We had a really fun Primary Activity at our house last week. We had a movie night where the kids watched a movie projected onto a wall and they were able to "buy" popcorn, drinks, rice krispie treats, licorice and cookies. It was a great success!
We had wanted to do it in the backyard, but it gets dark so late and we wanted the younger kids to be able to come so we moved it inside.
My living room is quite large and has NO furniture except a piano so it was perfect. I took the pictures off the wall and voila, movie screen.
The kids knew about the activity for about 2 1/2 months. They earned tickets each Sunday by coming to church, wearing church clothes, participating, bringing their scriptures and of course good behavior. The younger kids who don't have scriptures got a freebie each week. The range in tickets was quite surprising, but the kids loved it! Each item cost 3 tickets, except the licorice was 1 ticket a stick and water was free.
We chose a G rated Disney movie "The Rescuers" we wanted something a little older that maybe some of the kids wouldn't have seen and would better hold their attention. All the Primary kids were invited, even Nursery age. There were 3 Nursery kids and they didn't earn tickets they just got a little of everything.

The movie has started. We had 20 kids total, which is really good because we have a pretty small primary, we were only missing 10 kids not counting Nursery.
The goods, the brown bags were filled with popcorn.
