Nephi's Courage

I've been trying to figure out how to teach this great song. My SR knows it well so I will just be reviewing it but most of my JR don't know it at all.

There are sooooo many cute ideas out there for teaching this song. I don't like to 're-invent the wheel' but I do like to put my own spin on it. Here are a few I have added to:

The OCD Primary Chorister made a cute flip chart with pictures that she drew. You can link to it HERE.  I decided to use this with my SR to review but I re-did it and just put one 'key word' with each picture.

There are NO pictures for the chorus.

Camille over on her blog had a darling idea of teaching the first two verses of the song with puppets.

You can check out her post HERE. 

There weren't puppets for the chorus and Camille does the 3rd verse a different way so I made some puppets for them.

Susan Fitch has some really cute puppets on her Etsy Shop. You can check them out HERE.

I used her puppets but on the church's website there are some there too.

Here's how mine turn out.

When the kids know the verse pretty well I'm going to pull out the 'STAGE'. 

I use a shower or curtain rod with a long curtain attached. I have 2 teachers hold the rod. The kids stand behind the curtain and hold the puppets up over the rod as we sing.

Happy Singing!

One thing my new little Sunbeams like to do is hold things while we sing. And one of their favorite songs is 'A Happy Family'. I had some cute family stick puppets HERE, but not enough for all my Sunbeams. So I made a few more to add to my collection.

These are also great for story telling in FHE or Primary lessons.

Family Stick Puppets

What Primary child doesn't know the song: 'A Happy Family'? It's taught at home as well as in Nursery. I remember singing it as a lullaby when my kids were little.

Here is a really cute set of stick puppets. There are LOTS of uses for them. I use them in Jr. Primary and Nursery when we sing A Happy Family. I have also used them with other songs about the family. I've even used them when telling a story in a lesson.

I have another post with MORE family stick puppets HERE.

ENJOY!
