Sometimes I allow them to circle words as well and that means that where the word is circled the children sing "la" instead. Then sing the verse again, and have more children rub words out. ![]() Black Board: write the words to the verse/s up on the blackboard, sing the song through properly, then select children to come and rub 2 words out each. It is thin, but actually held up okay-I just had to have a teacher help me hold it when the kids punched (one of us on each side).ħ. ![]() Then to use the poster, the kids punch through the circles to get what is on the other side. To decorate the poster board, you just put words like "bam" "kaboom" etc. " Punch Out"-make a poster board with 6-9 cut-out circles, put tissue paper over the circles, and anything you want behind the circles (at New Years I put bells behind the circles that "jingled"-we said we were "ringing in the New Year", for On a Golden Springtime, you could put suns behind them with phrases to the song/questions/etc.).You can use other bird pictures as appropriate The owl means we sing "hooo", the canary is when we sing properly, and the parrot is when we talk the words. Once again I give the wand "power" to a child and they get to choose how we sing the song by interchanging between birds during the song (using the wand to point). The challenge children love this part of singing time and want to sing longer and longer so it is successful. I allow the children to have the "power" but it is a privilege and they know if they muck about they won't have another turn. The person conducting has the "power" to have everyone sing, row 1, row 2 or row 3 (waving across the individual rows) or it they point it at a specific child they have to sing alone (only for a few words of the song). This wand is used to control who is singing. " Conducting wand" (plastic tube filled with water and glitter).They were really cute, and the kids loved them. Leading Sticks: I made ribbon wands, or leading sticks out of slurpee straws that I hole punched the end of and tied a length of red, yellow and blue ribbon onto.(Now the children joke that we'll "Choose the Right Way") Once again, we end up singing the same new song several times without the children realizing that we are reviewing. If a child has already received a sticker, it automatically goes to the person on the right. Whichever child is on that spot, gets a sticker (which I have another teacher who is sitting hand them out so I can immediately go back to playing the game). When the pianist stops playing everyone gets on a word and I pull out one of the words from a bag I'm holding. I place them in a circle and the children stand in front of one and as the music plays we walk around the circle singing the song. Another review game is: I put a phrase or a word on individual pieces of paper (depending on the number of children in the group).I then had the kids choose a prophet, try to guess if they knew what that prophet was known for, and then we talked a little bit about that thing and sang a song that went with it. I chose about six prophets that I could think of songs that my kids knew. At the very bottom they have quotes or the things they were known for in their presidency. ![]() I pulled out my Gospel Art kit and read the back of the pictures of each of the prophets. Prophet Themes: Each prophet seems to have one or two "themes" they are remembered for.Please remember that since these ideas have been sent to The Idea Door, they are AS IS, I have no other info other then what you read! THANK YOU SO much Tracy and to all those that shared these ideas on that list. ![]() I thought they might help you add some ideas to that section for you.” These ideas where sent in by Tracy of NY, she said “I gleaned these off the “primusic” Yahoo group for two years.
