My song pick for the program for April is "I Feel My Savior's Love". I've been searching the web for a way to teach it to my JR kids. Over on the FB LDS Primary Choristers page, Katie Gibbons had a cute idea. So I made it on my computer and added one more phrase.
THANKS Katie!
I'm only teaching the 1st verse and chorus, so this is only for that.
I am so in love with this song! Mother's Day has never been a favorite of mine simply because I never thought I was doing enough. But Shawna Edwards has captured my exact feelings in her new Mother's Day song called 'More Than Enough'. You can buy it HERE from her website. You can get just the sheet music or a bundle with an MP3 recording.
There is also a darling YouTube video sung by the One Voice Children's Choir.
Showing the video would be a great way to introduce it.
I've decided to teach this to my Primary kids to sing in Sacrament meeting on Mother's Day.
On Shawna Edwards blog she gives a suggestion on how to teach the chorus to Primary children. HERE
One suggestion she makes is having the YM and YW sing some of the verses with the Primary joining in on the chorus.
I contacted my YW President and our girls are singing all three verses with the Primary on the chorus. I'm excited to introduce it this Sunday. I thought I'd do the lesson plan by Sis. Edwards by singing the chorus and having the kids listen for several things mothers often do for their children. I made some picture cards with key words they can put in order and sing from. It will work well for both JR and SR.

This is ONLY for the chorus. There are a few word changes in the chorus on verses 2 & 3 so I made cards for them also in blue and there is a special phrase at the ending.
