School Supply Song Pick

School starts next week for our ward so I wanted to do something with a school theme but still continue to practice the program songs. 

I came up with a school supply song pick and the game 'Red Rover' (it has been on the LDS Chorister FB page and several blogs before).

Here's my plan: (very easy and low prep)

Happy Singing!

Head Shoulders Elbows Hips What?

Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes!

After searching many sites, I found all kinds of fun things to do with this favorite wiggle song. But I needed a visual (cause I'm a visual learner). This is especially great for the Senior Primary kids. It makes them think. So I have put it altogether. I've included pictures as well as words. Here are some of the ideas:

1. Have pictures of the body parts. Place the pictures on the board. Ask a child to mix them up. Then sing it in the new order.

2. Do different kinds of clothing.

3. Do different kinds of body movements.

4. Do other body parts.

5. Try omitting selected words each time as you sing.

Thankful Pictures

There is a great Facebook group for LDS Choristers. There are tons of ideas on there. I have posted on there before. So if you've seen my stuff on there then this will be a repeat. I'm going to post one here. It's my Thankful pictures. With Thanksgiving coming up these could be used for lots of things.

One way I use them is in the Nursery with the song: Family Prayer. I pick several pictures that the kids can relate to and put the pictures face down in the middle of our circle. We hold hands and walk in a circle as we sing. Then we kneel down. Next I pick 3-4 children to take turns picking a picture card. They turn it over and talk about why we are thankful for it. You could also do this with the Jr. Primary, just pick 6-7 children at a time to come up to the circle.

Another way is with the Sr. Primary but it could work with Jr. too. I pick several of the pictures and pick a Primary song to go with it. Then have a child pick a picture and play a form of 'Name That Tune' to try and guess the song. Then sing it and talk about why we are thankful for it.

I've also included some of the songs I chose to go with some of the pictures.

Enjoy and happy singing!

Chorister Toolbag

If you're a newbie to being a chorister, you'll want to take some time to get your 'Chorister's Toolbag' put together. It's kind of like your GO-TO-BAG that you always have with you. It comes in handy on those Sundays when things aren't running as smoothly as you'd like. Kids get bored easily and you need something you can grab quickly to 'jazz' it up.

Here's what I always have in my bag ready for when I need some extra help.

Here's my list.

If you'd like to make a toolbag, I'm sharing some of my signs.

I hope this helps you stay ahead of the game in your Primary!

I'd love to here from you and what you have in your bag.

Thanks for stopping by!
