Poem: God's Wonderful Creation

This is another poem from my A to Z file that would be an easy talk for Primary.

God's Wonderful Creation

God made the world so wonderful
With mountain peaks to hike,
And hills and vales and rocky trails
Where I can ride my bike.

God made the world so wonderful—
The beach, the raging sea,
The quiet stream where I can dream
Of things I want to be.

God made the world so wonderful—
Made sunshine, warm and bright
That lights the day so I can play;
His moon stands guard at night.

God made the world so wonderful—
Made trees with grass below,
And corn and wheat that I can eat
To help my body grow.

God made the world so wonderful—
Made birds with feathered wings.
He gave me dogs and leaping frogs
And creeping, crawling things.

God made the world so wonderful
Then at the end, you see,
Before He’d rest He made the best,
For that’s when God made ME!

The Creation: Sharing Time or Talk

I had to do a class sharing time years ago when I was a teacher in the Primary, and I did it on the Creation. I found clipart of each number (1-7) then for each number I found more clipart to represent what was created on that day and glued onto the numbers. For example:

1 - colored top half black/bottom half left white
2 - clipart of clouds
3 - clipart of flowers and trees
4 - clipart of sun, moon, and stars
5 - clipart of birds and fish
6 - clipart of various animals (girafee, bear, sheep, elephant, etc.)
7 - clipart of things we should do on the Sabbath (girl praying, scriptures, church building, etc.)

Then for the sharing time I showed each number and discussed in detail each day. I saved this sharing time after doing it, and was able to use it last year for my son's first talk in Primary. He was able to hold up each number then say the following:

Under Heavenly Father's direction, Jesus Christ created our world and everything in it. In the beginning the earth was without form and it was dark.
On Day One, Jesus divided the light from the darkness, calling the light day and the darkness -night.
On Day Two, Jesus divided the water so some was on the Earth and some was in the heavens.
On Day Three, Jesus made dry land and divided the water and the dry land, forming seas, rivers, and lakes. He made the grass, trees, and plants to grow.
On Day Four, Jesus made the sun to light the day, and the moon and stars to light the night.
On Day Five, Jesus created fish and put them in the waters. He also created the birds.
On Day Six, Jesus created animals, insects, and other creeping things. Then, Heavenly Father and Jesus created the greatest creation of all - mankind!!
On Day Seven, Jesus rested for a time. Day Seven is our Sabbath Day, a day of rest.
