Take a deep breath.....<br />

It's the day of the program. So much to do. So much to worry about. So many things that can go wrong. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">Stay Calm!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few things that can help you this morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Take a few minutes and say a prayer. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Eat breakfast.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Wear something comfortable.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Get ready to smile! <span style="text-align: center;">It's all going to be wonderful! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On the Sunday of the program the children sit down in their chairs and face the audience. What yesterday was a big empty chapel, today is filled with people. They look out at parents, grandparents, cousins, ward members and visitors. Suddenly they realize just how many people come to church and their hearts start to beat fast too. They get a little nervous and scared. But who do they see? Who is looking back at them with a smile? It's you! They love you!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Suddenly with a prompt and a huge smile, they sing for you. Some will sing loud, too loud maybe. Some will whisper. Some will fidget. It's okay. It's really okay. We aren't going for perfection here, we are aiming for the spirit and children singing brings the spirit like nothing else. Let them sing their way, and from their hearts and they will bring the spirit.</div>

Three ways to learn, teach and have fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
When teaching primary songs it's easy to find a favorite way to teach a primary song and then teach all the songs that same way. <br />
Everyone learns differently and it's important to remember that while one child is a visual learner, another might be an auditory learner. As I look back through my visual aids, it's pretty clear I'm a visual learner.<br />
When teaching primary songs mix up the way you teach them so that during the course of the year you teach at least one song in each of the three ways to make sure you are teaching to all your primary children. <br />
<br />
The best way for the children to learn a song is to use a combination of the styles. By singing the song, regardless of the way you teach the song, the children are already using two parts of their brain instead of one which will<br />
help them remember it better.<br />
<br />
You can find ways to teach primary songs for each of the three learners below.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Visual Learners</span></h2>
<span style="color: red;"><i>Visual learners learn by seeing pictures, reading or watching a demonstration.</i></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1. FLIP Charts<br />
<br />
Flip Charts can utilize keywords and pictures. They can also have all the words to a line and/or a picture. These are great visual aids, easy to store and fun for the kids to see.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY1W4LTvEwUcSFoYWxbAyi3gmm1E4KbKABT6_Y88IktM4LDmbNfBHzpHCaZ6crBigAYK85xObDMrHK2VpKRPbLG6frf95BejxCAT8gEqV_4bPGgAtzyHjRxrzxYuC2G_OsXnDtJIG2/s1600/DSCN3694.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY1W4LTvEwUcSFoYWxbAyi3gmm1E4KbKABT6_Y88IktM4LDmbNfBHzpHCaZ6crBigAYK85xObDMrHK2VpKRPbLG6frf95BejxCAT8gEqV_4bPGgAtzyHjRxrzxYuC2G_OsXnDtJIG2/s1600/DSCN3694.JPG" height="200" width="150" /></a></div>
2. Posters<br />
<br />
Posters were really popular when I was a kid. I think I learned every primary song taught to me with a poster. You can make the words nice and big and add pictures as desired.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Wordstrips<br />
<br />
Wordstrips can be written in chalk on the chalkboard, or words on a poster. Erase words as the children repeat the song.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo4MyaISrgrGaECsWKdPxpvUJCiXQUa5sCAD77Cn3ZSr-UVX7X2hbcE5odhOpi9SqDjzNd_D69S9N_OJcSO600KqnNjjpx-ijbkM44Rx8RPbZ1dWDHljpvN1fGvWGjPvC_tYhHCrUA/s1600/DSCN4182.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo4MyaISrgrGaECsWKdPxpvUJCiXQUa5sCAD77Cn3ZSr-UVX7X2hbcE5odhOpi9SqDjzNd_D69S9N_OJcSO600KqnNjjpx-ijbkM44Rx8RPbZ1dWDHljpvN1fGvWGjPvC_tYhHCrUA/s1600/DSCN4182.JPG" height="150" width="200" /></a><br />
4. Make seasonal songbooks (for senior primary)<br />
<br />
If you are singing a bunch of seasonal songs and you know that the children don't have them all memorized songbooks are a great tool. They make the words easy to read, because they are right in front of every child, and they make the children feel more grown up. We use songbooks when we sing!<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Kinesthetic Learners</span></h2>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrShzvXD7Q2vQ1JH5S00QxpXvMGNMH6YocgW5kdQhfRAjLRd3HjbQQTh4EHVHXVT_33cdeh4BXOk_8GLA4GjtFke3lcc-sdUwvJV2-8XA0h0M9gs_7tlrBx9XFEAhi537j3aGe1Aa5/s1600/DSCN4062.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrShzvXD7Q2vQ1JH5S00QxpXvMGNMH6YocgW5kdQhfRAjLRd3HjbQQTh4EHVHXVT_33cdeh4BXOk_8GLA4GjtFke3lcc-sdUwvJV2-8XA0h0M9gs_7tlrBx9XFEAhi537j3aGe1Aa5/s1600/DSCN4062.JPG" height="200" width="150" /></a><i><span style="color: red;">Tactile learners learn by touching, or hands on activities. </span></i><br />
<br />
<br />
1. Sign Language or Actions<br />
<br />
There is a reason kids love the action songs. They get to move around and sing at the same time. Sign language and actions will both allow young kinesthetic learners to really learn a song!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Have the kids make the visual aids<br />
<br />
This has always been one of my favorite activities. I generally ask one or two classes at a time to help with the visual aids. Each child in the class is given a keyword or short phrase and they draw a picture of it. They love to see the visual aids they made!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Kids love to touch the visual aids. In nursery I let the children pull items out of the box. An item corresponds to a song. In primary I can do that as well, and another favorite trick of mine is to pull items out of a bag as the kids sing. Look at the picture below. It shouldn't take you long to figure out what the song is just by looking at the props.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">I sing out a line, the children repeat. See my brother there. He </span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">is listening for the children to repeat the line.

