Teach Seek the Lord Early in singing time using suggested visuals found in the Sharing Time Outline! Your Primary will enjoy “seeking” around the Primary room as they search for all the answers!
You know you can’t go wrong when you use singing time ideas suggested from the Church! And this idea comes from the 2014 Sharing Time Outline for August.
Apparently the suggested visuals aren’t available to download. So I created some that are pretty similar… adding a keyword on each of the phrases since some of the pictures can be tricky.
2 formats are available. One with a colored background and one without:

Print on card stock and number the backside.
You also need several empty toilet paper or paper towel tubes or card stock rolled and taped to create a tube. Ask around your ward if you need more ;).
You can also use magnifying glasses, flashlights or finger lights instead if you can get the primary room dark enough. Find more details on finger lights.
Ask the children if they have ever played hide and seek. Then ask what does it mean to seek? [To look for, to try to find]. When we seek for Heavenly Father, we aren’t trying to physically find him. Rather, we find him when we feel his love.
Pass out a “telescope” (empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls) to each child. You and the teachers sing the first phrase of the song, posting the words using this flip chart format as needed.
Have the children seek for it using their telescope. When found, have them point to it. Hang it on the board.
Sing the phrase together as the children are looking at it through their telescope. Repeat with the rest of the phrases, gradually adding on until each phrase has been found, put in order on the board and the entire song has been sung.
Invite another child to go out of the room while another child else hides one of the pictures around the room. Have the child come back and “seek” for the picture by listening to the other children sing louder as he or she gets closer and softer as he or she gets farther away.
Bear testimony that you can seek the Lord and his truth by reading the scriptures, praying, obeying the prophets and Heavenly Father’s commandments.

Thanks for this. You're awesome.
Thank you so much for making those!!
HI! I love this so much but I need to have it in French. Is there a way I can have it sent to me in an editable format and then I can change to English words to French? I would prefer the one with the white background, if possible. If it isn't possible, I understand and I will just have to come up with something else but your visuals are much cuter than the ones I already have. Thanks.
Oh, I guess my e-mail would help – jkindr@hotmail.com or jkinbe@gmail.com. Thanks.
Hi Robyn, I updated the post to include a white version without the keywords so you can put in whatever you like. Hope that helps!

I feel like I should send you a gift certificate or something! I work full-time and when I got this calling, I worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up. You make me look so good! I've been a serious Camille fan for a year now. Very seldom do I have to change what you post or do something different. I hope you aren't released before I am. Send me your address and favorite restaurant and I will send you a gift card. It's the least I can do. laura.israelsen@gmail.com Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I second what Laura said! Camille, my Primary kids and presidency think I'm awesome and SO creative. Ha! I tell them all the time that it's because of YOU, but honestly. You not only make me look good, you help ensure the children have a wonderful time and that I can FULFILL my calling. You are a gift to me! THANK YOU!
This is awesome! Is it possible to get a version with no words on it? White background. Thanks!!!
Sorry to respond so late – I've been out of town all week. I updated the post to include a version with no words on it. Probably of no use now since it's after Sunday.

Thanks for posting this! I looked all over lds.org for the printable versions, never found them, so thank you!
You're amazing! So talented! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much, I thought like you they would be online and I could just print them out. Life got busy and I didn't have a chance to check until this Sunday. I was panicked until I found these. You saved my singing time!
Thank you for this. It really helps.
thank you so much! We are going through a really hard time in our family and I didn't know how I was going to get through my calling this week. Thank you for these!
