Interesting how new callings and life seem to take up those extra moments you had hoped to have. Maybe I'll eek out some time this year to post things I've done for the songs in this year's outline. No promises though, but I will try to once in a while.</span><br />

My brain started to churn with ideas as I was reading the outline and I had to keep reminding myself I wasn't in this calling anymore. Old habits die hard. Actually, the music leader that replaced me wasn't in very long since she ended up getting married (excited for her) so a new music leader was called a couple of months ago. She is doing a </span><span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: Marker Felt;"><span style="font-size: 21px;"><b>fantastic</b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> job and it is so great to see the kids connecting with her. Makes me feel </span><span style="color: lime; font-family: Gill Sans Ultra Bold;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">great</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> after the wonderful relationship I developed with the children when I was put in and all the hard work over the years in getting the kids to love to sing (they did not like to sing when I was first called, especially the boys, now the boys love to sing—didn't help either that we were just divided when I was first called and our new ward was a melting pot from the various wards) that they are continuing to love singing with the new music leader and she does enjoy the time with them. It is nice knowing the </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Cooper Black;"><span style="font-size: 27px;">kids</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> are continuing to be taken care of. Makes me miss it though. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, I did try to squeeze some time in to finish the flip chart. Didn't quite get some other things done, but oh well, gotta go with the flow sometimes. Sorry I don't have time to share some ideas on presenting the song, but I'm sure at this late date, you have probably sparked a few of your own ideas. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I won't be introducing this song either since the current music leader has already had the children working on it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have to keep this post short. Still have to work on what I'm going to do tomorrow as I sub and and I still need to run a few errands and do a few more things—it's already 7:00 p.m. Guess I better run </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Curlz MT;"><span style="font-size: 35px;"><b><i>faaaaaaaaast!!! </i></b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'll try and post later what I did for singing time.</span><br />

I've always liked having the children sing the first verse since it is as if a </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Curlz MT; font-size: large;"><b><i>child</i></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"> </span>is asking the questions and expressing his or her feelings. The second verse I prefer the </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: 19px;"><b><i>teachers/adults</i></b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> to sing since it has to do with answering the child's questions. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last year I had worked a little bit on this song throughout the year (little did I know it was going to be in this year's program) and it always gave me goose bumps as I felt the spirit through the children's sweet voices.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes it can be hard teaching children how to do duets. </span><span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: Marker Felt;"><span style="font-size: 21px;"><b>Heck,</b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> it can be hard for me because I just want to start singing the other person's part when I hear them in between singing my part and before I know it, I'm mixing the song up between the different parts. </span><span style="color: green; font-family: Silom; font-size: large;"><b><i>Sigh!!!</i></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Teachers can have a difficult time at it too I've found. Anyway, one way I found very helpful in learning a song with parts, especially if they haven't had much experience singing parts, is to split them up—one group on one side of the room and the other group on the other side. This helps them focus and hear their part better as they are</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"> </span></span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Curlz MT; font-size: large;"><b>learning</b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> the song, yet you still get the </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Curlz MT;"><span style="font-size: 35px;"><b><i>duet</i></b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> affect. Besides, it is something a little different to do than the usual singing in their seats. After they get the song down, then they have a much easier time singing the parts all together in their seats.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I originally started doing a flip chart way back when I wanted to teach this song, but decided against it. I felt it would be too difficult to deal with while singing especially when I physically separated them into groups across the room as well as when they sang their parts together—how would I handle two flip charts at the same time? Of course, I could use my magnetic sheet protectors and post them all on the board, which I like to usually do with flip charts as we are learning the song, but I really wanted something more simple for this song. So I did a poster-type version.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is sized for an 11" x 17" sized paper. You can have it printed at a copy center if you don't have access to a printer that prints this size. Make sure to have it printed on card stock and not regular weight paper. The heavier card stock will help make it more durable and less flimsy. Then just tape each verse together in order butting up the bottom of the first one to the top of the second section and so on. This way you can fold it up at the taped seams for easier storage. This poster makes it easy to hold each verse up or even post on the board if you like. I usually have a helper for each group hold their verse up for their group. The first verse is in black text and the second verse is in red to help differentiate the verses. Sorry for the bad lighting on the pictures. It's late and I didn't have a good place to take them. Last minute thing you see.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was going to still try and get the flip chart version done that I started a couple of years ago for those who may still prefer that format, but I was just asked tonight to sub in singing time this Sunday {{{YEAH!!!}}} and I'm going to be very busy with work and other activities this weekend and still have to somehow find time to figure out and prepare what to do for singing time. If I do find some time to finish up the flip chart and post it, I will. But as I said, this poster version has been very easy to use in teaching this song.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sorry I've been MIA the past few months. I truly thought I would have time to continue to post things that I have done from years past and share more helpful tips and ideas after I was released, but alas, life somehow finds ways to fill in those supposedly extra time slots and life continues on more busier than ever. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thought I would at least try and post the flip chart for this month's song in case you are still in need of one. I only have the chorus in there one time, so print the chorus twice if you want to have it for each verse.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'll try and post my poster for next month's song "A Child's Prayer" as well</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">— hopefully soon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hope you are enjoying singing time! I sure miss it but do get opportunities to sub. </span><br />

If you click on the Easter link on the side bar under </span><br />