<br />
Combine these styles together and use these techniques to teach primary songs effectively to everyone in your primary. Have fun while you teach! Enjoy it! The more you enjoy it the more the primary children will enjoy it! <br />
<br />
There are lots of ways to teach primary songs. If you have one to add, I would love to read about it. Please email me or add it to the comments!<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the first Sunday of the year!!! It's so exciting! <br />
A new program theme. <br />
New songs. <br />
New children in primary. </div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Wait!</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
New children in primary!<br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBkt9i6uCRT5y991wcLu6x9QVPcyRPTX3-lC0a7djwOYawjqL611qH_gUjFxSRydro-ap0XDvOmOjeOw4sz49LQ4y-ze5nHIf1_Bn-ymcShQEO0LE32R2FEng2juBYf1fwIyeodzn8gY4g/s200/crying+child.jpg" height="176" width="200" /></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
We all know what that means. Tears. Tears. Tears. </h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Then..........some more tears.</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The brand new three year old's often panic over being in a new room, with new people and new things to do. Everything is changed for those children and for them primary is a terrifying new place. Thankfully singing time really is the answer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I know how excited you are to teach the first new program song, but don't. Wait, for just a week. Today, we need to help our newest class to feel safe and comfortable. It's time to sing the songs they know and love, so that they recognize that primary is a safe and fun place. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whatever they have been singing in nursery, that's what you need to sing today. For example: sing Give Said the Little Stream, I am a Child of God, Popcorn Popping and all their favorites. Today is a day for showing them that primary isn't so different from nursery. Use fun props. Be excited. If you can even involve them to help choose or pick a song that would be great. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These 3 year olds may look at your blankly. They may look away. The probably won't sing. They might repeat some actions. Be patient. It may take months for them to sing out, but they will when they are ready. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Keep singing! Keep singing songs they love, it will help them feel more comfortable. The older children often don't get to sing these songs as much as they would like. They will really enjoy a singing time filled with fun songs like Wheels on the Bus followed by Book of Mormon Stories. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then next week it's time to start teaching the new song, but be mindful of these little children. Transition them gently. Take time to sing a song or two or three that they know. They will love you for it, and they will feel a lot more comfortable in primary a lot faster!</div>

