it was the one he wanted. The cereal really really gross but it made a cute box! (It was definitely good marketing on their part…. the cereal is way plain… it’s like dry cardboard.) The scripture tote works pretty good! I don’t know how long it will last though. 🙂

Dallin is still in the bishopric and I’m still a primary chorister. We’re having fun! Here are two cute pictures of Micah and his friends at church.

SO ONE BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE READERS FOR BEING PART OF OUR FAMILY BLOG!

One thing is that I’m not going to focus on is the numbers but on the individual people who read and comment. Numbers don’t matter as much as people.

I’m excited to get to know you guys better!

Follow the Prophet – Wiggle Song Cards!

January 2, 2015 Hubbard's Cupboard 6 Comments

I’ve been pondering on how I can teach all nine verses of “Follow the Prophet” song from the LDS Children Song Book which is the theme song for March 2015 in the current 2015 Sharing Time Manual: I Know My Savior Lives.

I guess it’s a new year resolution for me to learn all nine verses! I thought it would be fun to make it part of the weekly “wiggle song” choices so I made these “Follow the Prophet Wiggle Cards!”

It’s the same concept as what you would do with the song “Do as I’m Doing.” I made up actions that kinda associate to each prophet.

Hopefully it will help get all the wiggles out! 🙂

Enjoy!

2015 LDS Sharing Time Manual Songs

January 1, 2015 Hubbard's Cupboard 4 Comments

This is the CD that I made for our primary for 2015. These are ALL the songs in the 2015 Sharing Time Manual: I Know My Savior Lives. The CD includes the monthly songs, the songs that appear in the weekly sharing time lessons plus a couple that the primary presidency picked for the optional songs. You can download the CD Cover and music in one .zip file here.

PS – It’s easier to email out a .zip file than burning CDs!! I learned from experience. 🙂
