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!

I'm Trying to be Like Jesus

Beautiful song, Primary classic!

The Senior kiddos know it pretty well except for the 2nd verse but the Junior kids stumble with so many words.

I used the 2017 Sharing Time Outline idea to teach it. You can check it out HERE. But my Junior needs more work. They got a little bored so I wanted to make it a little more engaging this week.

I'm going to springboard off an idea I read on the LDS Chorister's Facebook page and of course I can't find it again to give credit to the original person. 

But THANKS whomever you are!

It's a spin on Hot & Cold. She called it 'Gathering'. You make about 50 little cards (like stars, flowers, or CTR shields, etc). You place them around the room. While everyone sings, one child goes around gathering the cards (one at a time) and brings them up to the front.

So last night as I'm trying to fall asleep, I get my much needed inspiration.

I'm calling it 'SCATTER & GATHER'.

I made cards for the things that the Savior taught. I will scatter them around the room and a child will gather them as we sing. 

Here's my plan with a few rules to keep things orderly.

I hope this will help us learn the song better but most importantly bring the spirit and learn how to be like Jesus.

Happy Gathering!