A plan for maximizing effectiveness in singing time.<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: magenta;">Structuring your 20 minutes each Sunday to maximize effectiveness.</span></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Enthusiastic Greeting</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 minute or less </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You need to get their attention. Their minds will be all over the place. Greet them with enthusiasm, hook their attention so you can sing! Sing! SING!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Wiggle Song (or two!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3 minutes</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Maybe they just came from class and are feeling wiggly. Maybe they just came from Sacrament meeting and they just can't sit still. Sing a fun song, or two or three and get the wiggles out. Don't be afraid to sing it in a silly style to make it even more fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Practice Song </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9 minutes</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Review Songs</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5 minutes</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is the time to sing one or two practice songs for the program, or throw in more favorites so the kids continue to pay attention. Everyone needs a break from singing the same verse of the practice song over and over again!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Practice Song</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 minute</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After a short break of review/fun songs sing this weeks practice song one more time. It lets you know how well they learned what you taught earlier and the parts of the song where the kids are struggling. This way you know what to focus on next week.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Reverent Song</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 minute</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whether the kids are about to go into sharing time, class or home always end with a reverent song. The reverent song lets the kids know it's time to settle down and be prepared to pay attention to what is next.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A well organized singing time will have time for 8 to ten songs, even if you are spending ten minutes teaching a song. Reviewing songs is very important! It helps reinforce gospel principles, it's fun and it's what singing time is all about! SINGING!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">What if sharing time goes long and I don't have the full 20 minutes?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not a problem! You can know exactly what to do by looking at your kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Are they super wiggly? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wiggle Songs 4 minutes</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Practice Song 4 minutes</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Review Songs 2 minutes (probably one song or two short ones)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Reverent Song 1 minute </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Are they being reverent? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Practice song 5 minutes</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Review/fun songs 5 minutes</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Reverent song 2 minutes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">What if it's important to explain a gospel principle so that teaching the song is more effective? Where is the time for that?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sharing time! If the song of the month (or any song) needs extra time to be explained get with the person doing sharing time that week. Have sharing time be first. Talk about the song. Explain the gospel principles and have the children participate while learning. Then when it's time to sing, you have time to sing and there was plenty of time to learn about the song as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">I don't see time for games or activities in your schedule.</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Keep the games simple. If they take too much time, you lose valuable practice and singing time. Don't let the game be so involved that you don't sing any songs! When we have a singing time where I will be calling on the children to pick what we sing I usually ask right at the beginning for them to each think of a song, that way they already have a song they want to sing if they are called on.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You don't have to spend all 9 minutes working on the practice song. Sometimes you only need 5. Sometimes the kids just need to review the practice songs, and you don't need that time for learning a new song. That's a great time to throw in a fun game that needs a little extra time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Well begun is half done!</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is definitely the Mary Poppins in me!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Be organized. Know what songs you plan to sing for opening song, closing, wiggle songs, birthday songs, and review songs. It's very helpful to give that list to the pianist so that they can get to the next song quickly. Take the extra step and write down the page number for them! You don't want the kids to get restless and stop paying attention because they are waiting for the pianist find the page. Make everything go smoother by being prepared!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Know the songs! Practice all week, or for several weeks so you know the song you are teaching. As soon as you pick up your phone to look at the words you've lost the kids and it's really hard to get their attention back.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Watch the kids! Pay Attention!</span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you just lose them. It's sad. It's heartbreaking. But you have to continue on. It's time to abandon the schedule and get them back on track before you can continue with the regularly scheduled activities.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What to do when you have lost control and the primary kids aren't paying attention: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Action songs - kids can't help but join in. They love to move around.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sing it silly - The kids need singing time to be fun. Pick a wiggle or action song and sing it like a pirate. You will have their full attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Do something drastic. Have an emergency visual aid handy. I have reverent glasses. When I put them on the kids are magically reverent. Have something that lights up! Change your location. Move to the back of the room!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Use your pianist!!! Fall asleep if they sing too quiet and have the pianist wake you up. Have the pianist play a fanfare if they do a great job, or play some minor chords when they don't sing well. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Send me an email! I would love to answer any questions you have and help in any way I can. All primaries are different! matildaquilts@gmail.com</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I put together 8 visual aids to help teach the song. They each have pictures to show images from the song and all but one shows key words. I had kids come up and hold the visual aids. We went through each sign adding that part of the song and singing it. After each time we sang the song, the children would go pick someone who had not had a turn to come to the front and hold the sign. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">They also had to put themselves in the correct order. </span></span><br />