<span style="color: #3366ff; font-family: Curlz MT; font-size: large;"><b><i>"This 'n That"</i></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, there are a couple of other Easter flip charts as well as some ideas.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Cooper Black;"><span style="font-size: 27px;">favorites,</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> in my long list of favorites, is </span><span style="color: #408000; font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"><span style="font-size: 27px;"><i>"When He Comes Again".</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This is <b>REALLY</b> one of my hubby's favorites and he thinks we <b>NEVER</b> sing it enough. Yeah, I know this is not categorized as an Easter song, but I love singing it at Easter time because it is about</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large;"><b><i>Christ,</i></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>and after all, </span><i><span style="font-family: 'Party LET'; font-size: 32pt;"><span style="color: magenta;">Easter</span></span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> is a great reminder of our Savior, his life, his love, his example, his death, his resurrection and most importantly, his </span><span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans Ultra Bold'; font-size: 16pt;"><span style="color: purple;">Atonement</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and because of his Atonement, I will one day be able to see my Savior and Heavenly Father again. So I think it is a perfect song to sing at Easter time—actually, anytime is a great time to sing it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>SINGING IN THE ROUND</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One way to teach this song is to assign each class one of the questions to sing and then everyone sings the last part together. Rotate the questions/phrases and repeat until every class has had a turn singing each of the questions. For movement, you could have them stand and sing on their turn or for more interest, you could do this as what I more formally call </span><b><span style="font-family: 'Curlz MT'; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="color: orange;">"Singing in the Round".</span></span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Basically, you post each of the question phrases or their flip chart pages on each of the four walls around the room, e.g. one wall would have, "I wonder when he comes again, will herald angels sing?", then the next wall would have posted, "Will earth be white with drifted snow, or will the world know spring?" and so forth. Assign each class to stand by one of the walls along with their teacher(s). They get 1/2—1 minute to work on their part. Take a timer or bell to ring when time is up. That helps to get their attention. Then everyone turns around and faces you—you'll be standing in the center of the room. You turn and face the first class and lead them as they sing their part, turning and leading each class as you go. When you finish the song, each class moves rotating to the next wall and phrase of the song. Repeat the process. For the little ones, the teachers will really need to help their class. If you have combined JR & SR, mix the older kids in with the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">younger kids.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORDS</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another way to teach the song is to list groups of words with three words in each group on the chalkboard or you could print word strips. The group of words will include a keyword from the phrase and two similar words not in that phrase. There are two groups of words per phrase. To play, you will hand the eraser to a child and begin singing the song. The child needs to quietly go up and erase the words or remove the word strips in the first group that are NOT in the phrase you are singing. After he/she has erased/removed the words from the first group, he/she must quickly give the eraser or tap another child on the shoulder who has not had a turn and who is of the opposite sex from them (boy-girl-boy-girl) and in a different class and that child must quickly and quietly go up and do the next group of words. You will keep singing that phrase over and over until they have erased/removed the wrong words. You may want to stop after a phrase or two and have them sing that phrase(s) together a time or two and then repeat the process. Remind the children that there is no talking so that everyone can listen and hear. If someone erases or removes the wrong word, just rewrite or replace the word strip on the board. You could also play this game after they know the song fairly well to test them and just have everyone sing the song through with you while the children erase/remove the words to see if they can do it before everyone is done singing. Here are some word groups for the first verse. I've listed the actual word in the song first in the list, so make sure when you post the words, you mix the words up within each group:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 1-A: wonder, marvel, ponder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 1-B: herald, messaging, announcing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 2-A: drifted, blowing, wandering</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 2-B: spring, summer, winter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 3-A: shine, glisten, shimmer</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 3-B: brighter, lighter, higher</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 4-A: daylight, moonlight, sunlight</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 4-B: songbirds, robins, tweeting birds</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 5-A: call, phone, tell</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 5-B: knee, lap, feet</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 6-A: gone by, before, past on</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 6-B: come to me, come close by, come nearby</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some ASL signs you can use to help teach them the song. Choose less if you want to simplify.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are looking for a flip chart, look no further. Well, maybe look a little below and there you will find it. The flip chart has both verses. When I first taught this song I made a poster for the first verse. I've included that file too if you would rather do a poster. It does need to be printed on legal size paper (8 1/2" x 14") though. I've revised some of the pictures on the poster from when I originally made mine to pictures that I put in the flip chart. If you print on legal size card stock, you could butt them up together, top-to-bottom, then tape them together and then you would have a fold up poster.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am so over </span><span style="color: #3366ff; font-family: Curlz MT; font-size: large;"><b><i>winter</i></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and ready for </span><span style="color: lime; font-family: Gill Sans Ultra Bold;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">spring</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> to be here already. Although, I have to admit it was beautiful watching the snow fall today during the snowstorm. Anywhooooo, with a bad case of spring fever as well as this month's Primary theme being "The Earth Was Created for Heavenly Father's Children", the song</span><span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"><span style="font-size: 27px;"><i><span style="color: magenta;"> "I Think the World is Glorious"</span></i></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;"> </span>is a fun one to bring out (albeit, I'm probably a bit late in posting it for February's theme—but spring is coming soon, I hope.) This is also a great song for the topic of gratitude and thankfulness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Curlz MT; font-size: large;"><b><i>FUN</i></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> way to sing this song is to divide your Primary up into four groups and when you get to the part "I sing, and sing, and sing, and sing" assign each group to sing and hold the "I sing" or "and sing" parts. To get a little more movement into it, have them stand when it is their part to sing. They continue standing until the last "and sing" is done then they all sit down. Repeat on the next group of "sing" words. It really is beautiful hearing them harmonize. I've color-coded the "sing" words on the flip chart. This makes it easier to assign each group the color they sing on. It is always </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Curlz MT; font-size: large;"><b><i>FUN </i></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">to challenge them to see if they can hold their note out without taking a breath. Make sure the kids listen to themselves as they harmonize together. It always makes them feel so Mo-Tab like (the vernacular for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir around here.