My Body Is a Temple of God Primary Talk

OK, ok, so I know this isn't crafty at all, and I've posted stuff like this on my personal/family blog before, but then I realized, if someone wants an idea for an LDS Primary talk, why not share it?  I got all these ideas on line, so if you are searching, you'll probably run across them, too (I should have saved my sources, but didn't, sorry!).  My 8 y.o. son used this outline for his talk.

Cars - are different (show cars)

• Fast/slow
• Red, blue, gold, silver
• Big/small

Temples - look different too (show pictures)

• Small/big (Kirtland/Nauvoo)
• White/gray (DC/SLC)
• Taller/shorter

But - the work that goes on in temples is the same, like

• Baptisms for the dead (show picture of font)

Temples also have the Spirit of God in them

Our bodies are like temples, too

• Smaller/bigger
• Lighter/darker
• Faster/slower
• But - we all have the Spirit of God, too

We can take care of both our physical bodies and our spiritual bodies

• Physical

1. Exercise
2. Good hygiene (bathe, brush hair, trim nails, brush teeth)
3. Be modest
4. Eat healthy and obey the Word of Wisdom

• Spiritual

1. Exercise faith
2. Keep thoughts clean by reading, watching, and listening to good things.
3. Feed your Spirit through prayer and scripture study.

Spencer Kimball story

• Age 9
• Milked 2-9 cows/day
• Boring
• Make it good and fun
• Squirt milk to cats
• Memorized Articles of Faith, 10 Commandments, Hymns (sang to the cows)

President Kimball made his temple brighter by filling his mind with good things while he worked.  I hope we can all do the same.  And I say these things...