I taped sticks to the back so that the kids can hold them up. <br />
When you are looking at visual aids from the back it's hard to tell what they are. I always number them so I know they are in the right order, and I often have the words back there to remind me which visual aid goes with which words.<br />
These took an afternoon to make. They would also be great using photos or drawings. Imagine a photo of pine trees on a mountain or a real desert. Those would be just as fabulous. In fact I wish I had thought of it first!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08074062337242080201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930968494918979878.post-79834636905321616572014-06-10T06:31:00.000-07:002014-06-10T06:31:00.673-07:00Primary Singing Time Trivia<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Early Sunday morning I was packing my bag for church. I am teaching a new song! My daughter instantly complained......"Mom, you can't just teach a song! You have to play a game!" (please insert whiny voice).<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A game! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I spend all week getting ready for the song and now I need a game!?!?</span></div>
Okay, I think to myself, I can do this. <br />
So I go to the living room and close my eyes and think of a game. A trivia game! I grab some paper and start writing and the trivia game is born!<br />
During singing time I asked one class a question. If they answered correctly they picked the song, if not, then we reviewed a program song. <br />
I also thought it would be fun if I had some bells like you see on the counter of businesses so that we could play "Family Feud" style and have two kids vie for the right answer. But alas this is one of those marvelous ideas that come too late to do the same day.<br />

I've included the trivia game as a Google doc here. I hope you enjoy the questions as much as I have enjoyed writing them, and as much as my family, friends and primary kids have enjoyed trying to answer. I was blown away by the knowledge the primary kids had, even when I was sure they wouldn't know the answer. Smart kids!<br />

One of the 2014 program songs is a personal favorite. <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">I love this song!</span></span> For some reason kids seem to be attached to the "rainbow song" but for kids in my generation this was the song. This song, written by Mabel Jones Gabbott and Crawford Gates was THE baptism song. We used this version, from the orange Sing with Me primary book. It's in a different key than the one you find in the newer book but if you have a pianist that can play it, I highly recommend it.<br />

I have visual aids that I made for this song, which you can find by going here:<br />

<br />
I don't have these to scan and put up for you. Sadly, they have been misplaced. <br />
<br />
One young lady from senior primary said:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">"I DON'T LIKE THIS SONG!"</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I almost never stop during singing time to do a sharing time. Actually in all the years I've ever done singing time I've only done this once. (Sharing time is for sharing time and singing time is for singing). I stopped to talk to the primary about this song. I talked about how important it is. How they can learn about the principle of baptism from this song. If anyone ever asks them why we are baptized they have the words of this song to give them the answer. And! I said if you learn this song you will always KNOW the answer to any question about baptism. They won't even have to think about it, the answer is easy. Just think of the song. So many primary songs convey important gospel principles once learned they provide information, answers and direction for life. </div>