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another way to do it is to have them sing that phrase together but this time they all<span style="color: orange;"> </span></span><span style="color: orange; font-family: Lithos Pro Regular;"><span style="font-size: 21px;"><b>STAND UP</b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: orange;"> </span>on their tippy toes on "I sing" and then they lower their body a little on each "and sing" until they are sitting back down in their seats or crouching down close to the floor on the last one depending on your preference on the position you want them to end up in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A </span><span style="font-family: 'Cooper Black'; font-size: 20pt;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">little</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> something else that you could add to the mix for the first verse is to split into a secondary group of <b><span style="color: purple;">teachers,</span> <span style="color: blue;">boys</span> </b>and <span style="color: magenta;"><b>girls</b></span> and assign each group to sing one of the two word sets of "The birds—and bees—and blossoms" and then all three groups would finish the phrase together "bring sweet messages to me." Oh my, I guess technically this would be the primary or first group set not the secondary since this part would actually come before the "I sing" part. For the second verse you could just have two groups having the teachers sing "For I have teachers kind and true" and then the children sing "and parents who </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">love me."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've attached the Scribd link to my flip chart. Try the song if you haven't. It is just a fun and happy song.</span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: Curlz MT;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Did you know. . .</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">that the part of the song "I'm glad that I live in this beautiful world..." is sometimes sung by Primaries using the </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Curlz MT; font-size: large;"><b><i>ascending scale</i></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> as the melody of the song? I have had several Primary Music Leaders that I know, including family members, say to me how difficult it is to sing that high in the song. They are </span><i><span style="color: #0013ff; font-family: "Party LET"; font-size: 32.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Party LET"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">surprised,</span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> but relieved when I tell them that the ascending scale was actually written as an </span><span style="color: cyan; font-family: Chalkboard;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">optional</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> higher harmonizing part for additional voices to sing or to simply have the pianist play.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We often think that the top notes in a song are the melody notes, which often times they are; however, what sometimes doesn't get noticed, as in this song, is that the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">top notes in that part of the song are smaller than the other notes</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> identifying them as </span><span style="color: lime; font-family: JI Skookumchuck; font-size: x-large;"><i>cue notes,</i></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: lime;"> </span>not the melody notes. The notes beneath the cue notes are the melody notes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a side note in reference to my last statement above about learning the song wrong, I learned a valuable lesson the first week I was called as the Primary Music Leader when I attended a double stake training meeting. I was fortunate that </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"><span style="font-size: 27px;"><i>Pat Graham</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> was the keynote speaker. If you have ever attended one of her workshops, she will ask you to sing "Give," Said the Little Stream", specifically the part "I'm small, I know, but wherever I go the ________ grow greener still." Sing it and then go and check it out in the songbook to see if you sang the correct word that goes in the blank. You may be </span><i><span style="font-family: 'Party LET'; font-size: 32pt;"><span style="color: magenta;">surprised.</span></span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I was. In fact, the correct word has always been the same word. The lesson I learned was that sometimes we learn a song and then we may teach it to others without questioning whether we learned it correctly or not and it just keeps getting passed on down that way. So I've learned to always look in my songbook and verify if I know the words and the melody correctly before I teach the children. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just thought I would share that </span><span style="color: green; font-family: Curlz MT;"><span style="font-size: 35px;"><b><i>tidbit</i></b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> of info with you that I learned. You can find wonderful stories like I have in Pat Graham's book</span><span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"><span style="font-size: 27px;"><i><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">"We Shall Make Music".</span></i></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"> </span>It has wonderful stories of the Primary songs and their composers that Pat has compiled. One more thing. If you listen to the MP3 of this song on LDS.org, you will find that they sing that part of the song in the first verse per the melody and the second verse per the higher, optional harmony ascending scale version.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and some ideas I've used to teach this song in the past.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First off, the </span><i><span style="color: red; font-family: "JI Skookumchuck"; font-size: 24.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">visual</span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I made has no text because this is a fairly easy song to teach using pictures and/or objects. As you can see by the picture on the right. I visualized this song using pictures that represent the </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Curlz MT;"><span style="font-size: 35px;"><b><i>different parts</i></b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> of the song displayed around a </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Gill Sans Ultra Bold;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">BIG WORLD</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> with the first verse surrounding the top half of the world and the second verse around the bottom half of the world while sharing the world for both of the verses as well as the images where both verses meet on the right hand side of the world (Heavenly Father and heart). The first verse is color-coded with a red border and the second verse with a blue border.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>TO MAKE</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just printed the pictures, cut them out leaving a little white border around them, laminated them for durability and applied magnetic tape on the backside so they can be easily displayed and removed on the magnetic chalkboard. For the world I wanted it to be big, so I printed that page in a poster format as big as I could on four pages, cut and taped them together with their edges butted up. See the "How To" tab on the bar above on some tips on how to do poster format.