I’m excited to help you jump right in teaching with all these Faith singing time ideas! This LDS Primary song (“Faith is like a little seed…”) is a great song to teach the importance of receiving a personal testimony by taking action!
Faith is included in both the New Testament and Book of Mormon Primary Song List. I like to include it as one of the songs I teach for the Book of Mormon year as I feel like it ties in really well to that book of scripture best!
But whichever year you plan to teach this song, you’ll love all these fun ideas to help you teach Faith song in your Primary room!