A friend in another ward was directing a stake primary choir. She was trying to inspire them to sing loud enough to fill the chapel. She told them she wanted them to blow her away. So when the kids began to sing she acted like she felt a breeze, and as they sang louder she acted like she was being blown by a very strong wind. The wind blew her down the aisle and out the back door. She was very theatrical how she did it and the kids sang their hearts out for her. I wish I had pictures!!!!! You could definitely do this in the primary room too!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08074062337242080201noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930968494918979878.post-90172555200075819662012-02-01T12:28:00.000-08:002012-02-01T12:28:14.766-08:00The trouble with only singing program songs.....is that you don't know any songs.Today I was going through my files looking through old things and organizing visual aids. I didn't realize how much I had, but after 4 years it kind of makes sense. I found a list of songs from 2008 when I was first put in. There were about 15 songs on it that the kids in primary knew. Mostly they were program songs, but there was also the snowman song, a birthday song and Hello! They really didn't know any songs! They had had four leaders over the previous year who spent the whole 15-20 minutes every Sunday only teaching and reviewing program songs. There was no continuity. These children didn't know core songs, or even the program songs from the previous year! I went through the list today and highlighted all the songs they knew. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">THEY KNOW 71 SONGS!!!!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">These are songs that they can sing well, without visual aids, at anytime. This is probably about what a primary should be able to sing, but for this primary it's a huge step! I am so proud of these children and all their hard work learning songs!</div><div style="text-align: left;">The trouble with only singing program songs is that ultimately the kids don't know any songs. In order for them to truly learn a song, you have to sing it well beyond the program and keep singing them into the next year. I know it's hard. It takes a lot of planning, and even with good planning sometimes songs fall through the cracks. But consider this, a song taught once, and reviewed periodically, doesn't have to be retaught. The younger kids learn it by hearing the older ones sing it. And that's how favorites and classics are made, and gospel principles are retained.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08074062337242080201noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930968494918979878.post-30390166912985560022012-01-15T16:25:00.000-08:002012-01-15T16:25:34.353-08:00Stump the ChoristerIt's been a while since I thought of a new game. I've been doing this a long time. I had an idea that since I have been chorister multiple times and spent my childhood in primary I know a lot of songs. I decided to make a game of it.<br />
After choosing a child, they could come up to the front and look through the songbook. They had 10 seconds to choose a song. They read me the title. If I could sing the song on the spot with just the title I got to pick the song (in this case we reviewed As a Child of God). If I didn't know the song, they could pick what we sang. <br />
It turned out to be lots of fun. The kids all wanted to see if they could stump me, and sometimes they did. I couldn't sing "The World is so Lovely" or "We are Different", but I knew "Hum your favorite Hymn" and "Family History, I am doing it". It was fun for me and for them.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08074062337242080201noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930968494918979878.post-63846061964777128162012-01-08T09:06:00.000-08:002012-01-08T09:06:48.966-08:002012 Theme "Choose the Right" and some random thoughts.As outlined:<br />
<br />
January - As a Child of God<br />
February - Choose the Right (Hymn 239)<br />
March - Stand for the Right<br />
April - Choice (Jesus Christ teaches me to choose the right)<br />
May - When I am Baptized<br />
June - Nephi's Courage<br />
July - The Wise Man or a song of your choice (I choose the right by living Gospel Principles)<br />
August - I'm trying to be like Jesus<br />
<br />
I am really excited about this year's songs! <br />
We already know Stand for the Right, The Wise Man, I'm trying to be like Jesus and Nephi's Courage. This really simplifies things and gives more time to teach the other songs. <br />
Think ahead to the program. You have at least 9 months to get ready but it's not too soon to be thinking about it! <br />
<br />
Some ideas to think about:<br />
<br />
You can have a solo in the program, a class or a handpicked group of children to sing one of the songs. This adds variety to the program and is really nice. You can think now of which song you could do this with, or you could save the selection for a song that your primary is struggling to learn. Sometimes, for whatever reason, a group of children just aren't learning the song - despite all your efforts. Don't keep struggling with it, let it go. It will still be in the program, and still be beautiful, but you don't have to beat yourself up about it, assign it to a group or as a solo.<br />
<br />
You can also add in musical accompaniment. Include a violin, oboe or another approved instrument in one of the songs. Every ward has musical talent! You can ask a child who plays the piano to accompany or to play a verse of a song before the primary begins to sing. (Be sure to give them plenty of time to practice!)<br />
<br />
Ask a family to sing one of the songs. I have often thought how beautiful it would be to have a family sing. Parents and children together. <br />
<br />
In the months where you choose the songs, look through the sharing time ideas. There are often suggested songs to use during sharing time that work perfectly for the theme. You can also look in the topical index in the back of the songbook and hymnal for songs that work with that theme.<br />
<br />
Check out pages 26-29 in this year's Sharing Time Outline. There are instructions for how to use music in primary and ideas to help teach songs, and teach the gospel through music. <br />
<br />
I bought the Clive Romney CD at Deseret Book of this year's songs. I was surprised to find a snare drum in the chorus of Choose the Right. I know it would never work in Sacrament Meeting, but it would be really fun one Sunday in singing time!

There are the cute sunbeams who smile and wave to their parents. There are the older kids who stand sullenly in the back and then there is the one girl or boy who sings out with all their heart and as joyfully as they can (without regard for volume and in some cases tempo).<br />
This time my standout singer was Hannah. An 8 year old girl with a smile a mile wide and heart that's twice as big as she is. She sang out beautifully and made me grin from ear to ear with happiness. She carried the whole primary. Because of her the others sang better, and louder. Because of her the older boys took notice and actually sang. Because of her the ward paid attention and showered her parents with praise for her efforts. Because of her we played the musical measles in primary, and she was covered in stickers from the very start. (please see the musical measles post for instructions)<br />
Thank you Hannah! You made my Christmas merry!!!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08074062337242080201noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930968494918979878.post-84712678539895854762011-12-10T20:47:00.000-08:002015-01-08T17:45:46.340-08:00Stars Were GleamingI love this song so much, so when it's finally the right year to teach it I get really excited. This year (after approval) I started teaching the song with two extra verses that were written by Elder Spencer J. Condie (emeritus and currently serving as the Nauvoo Temple President). I am not sure exactly when he wrote them, I have had them since about 1991, I remember that he told me that he felt like there should be additional words about Christ. I wish I were half as eloquent as he was when he told me. Here they are (don't judge me for my punctuation errors!):<br />
<br />
In the stable we are able,<br />
to behold the infant there.<br />
Baby Jesus, Mary sees us<br />
as she give him tender care.<br />
Every nation hears salvation,<br />
in sublimest contemplation<br />
for he is the Son of God!<br />
<br />
He will heal us and reveal us<br />
all his Heavenly Father's light.<br />
He will know us, he will show us,<br />
he will lead us through the night.<br />
Always blessing, sins redressing,<br />
every tongue will be confessing,<br />
that he is the Son of God!<br />
<br />
With this song, all four verses, There was Starlight on the Hillside, and Shine On, we are ready to sing in Sacrament meeting, all songs about light. The light that leads to Christ, the light of Christ, and the light we can share with others. Merry Christmas!<br />