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A quick and easy way to teach the song is to put up each picture as you teach and work on each phrase. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>A WAY TO PRESENT THE SONG</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I've probably mentioned before, I love to use objects as teaching aids in teaching and/or presenting new songs to the kids. It is just a more fun, dimensional way to present something other than the usual flat pictures we often use. I keep a large storage container with a variety of objects I can pick from and use for many songs. When I first presented the song years ago, I used objects and played a memory game with the children, but you can use the song visuals I made too. I had the pianist play the first verse of the song as I showed each object to the children. I did not sing the first time through; I just let them listen to the music and concentrate on the objects. I had the objects in a bag and showed them one at a time putting each back in the bag as I grabbed the next one. I then asked the children if they remembered what I pulled out. I had each child come up and hold the object that they remembered/answered correctly in whatever order they came up. If they didn't remember them all the first time, I sang the song through the next time and had the children holding the objects step forward when their object was sung while the Primary listened for the objects that they hadn't remembered the first time through. After singing, I had the children answer which items were still missing and the ones that answered correctly came up and joined the other children holding their objects. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After all the objects were up, we sang to see if we had them in the right order. Of course they weren't originally in the right order. We did that 2-3 times until we were sure they were all in order. To help in determining the right order, each child stepped forward then back when their object was sung. Later in teaching and reviewing the song I used the visuals on the board while doing the hand signing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>A FEW OTHER IDEAS</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have them put your visuals up in the correct order.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have a child leave the room and another child remove 1 or 2 of the visuals (or objects if using those), have the child come back into the room and after singing the song through, the child needs to guess which one(s) is missing. For the SR kids you may want to mix up the visuals on the board.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To review, have all the visuals displayed around the room and as the Primary sings, you walk around and tap a child on the shoulder or head which singles them to reverently go and get the part of the song that you just tapped them on and place the visual in the correct order on the board and then they sit back down. This is a continuous process as you tap and sing nonstop through the verse. Sing the verse over and over until the children have them all on the board. If they aren't in order, sing again and tap a child to go up and fix one and sit back down repeat tapping the children while singing until they are all in order.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Divide the Primary in half and have one side tap out the STEADY BEAT of the song with their hands on their lap and the other group tap out the UNEVEN RHYTHM of the song. Switch.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sway & Freeze: Sway the arms back-and-forth to the tempo of the song like a metronome and freeze on the last word of each main phrase making sure everyone ends up in the same direction. This helps the children to feel with their bodies the rhythm of the music as their ears process the melody and words of the song. Here is an example of when to sway and freeze for the first phrase:</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">right--------------whenever</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">left----------------hear</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">right--------------song</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">left----------------bird</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">right--------------look </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">left----------------blue</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">right & freeze----sky</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is my cheat sheet on signing and objects I've used. Click on the hyperlink words in the table to see how to do the signing. Oh, I forgot to get a picture of some of the objects I've used. I'll try and add one later.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hope this gets you thinking on ways to present and review the song.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you need more info on handbells, take a looksie at </span><a href="http://intheleafytreetopsthebirdssing.blogspot.com/2012/03/color-key-for-bells-pipe-chimes.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">this post from last year</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://intheleafytreetopsthebirdssing.blogspot.com/2012/03/stand-for-right-bell-chart.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">this one too</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've converted my original bell chart from the 11" x 14" tabloid size to the 8 1/2" x 11" paper size. This should make it easier to print. I've included all four verses with the chorus only once. Just print the verses you want to work on with the bells. You can tape the pages of the verses together or keep separate and post on your board. If you don't tape the verses together, you may want to number the pages in order and mark which verse they are so if you happen to drop the pages and get them mixed up, you can easily put them together.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, it is the start of a </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Cooper Black;"><span style="font-size: 27px;">New Primary Year</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and time to get going on the first program song of the year. If you are like me, or rather how I was before I got "booted" out of my singing job, </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Curlz MT;"><span style="font-size: 35px;"><b><i>{sniffle—sniffle}</i></b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I liked to just have some singing </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Curlz MT;"><span style="font-size: 35px;"><b><i>fun</i></b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> the first week and spend time getting to know the new, little </span><span style="color: yellow; font-family: Marker Felt;"><span style="font-size: 21px;"><b>SUNBEAMS </b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">by singing all their favorite and familiar songs they've sung in nursery and let them be the stars of Singing Time by letting them be your helpers. Besides, it always seems to be </span><span style="color: #ff9200; font-family: Party LET;"><span style="font-size: 43px;"><i>chaotic</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> the first week as the children and teachers try and figure out where they are supposed to be, so some fun, no pressure singing is just the ticket the first week. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, if you are ready to jump right in and get going on this month's song, here is a flip chart for<span style="color: purple;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Cooper Black'; font-size: 27px;"><span style="color: purple;">"I Am a Child of God"</span></span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: 'Cooper Black'; font-size: 27px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">for all four verses. I have also included the descant part in case you want to venture a stab at it. Since your Primary is probably very familiar with the chorus, I only added it once in the flip chart. If you want to have the chorus after each verse, just select those pages and print how many copies you want. