I Love To See The Temple part 2

I'm teaching I Love To See The Temple this month. Because my kiddos already know it, I was just going to dive right in with the ASL (American Sign Language) that I posted about HERE.
But after listening carefully to the words, I decided to take one Sunday and just concentrate on the words and it's meaning. Sometimes I think we sing the familiar songs over and over and forget what the words are really saying and this song has such a beautiful message.
So I went to my good old stand by books for lesson ideas.

And here is what I came up with:
Sister Perry is such an inspired composer and I love to tell the kids about the composers any chance I get. Also the questions will get the kids thinking.
Next week, I'll jump into the ASL.

I also made some question and answer cards to go with it.

Happy Singing!

  3. This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I did a Name that Tune game where I hummed a bunch of Janice Kapp Perry's songs and the kids had to name the song. (There are over 10 of hers in the Children Songbook) Then I asked them what all of these songs had in common and I showed them a picture of her and told them they were all written by her. Then, I related your story of why she wrote I Love to See the Temple and reviewed the song with them. I will probably use your question and answer cards next week. Thank you!

    1. That's a great idea. I'll have to remember that when I'm finished with the program songs.