I had a question last Christmas asking for authenticity to confirm that Spencer J. Condie wrote the two verses above. If your bishop or primary presidency needs authentication send me an email and I will make sure that you can get that. Sadly, it doesn't seem like enough to take my word for it. Elder Condie and family lived on Tannenweg at the same time we did. They lived on the same side of the street as we did and were two houses down.

When I was in our previous ward (before the split) the kids requested "Once there was a Snowman" every Sunday. Sometimes two or three times a Sunday. It was their theme song. I got really tired of singing that song every single week. Anytime the kids could request songs, it was always that song!<br />
When the ward split I tried not to sing that song very often. Today I offered to sing it with the kids and they commented that we never sing anymore. So I told them that was the theme song of the other ward. Then I said I didn't know what our ward's theme song was and a bunch of kids at the same time said "Hie to Kolob". That's true. That's our song. It's requested every week. Sometimes multiple times, even though we have already sung it. <br />
I imagine every primary has a song like that. What's yours?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08074062337242080201noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930968494918979878.post-53553863810423678892011-11-20T15:39:00.000-08:002011-11-20T15:39:52.205-08:00The Very Best PraiseToday after church I checked my FB page and this is what I found:<br />

I feel bad that it took this long. We didn't work it into the primary program so it had to wait until that was over. It turns out that I wish I had listened to her and taught it right away. The kids still aren't great with Shine On, but they picked this up so fast they sounded program ready by the end of singing time! Sometimes the kids really do such a great job that I am speechless and amazed at how quickly they fill the room with the spirit.<br />
I had a lot of opinions back and forth about the "Hosanna" bit. I decided to go for it after my president and I talked about the little kids who couldn't read and would be able to use it for the time being to put that word together in their head. In a few weeks, the hose and Anna will be replaced with the word and pictures of angels. <br />

I have loved it since I was a little girl. I like the image of holding my light in my hand for all to see. I started teaching this song about the middle of October. The first thing I noticed is that the notes are a lot higher than I remembered. I don't have a super high voice anymore and it's hard to hit the notes. The second thing was the kids seemed to struggle with it. Two weeks ago I used our CTR beanbag and we played the game where one child waits outside while another hides the beanbag in the room, then the kids sing louder or softer to help them find the beanbag. That gave us a lot of repetition with the song and the kids are singing it better. I want to include it with our Christmas songs for Sacrament meeting so that all our songs are themed around light.<br />
One of the teachers said they needed more words on the cards. More words got me thinking, so when I went to do The Spirit of God last week, I went with a poster. <br />

I get to sit with my family and soak up the spirit and the talks. I'm getting ready to teach "The Spirit of God" and the primary president's request, so another week is welcome. I remember learning it for the program in the early 1980's, and the chorister had a visual of a garden hose and a picture of a girl which makes "hose" "Anna". I can't decide if I am going to use that, and the only reason I would is because I have never forgotten that very memorable visual aid! I can still see it in my head 30 years later!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08074062337242080201noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930968494918979878.post-3367562544575352312011-10-18T07:02:00.000-07:002015-10-25T08:02:36.100-07:00Due to overwhelming request: Halloween Songs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This week we have a primary activity and we are going to sing these to the parents. I would have to say by far the kids love "A mean old witch with a Hat" and "Halloween" (The one with witches sailing through the sky). I remember singing these in primary when I was a little girl. My kids love them, and my primary kids too! My son told me this is the first year we have ever sung them, and I'm glad I finally pulled them out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you create fond memories of these songs too!</div>