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't have time right now to post ideas on how to present the song, but you probably already have thought of or found some to do. If I have time later, I will post some ideas that I brainstormed when I was making my plans last fall before my demise as Primary Music Leader. ;-)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">in our ward—or at least I will be officially released this coming Sunday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Silom; font-size: large;"><b><i>SIGH!!!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have known that I was going to be released since after our Primary program, and yes, I bawled and bawled when I first found out. You know, I thought I would be ready for it when it finally came, but I was quite surprised at how much I wasn't when it hit me that I wouldn't be teaching and singing with these kids anymore. I have grown quite attached to them over the years. It has been hard these past couple of months knowing my end was near and not saying anything and pretending with the children that everything was normal. But, maybe it was good too since it allowed it to sink in for me and get me use to the upcoming change. As hard and time consuming as this calling can be, I have to say, I have reaped many blessings from it and have loved working with my Primary children and have not regretted one moment of this calling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So now as we leave the old year behind us, so do I take my leave from this calling. The new music leader has so many musical talents she brings with her that I'm sure will be a treat for the children. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Curlz MT; font-size: large;"><b><i>Now, what am I to do with this blog, you may ask?</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, I still have many things I have done from past years that I have yet to post, so I am still planning on keeping this blog active for now in hopes to get them posted. I have also wanted to post more helpful tips that I have learned over the years that I have never seemed to find time to post with all the current stuff to do for each week, so maybe I'll find some time now to share them. Also, I had started brain storming and planning for 2013 last fall and had some ideas, so maybe if time permits, I might be able to get some of them posted as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am jealous of you all that get to continue on as music leader. I was so looking forward to this year since my kids knew or were fairly familiar with the songs for the 2013 program, so I was excited at the prospect of having more time to teach some other new songs this year. So, enjoy the year and I hope to still hear from you on how things are going.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you haven't already started planning for the </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Curlz MT;"><span style="font-size: 35px;"><b><i>2013</i></b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> year, it is probably </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">time to get-a-going on it. Below is a pdf of the </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Gill Sans Ultra Bold;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">planner</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I've made for the 2013 year. The first part is a sample of January partially filled out. I have used this format over the years while I've been the </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: JI Skookumchuck; font-size: x-large;"><i>Primary Music Leader</i></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and it has served me well. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've tried to make it somewhat generic since everyone may do things a little differently.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do try and fill in the "opening exercise" part with the songs at least quarterly. Last year I took the time up front to complete it for the whole year and it was great. Although I may fill it out ahead of time, that doesn't mean I can't take the liberty to change things around if needed or the mood strikes me. For the singing time portion, I do try and fill in some general ideas and thoughts of what I would like to do up front and then make changes if needed and solidify my plans at least a week or two before each month.</span><br />

If you would like an Excel version, please email me (email address on sidebar) and I will be happy to send you one. Please note, although I've set the file to fit to print, depending on your printer's printable boundaries, you may have to make some slight adjustments to the column widths or row heights so each page fits to a page. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Curlz MT; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>Caroling Around the Piano.</i></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've done this before in my Primary and the kids have loved it, so I plan on doing it again this year after we practice the Christmas song we will be singing next Sunday in Sacrament Meeting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Caroling Around the Piano" </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">is pretty easy to do. Just roll the piano to the front of the room, if possible, and have the children gather around it. I prefer the JR to sit around the piano and the SR to stand. If you prefer, you could just have the children stay in their seats. And then we sing. That's basically it. I have used some different methods in determining which songs to sing to add some extra fun. Here are a few ways:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have some ornaments on a little tree to pick from or gift bags/boxes with songs or a nativity set to select and put together on a table.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let each class choose a favorite Primary Christmas song or Hymn. I do this for SR but not JR.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year I am going to have different bells with tags on them with a song and a way to shake the <a href="http://intheleafytreetopsthebirdssing.blogspot.com/2012/12/jingle-bells.html">Jingle Bell Jingles found here</a> as we sing for JR. For this activity I don't use the Jingle Bells for SR since they will be using the Christmas songbooks I made.</span></li>
</ul>

You could use Hymnals, but it is quite a chore to round enough of them up. To make these, I made copies of Christmas Primary songs and hymns from the LDS web site found <a href="http://www.lds.org/music/library/childrens-songbook?lang=eng">here for Primary songs</a> and <a href="http://www.lds.org/music/library/hymns?lang=eng">here for Hymns</a>, for each book I wanted to make. I have also typed up the words for some secular songs for the back of the book that we sometimes sing with the young kiddies in my family but I do not use/sing them in Primary since I don't feel Sunday church is an appropriate place for singing these type of songs especially since they are not church approved. I also made a cover sheet and divider sheets to separate the Primary songs from the hymns as well as the more secular songs. I've included the file I used for the dividers in case you don't want to make your own. (I can't believe I still had the file.) These books have held up really well over the years and I just gently remind the kids to treat them respectfully so they can last a long time. I have about 30+ of these made since I use them for when my extended family gets together at Christmas, which sometimes can be quite the crowd, so there are plenty to go around the Primary. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this year, I want to close singing time with the lights off and use a lamp for some </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ambient</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> lighting while we sing "Silent Night". As an extra special treat, my pianist will bring her guitar to play. She is such a great pianist and she tinkers with the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">guitar and is willing to strum a few chords for us while we sing. I'm hoping that will set a reverent mood so I can leave them my testimony of the wonderful gift our Heavenly Father gave us when he sent Jesus Christ to be our Savor.