Back-To-School Review Singing Time

This week, I'm straight up, stealing an idea from another blogger.  Her blog post can be found here:  http://camillesprimaryideas.blogspot.ca/2012/08/back-to-school-review-singing-time.html#comment-form

If your too lazy to go to her blog, here's what I'm doing.

 

School for our Primary kids started last Tuesday. (Thankgoodness!)  So I thought it would be appropriate to do a back-to-school themed singing time to review our program songs this week.

 

PREP:

Gather the following items: backpack, eraser, glue, markers, ruler, pencil, scissors, and pencil sharpener.  Place all items into a backpack. 

ERASER: “Erase" (don’t sing) the words “choose” and “right” in the song Choose the Right.

GLUE: Glue your legs together and your arms to your sides so you hold really still while we sing I Know my Savior Loves Me.

MARKERS: Only sing Nephi’s Courage when you are wearing the same color as the marker that is held up.

RULER: Measure the volume as we sing Stand for the Right. Point to 1 inch for softer up to 12 inches for louder.

 

PENCIL: Write with your hands (Do the actions while singing) to the song The Wiseman.

SCISSORS: Sing When I am Baptized legato (smoothly) as if it were a piece of paper for the verse. Then when we sing the chorus, cut it up by singing staccato (choppy).

SHARPENER: Sharpen the song by enunciating each word for I’m Trying to Be Like Jesus.

 

ACTIVITY:

I called kids up to pick an item out of the backpack, and then we sang the song as directed. 

It was fun, but the kids were really mellow, so they didn't really get into it.  Regardless, it was a good review for the kids.