I took those to the Primary President for approval and she said okay so we sang some last week. The children loved them. They had such a great time singing them. We do sing other seasonal songs, Christmas, Easter, patriotic songs, pioneer songs, but this was something I had always been afraid to try. I think I always figured that if someone was going to complain it would be about this. The surprise was, the kids loved it and the parents didn't mind! It was so fun! I love this time after the program where we get to play and just enjoy singing.<br />
We are also currently learning "Shine On" and we will be starting "The Spirit of God" soon.<br />
If anyone is interested in the Halloween songs let me know, I'll scan them and email them to you. Please keep in mind, this is a copy of my mother's copy from the early 1980's and that was copied from the Friend. At least it's not a copy of a mimeo!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08074062337242080201noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930968494918979878.post-6999157286150944452011-09-11T12:59:00.000-07:002011-09-11T12:59:36.929-07:00Choosing Sticks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sometimes it's so hard to choose which child should be selected to help or to pick a song. Last night I was at our local Lakeshore Learning (it was 10.95 for a package of 36 sticks) store and I picked up these wooden sticks in the shape of boys and girls. I had each child in the primary color one in to represent themself. They wrote their name on the stick part and we put them in a box (I'll make a garden out of foam for them for later). During singing time all I had to do was choose a stick, they are so new, I didn't even know which ones belonged to my kids. I made one up for me too. I like to pick songs. I will also make two up for visitors and probably one that looks like a missionary so we can invite them in and have them pick songs too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUzpa69ExGhy4bOhoHZ1q71-OiLQMHSeXQDG3XP826Oj9CAV2LQlyuLSRv2ny8UfWLD-H90bvh_nZyYaN-GvsQYim3_AyrXRmTiuwp0ACvXloy3kilOAufPfQ36A-kr9PidhaXYM-j/s1600/DSCN4333.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUzpa69ExGhy4bOhoHZ1q71-OiLQMHSeXQDG3XP826Oj9CAV2LQlyuLSRv2ny8UfWLD-H90bvh_nZyYaN-GvsQYim3_AyrXRmTiuwp0ACvXloy3kilOAufPfQ36A-kr9PidhaXYM-j/s320/DSCN4333.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfRcIt-JiGNYog6boo1mz3WZo9tEUXSpPtAQRo36XmmJqj9BeU2eFhpFEzlJ1dJt87iXcB_vnt3eZX0-Q3szz4GTLNmDV4ZBjwJIxzg0p0r2bAn17L_p2bwqztEvWgQcYynEp4dfFM/s320/DSCN4332.JPG" width="320" /></div><span id="goog_33682776"></span><span id="goog_33682777"></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08074062337242080201noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930968494918979878.post-40334347327356028382011-08-21T12:17:00.000-07:002011-08-21T12:17:40.462-07:00Some extreme marshmallow action<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4j4k3c5GI-tlOK_qqyKXUXLXefU0TQLF5y8oev14AyoM2KpmnXT3oAIkWfknqa2Nu3QgI22zmBjPnIErp-w8P9Rp9SO9lZUszI4K-UKdkTFMKSgTROg2Ryzr220D3zhmiNfFE9e1z/s1600/DSCN6002_edited-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4j4k3c5GI-tlOK_qqyKXUXLXefU0TQLF5y8oev14AyoM2KpmnXT3oAIkWfknqa2Nu3QgI22zmBjPnIErp-w8P9Rp9SO9lZUszI4K-UKdkTFMKSgTROg2Ryzr220D3zhmiNfFE9e1z/s320/DSCN6002_edited-1.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>I had an idea in the middle of the week to use marshmallows to motivate the kids (actually my idea was for jaw breakers, so thanks to Mary for talking sense into me). The idea is that for every song the kids sing well I will put a marshmallow in a bowl. At the end of singing time I would put them all in my mouth and try to sing to the kids. There are 12 songs in the program, they got 11 marshmallows in the bowl.<br />

I could barely breathe. The kids though sang their hearts out to see me do this. I probably won't ever do it again, but I got great feedback from the kids - they loved it. Figures.<br />

The kids loved the praise from the fanfare and understood how proud I was of their singing. I had her play it for me after primary so you get the idea.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08074062337242080201noreply@blogger.com2