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: 19px;"><b><i>Nativity Sing-a-Story.</i></b></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last year I did a Nativity Sing-a-Story and the children </span><span style="color: red; font-family: 'Cooper Black'; font-size: 20pt;">loved</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> it and what a wonderful and spiritual feeling of the Savior's birth that was felt by all. The script is compiled from Sharing Time ideas in the 1984 & 1985 December issues of the <i>Friend</i> magazine and from Luke 2 and Matthew 2 in the <i>Bible</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had the whole singing and sharing time last year, so this is great to use as a combined Singing and Sharing Time or you can shorten it for just a Singing Time. It is pretty easy to do. There are a few things you will need to prepare for ahead of time, but acting out and narrating the script is pretty much on the fly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are a few heads up things to prepare for (all speaking parts can be assigned that day):</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You will be narrator #1 and you will need a narrator #2, preferably an adult male. Assign ahead of time or ask a male teacher in the Primary that day. You will both need a copy of the script.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You may want to make a couple of extra copies of the script for your helpers that will help with the children.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For JR, the narrators will speak the parts as denoted but for SR, have the children read their parts. Just cut out the speaking parts to give to each child.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Simple costumes that can be easily worn over the children's clothes. Before Primary starts as the children are coming into the room, have your presidency helpers or other helpers start helping to select and dress the children in the hallway or in the back of the room. This will save time. The children can just sit in seats on the front row until it is time.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have the costumes labeled and lined up along the wall or on chairs or in separate bags. It helps to make it quicker and easier to find the right costume and dress the child.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Props (Most props on the list are self-explanatory. The star I used is a big lighted treetop star that I mounted on a tall stick and plugged it in and handed to the angel to hold when the angel stood behind Mary and Joseph.) You could make a big glittery star out of poster board or cardboard and mount to a tall stick.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If your Primary does not know some of the songs suggested in the script, just select appropriate songs your Primary knows.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the end, you may want to turn off the lights to sing the last song(s). Just make sure you have a light source for your pianist and one for the room if your room gets too dark.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The script is written how I presented it. Feel free to revise for the needs of your Primary.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">More detailed instructions for these are in the script. The script may look daunting, but it really isn't. I just tried to be pretty detailed so it would be easy to follow and flow for everyone, which it actually was. It is really in the prep and organization that helps to keep things flowing smoothly or as smoothly as you can in Primary while doing a skit on the fly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You could do the Nativity Story every year and the children would never tire of it. They just love being a part of the story about our Savior's birth and it is amazing how reverent they can be and the spirit that can be felt as they experience such a special event.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: 19px;"><b><i>"Samuel Tells of the Baby Jesus"</i></b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> is a story song that is fairly easy for the children to pick up on. I also love the </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Curlz MT; font-size: large;"><b><i>upbeat tempo</i></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> change from the verse to the chorus that helps demonstrate the </span><span style="color: cyan; font-family: Cooper Black;"><span style="font-size: 27px;">joyous</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;"> </span>announcement of the Lord's birth. Definitely point that out as you are teaching by asking the children what they notice about how the song changes and how does it help </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Party LET;"><span style="font-size: 43px;"><i>express</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"> </span>the message in the song.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Curlz MT;"><span style="font-size: 35px;"><b><i>fun</i></b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> one to have a child dress in a simple costume as Samuel and help demonstrate what happens in the song. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is how I presented the song last year. Depending on how quickly your children pick up on the song, you can teach in once session or split it up into two weeks. </span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Show the picture of Samuel the Lamanite on the wall or have a child dressed up to portray Samuel stand on a chair while you take a minute to quickly give the story from Helaman 13+ of why Samuel was there on the wall and what happened. Here are some talk points you might share.</span></li>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Samuel the Lamanite was a prophet and the Lord told him to go to a place called Zarahemla and teach the Nephites and tell them to repent.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At this time the Nephites were more wicked than the Lamanites. They were so wicked that they would sometimes make fun of the prophets and kill them.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When Samuel began to preach to the Nephites, they didn't like it and kicked him out of their city. Samuel started to go home.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Lord told him to go back and to tell the Nephites the things the Lord put into Samuel's heart to say.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So Samuel went back but the Nephites wouldn't let him back into their city, so he climbed on top of the city wall and preached to the Nephites to repent.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Nephites were so mad at him and didn't like what Samuel was telling them, so they threw rocks at him and even shot arrows at him. But the Lord protected Samuel and none of the rocks or arrows hit him.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Samuel also told the Nephites something that was very important. </span></li>
</ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have the children listen to the song to find out what else Samuel told them. Sing or play the MP3 of the first verse and receive answers. Depending on their answers, you may need to sing again and ask specific directed listening questions for them to discover the answers. Here are some possible directed listening questions you can ask for the first verse.</span></li>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Who would be born? [Jesus]</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When did Samuel say Jesus would be born? [In 5 years] </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What is the sign he prophesied would happen? [A night would be as day]</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where would Jesus be born? [In a land far, far away]</span></li>
</ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have them sing each phrase with you 1-2 times as you go through the questions.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sing or play the first verse and chorus this time and have the children listen to how the music changes and ask them how the first part is different from the second part of the song. [Possible answers: chorus is faster, sounds happier, etc.]</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sing the chorus for them and ask them to listen for a special word that helps to express a praise of joy and how many times it is sung? [2 times]</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have the children pitch lead the chorus with you as you all sing to see how the song goes up and down. Do this a few times.</span></li>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ask them where in the chorus does the song go up the hill [How blessed that our Lord] and then down the hill with just a little bump [was born; Let earth receive her King].</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What word do we sing at the top of the hill? [Lord]</span></li>
</ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Continue teaching the second verse using directed listening questions. Here are some possible ones you can use:</span></li>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where across the sea did Jesus come to earth? [In Bethlehem]</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the first verse of the song Samuel tells the Nephites that in 5 years Jesus would be born. He told about something that would happen in the future. There is a big word in this part of the song that means to tell about something before it happens. Listen for the word. [Prophesied]</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Who sang at Jesus' birth? [Angels]</span></li>
</ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To review, you could ask the children to tell you the story they learned from this song.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some ASL and actions for the song you can use to help when reviewing the song. Use as little or as many as you feel is comfortable for your Primary. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"><span style="font-size: 27px;"><i>"</i>The Shepherd's Carol"</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I taught my Primary this song last year, I introduced the song by letting the children listen to the MP3 music version. I wanted them to listen to the instruments and how they were played throughout the song. I challenged them as they listened to see if they could figure out which instruments they thought were being played. I had pictures of the different instruments to show them as they guessed since some of the children probably didn't know what some of the instruments were. Another thing I had them listen for was the one instrument that was played throughout the whole song [bells/xylophone]. This was a great listening experience to not only give them the opportunity to become familiar with the melody of the music, but to try and discern the different parts and instruments. They had to keep focused on the music to do this—and they did.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not sure on all the instruments that were played, so if you can figure them all out, please comment on which ones you think they are. The ones I know for sure are the xylophone type bells, flute & oboe. I think there is a clarinet & sax. Let me know what you think. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After that melody and instrumental listening experience, I gave them a directed listening question as I sang the first verse to them. I asked them to listen for three names I would sing and how many times I sang the names: Mary=2, Joseph=2, Jesus=1. The next time through I had them listen for a couple of other titles we used for Jesus. [King and Savior]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After this, I did different things for the JR & SR groups.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For JR I had two children come up to represent Mary and Joseph and put on some simple & quick costumes, e.g. Mary with a head scarf and baby and Joseph with a head scarf and staff. I then had the children sing with me doing the following mix of actions and ASL signs. Use less actions/signs if there are too many for your children to do comfortably, for example, don't do "This is" part in the chorus.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For SR, after singing it a few times through, I split the group in half and had one group go to one side of the room and the other group to the other side of the room. I find separating the groups in different areas of the room helps them learn the round a little easier since they aren't right next to each other getting mixed up by hearing the other parts so strongly. We practiced a 2-part round first. After we did that a few times, I split each group in half so I would now have 4 groups in separate corners of the room to practice the round. It is always challenging at first when doing a round, but as you do it more and more, they start learning how to concentrate on their parts and they do get better. Sometimes they can sound like a jumbled mess, but other times, they can sound pretty darn beautiful. It does take a little time to teach rounds if the kids have never done it, so don't give up so easily. Heck, I sometimes have a hard time keeping on my part when I start listening to the others sing their part. When they are first learning a round, I will continue to sing the beginning part to help start each group.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don't forget to let them sing along with the instrumental music too. They'll enjoy their own musical band to sing to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hope that gives you some ideas or gets some sparks going in your own creativity.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I got my <i>Friend</i> magazine in December of 2010 and saw the song </span><span style="color: red; font-family: JI Skookumchuck;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">"</span><span style="font-size: large;">Our Christmas Story Tree"</span></i></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>I knew I wanted to teach this song the following year and I knew how I wanted to do it. Well, 2011 came and went and there just wasn't any time to fit this song in among the others we were learning. So now, its </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Curlz MT;"><span style="font-size: 35px;"><b><i>2012</i></b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and I was determined to make it happen this time—but it almost didn't happen...again...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...I started working on it weeks ago whenever I had a chance (with my busy work schedule I just have to work on things in bits and pieces here and there when I can find time) and had most of it prepared but this past week was </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: 'Cooper Black'; font-size: 20pt;">sooooooo</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> crazy, and the time I thought I would have Saturday afternoon to finish up between my morning appointments and my husband's company party I didn't get. Alas, other emergencies came up in the afternoon and I just barely made it back in time for my husband's work party and then we didn't get home until after 11:30 p.m. and I still had other things to do first. </span><span style="color: #ff9200; font-family: Party LET;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">WHEW!</span><span style="font-size: 43px;"> </span></i></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I got those other things done it was after 1:00 a.m. and I was all tuckered out, so I decided to just go to bed with the thought that I would just pull out some old bell charts and take my bells to Primary instead and somehow figure out a time to squeeze this song in later in the month. I was a bit disappointed when I woke up Sunday morning because I wouldn't be doing the song I had planned and worked on and had been so excited to do. It didn't help that I wasn't feeling it with my back-up plan either. My husband told me I should just go ahead and do it. (He admitted to me later that he was a little excited to learn it after hearing me singing it for the past few weeks while I was learning the song.) He was such a sweetheart and helped be my errand boy and gathered things up for me while I finished up on some other things and frantically got ready for church. Not an easy task to do when you have the 9:00 a.m. block. But, I'm so glad I listened to him. </span><i><span style="font-family: 'Party LET'; font-size: 32pt;"><span style="color: blue;">Shhhh!