Bingham's 1st Primary Talk
I was growing from the moment I was born.
(he held up his newborn pic)
My mom says I grew like a weed my 1st year.
(he held up a weed)
I grew out of all my clothes and shoes so fast.
(he held up his baby shoes)
I grew 4inches from 2-3 years old.
(he held up a ruler)
I am almost 4yrs and not slowing down.
(held up *4* fingers)
As a Sunbeam I am growing spiritually.
(he held up a picture of a sun)
When I grow bigger I want to be Baptised so I can be like Jesus.
(he held up a picture of Jesus)
Its fun to grow!
(he held up his arm in the air with a fist as he said it)
As a little background on that talk, Bingham is beyond tall for his age. He is one of the youngest in his school grade and towers over the kids a year older even. I wanted to tie it into his life and what he knew. He gave his input and helped me decided what to hold up. I also try and get there early before church starts, just on their first talk, so they can do a run through with the mic. We also read it over for about a week.
This is Boen's 1st Primary talk ever and the first one for the year:
Living Prophets Teach Me to Choose the Right
(to the tune of Follow the Prophets)
Thomas Monson is out Prophet,
he says to choose the right.
(held up a pic of Pres. Monson)
So we can be happy,
he guides us to the light.
(he held up a flashlight)
He tells us all his stories,
reminds us to be good.
(he held up a book)
And follow the Commandments,
just like we should.
(I made some 10 commandments out of paper)
Sometimes it's real hard to be very nice,
I have to say, I'm sorry, sometimes even twice.
(he held up two fingers)
But each year I get bigger,
I learn a little more.
(he held his finger to the side of his head)
I'm 3yrs old and growing,
I'll be better when I'm 4!
(held up 4 fingers)
This was a fitting talk for Boen as well. He loves to get into mischief! I was so proud of him for getting up to the mic and speaking so clear. We got a few laughs and it didn't get him going either! He did that talk earlier this year right after becoming a Sunbeam so we kept it short and sweet!
This was the first one Bingham did this year (1/19/12):
Agency is the Gift to Choose for Ourselves
I try to choose the right. Sometimes my little brother hurts me.
I have a choice, to hurt him back or hug him and try to be nice.
(held up a smiley face)
I get to choose healthy food or treats.
I mostly choose healthy.
(held up an apple)
When I am 19yrs. old I get to choose to serve a mission like my Uncle Jeff, or not.
(held up a pic of Uncle Jeff on his Mission in Africa)
He is a good example to me, so I will want to go on a mission too.
If I use my Agency to choose the right,
I will live with Heavenly Father and Jesus,
NOT ( as he pointed down and held up a frowny face)
Here is Bingham's 2nd one he did this year, about a month ago:
Jesus Christ Teaches Me to Choose the Right
When Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ created the world, they created a time of year to renew all living things. This is called Spring.
-The trees are blossoming.
(held up blossoms)
-There are baby animals at the zoo.
(held up a stuffed polar bear)
-The flowers are starting to sprout.
(held up a sprout)
-New baby birds are singing in the trees.
(held up a nest)
-Butterflies and other bugs are flying around the yard.
(held up a toy bug)
-The grass is getting greener.
(held up grass)
-The rain is falling and watering the earth.
(held up an umbrella)
-And Easter, that reminds me about Jesus' resurrection where he came alive again.
So, spring reminds me that I need to choose the right so I can live with him again. But if I make a mistake I can repent and continue to try my best. I am trying very hard each day to choose the right and follow Jesus' example.
Bingham read that entire talk by himself. I held up the visuals for him so he could concentrate!
Here is the talk Boen gave yesterday:
I Choose the Right by Living Gospel Principles
I choose to be happy
when I wake up each day.
When I eat my food
I always choose to pray.
When I play with Bingham
I try to choose the right.
I know I need to be nice
So, things don't end up in a fight.
When Paisli is near
she wants to be just like me.
I choose to remember
to act nice and be happy.
My Mom asks for me to help her
when she makes dinner every day.
I like to take a taste
and do things the right way.
My daddy is so much fun
when we play in our back yard.
I always have a lot of fun
so choosing the right isn't hard
When I lay in my bed
before i fall asleep each night,
I think about my day
did I choose the right.
I know that I am trying
that's all I can do,
Cause Jesus?
I want to be just like you.

I found this link on Pinterest, and want to say thank you! My 3 year old gets to speak on "I choose the right by living gospel principles...." and I'm totally using your talk for that topic!
Thanks so much for sharing these talk ideas. I found your blog by googling I choose the right by living gospel principles. My daughter has that topic for her talk on Sunday, I hope you don't mind that I'm going to use your idea.
Thanks for the talk idea! My 3 year old is giving a talk tomorrow and I was lost! Thank you thank you!
Found your site by searching also. I hope you don't mind if I use your ideas. You do a very good job with age appropriate talks!
