This month’s theme from the Outline is:

The temple is a blessing for me and my family. “And verily I say unto you, let this house be built unto my name, that I may reveal mine ordinances therein unto my people” (D&C 124:40).

This week’s lesson plan from the Outline says:

I will live now to be worthy to go to the temple and do my part to have an eternal family (D&C 97:15–17; “Temples,” TTF, 170–72; Primary 3, lesson 35). Invite the children to express their feelings about the temple. Sing “I Love to See the Temple” (CS, 95). Draw on the chalkboard a road map leading to a picture of a temple and a family. Draw other roads on the map that lead to “nowhere.” Write on paper strips actions that will lead to the temple (reading scriptures, showing love, etc.) and actions that will lead to nowhere (forgetting to pray, not sharing, etc.). Place the strips in a bag. Invite the children to pick a strip from the bag, decide which destination the action would lead to, and post the action on the corresponding road. Every time someone chooses an action that leads to the temple, sing the first two lines of “I Love to See the Temple.” At the end of the game, sing the entire song. Help the children memorize Alma 37:35. (See “Memorization,” TNGC, 171–72.)

That seems like a pretty good plan to me.  I might add pictures to the word strips for the Junior Primary kids so that they can easily identify what’s going on by themselves.  If the kids don’t know the song well yet, instead of singing only the first two lines of I Love to See the Temple, I might have them sing two lines each time, but sing the next two lines of the song each time so they sing all of the lines sometime. For the list of things that will lead to the temple, I think it would be easiest to use the My Gospel Standards list from the Faith in God program.  For older kids, because I like to have them open and read the actual scriptures as much as possible, I might make the word strips scripture references that they have to figure out, depending on how much time we have.  The “going nowhere” list will be easy to make, but I’ll be sure to make them things that the smallest kids might actually consider doing, not crazy grievous sins.  For the pictures for the end of the road to the temple, GAK 606 and GAK 609 would work well in combination.

I think this should be pretty easy to do, but if you’re looking for something else for your Primary, I found some good resources on preparing to go to the temple on the Family Home Evening resource page on the Church web page.  They’re mostly talks from the Ensign geared toward adults, but the one from Elder Nelson would probably be easily adapted for a Sharing Time lesson.  He talks about preparing physically, spiritually, and intellectually for the temple and it could be fun to break it down into those categories for the kids.

The June 2008 Friend isn’t out yet, but the February 2002 Friend has a great lesson with visual aids.  Oooohh…and I really like the January 2002 Friend ideas.  Check those out.  There’s a handout that the kids can fill out that’s neat.  Also ideas for teaching the song “I Love to See the Temple” there.  Primary Manual 3 also has some good ideas for a Temple lesson, including an idea for showing how we link families together in the temple.
