As a Child of God

I'm excited to start teaching this song. I've searched LOTS of sites trying to decide how best to teach it. And let me just say there are some awesome ideas out there.

Here are a few that I have found:

In the Leafy Treetops

Mormon Mama on a Mission

Primarily Singing
The Crazy Chorister

Sharla Dance's blog Teaching Primary Music

Plus lots of ideas on the LDS Chorister Facebook page.

And the LDS Choristers blog has a great flip chart.

And if you want to teach ASL here is a great YouTube video. She simplifies and explains each sign.

I'm still deciding which song to do ASL with this year.

I love when so many share their ideas and talents. It makes this calling much easier.

I decided to go with Sharla Dance's melody maps. LOVE this idea. I haven't tried a melody map with my kiddos yet so I thought I'd take the plunge. She has a file you can copy and enlarge at a copy center but I decided to make my own. (Since it was snowing and I didn't want to venture out in the cold).
I also want to make sure the kids know the meaning of this beautiful song. I like to ask questions and see if they know the answers. Here are the questions I'm asking with scripture references for my SR kiddos. It's my little contribution.

Happy Singing!