</span></span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"> </span>Don't let him know that. He thinks I never listen to him. ;-)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The kids ended up loving the song and through directed listening to discover what ornaments were in the box for the Christmas Story Tree in the song and what they represented, the kids ended up learning a lot. You know, you don't have to have formal discussions that eats up your singing time to explain the gospel messages in songs. I find directed listening questions help them to focus on those messages in the song while they listen to you as well as listening to themselves sing to discover the answers in the song while they are also getting</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">that repetition in that is so needed for them to learn the song.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The presentation of the song is pretty simple since it really lends itself to the song. I used an old wooden Christmas tree I bought a zillion years ago on clearance at a craft store, painted it, stuck Christmas lights on it and screwed small cup hooks in it the first Christmas I was the Primary Music Leader and have used it every year since for various singing activities. You could use a small Christmas tree if you have one. It is nice if you can have something dimensional to hang actual ornaments on. I find real objects are more fun and interesting to the kids. But if you don't have a tree of sorts, you could cut a tree out of poster board or even just draw one on the chalkboard </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">with colored chalk</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. You'll need ornaments to represent the different parts of the song. You probably have most if not all in your own box of ornaments. Of course, you would probably have to use paper ornaments if you are using a tree poster or the chalkboard unless you have some strong magnets that you can hang actual ornaments on. (Really strong magnets are one of my top favorite things to have as a Primary Music Leader.) You'll also need</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> a box to put all the ornaments in.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>PRESENTATION</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I brought out the Christmas tree and explained to the children that this Christmas tree was our Christmas story tree and the ornaments I had in this box (showing the closed box) would help tell a Christmas story. I asked them to listen as I sang the first verse for which ornaments to be placed on our Christmas Story Tree and also what the ornaments represented. After singing the first verse, I let the children give me their answers. I let the ones who answered correctly come up and find the ornament in the box and place it on the tree. I would quickly sing that part of the song as they put up the ornament (a cappella.) This gave another plug for them to hear a specific part of the song while also helping them to remember what the ornament was for because of course, I also wanted them to listen so they could also discover what the ornament meant. Of course, they didn't remember all of the ornaments the first time through, so I sung the verse again and received their answers until we got them all on the tree for that verse. </span><br />

For example, I would point to the box for "It's time to peek inside our box of ornaments to see" then I would point to the red ornament for "which ones we'll choose to decorate our Christmas story tree." Then I pointed to the candy cane for "Let's hang a cane of </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">peppermint upon the nearest bough" then to the lamb for "to tell of shepherds watching lambs..." You get the picture. I repeated this process for each verse.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After we got all the ornaments up on our Christmas story tree, I had children come up and use my finger pointers to point to each ornament as we sang the song through. Oh yeah, I did post each verse of the flip chart on the board when they got all the ornaments for that verse on the tree. I usually post on the board the part of the flip chart we are working on and adding as we go. I find that helps the teachers participate more and I have some kids that learn better with words, especially the kids learning to read—they love trying to practice their reading skills on the flip charts, while others use the pictures to help them learn. I repeated the process with each verse. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My original plan was to just work on only one or maybe even two verses because I don't like to spend the whole time on one song since kids can get burned out on singing a song too many times—gotta keep the variety going—but the kids were really enjoying it so I went with the flow, threw aside the other songs I had planned and we spent the whole singing time learning the whole song and singing and pointing over and over and over again, and they enjoyed it. </span></div>

</ol>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><b>UPDATE!</b></span> Sometimes posting late at night can be dangerous because my mind isn't always at its peak and I forget some things. Like I forgot to update the flip chart PDF file when I made some changes to the original file, so I ended up posting an earlier PDF version. I really struggled on choosing some pictures because I couldn't make up my mind on how I wanted to represent some of the phrases and then I decided for one of the phrases I could use both pictures, which I did for "Reminding of our Lord's great gifts—His love, the blood He shed." I also picked a couple of pictures for the last phrase </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Our Savior dear was born to bring eternal life to all." I've updated the flip chart file on Scribd to include them all so you can pick which ones you would like to use. The last three pages after the blank page are the additional choices. Oh, I think I had also changed the angel picture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also forgot to add the links to the song and sheet music. So here you go. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.lds.org/music/library/music-for-children?lang=eng">"Our Christmas Story Tree"</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just s</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">croll down and select the song, right click on the download icon and select the pdf for the sheet music, vocals and music or just the music.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm beginning to think that since I haven't had time to put up any Christmas decorations yet, maybe I </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;">should just put this tree up in my living room. After all, it is already beautifully decorated by such loving and cute hands. :-D</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is such an easy yet beautiful song for the children to learn. Split your group in half and have one half sing the first half of the song—the question part—and the other half sings the second part of the song—the answer part. If you have a large Primary, split your group and the song into four parts. After the groups have learned their part, switch. After you've learned the song and would like to challenge your older kids, teach them the pretty descant.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course, let us not forget this is a song about bells........so have fun singing the song along with your bells or chimes. If you are new and unfamiliar with what I'm talking about, <a href="http://intheleafytreetopsthebirdssing.blogspot.com/2012/03/stand-for-right-bell-chart.html">check out this earlier post</a> for an explanation. You can also check out <a href="http://intheleafytreetopsthebirdssing.blogspot.com/2012/03/color-key-for-bells-pipe-chimes.html">this post for the color key</a> for the Kids Play brand bell set or if you are planning on making your own chime set. If you don't have bells or chimes, <a href="http://intheleafytreetopsthebirdssing.blogspot.com/2012/12/jingle-bells.html">use the jingle bells mentioned here</a> in the previous post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've attached a flip chart if you want to use as well as a bell chart—actually 2 bell charts. One is made to be printed on 11" x 17" paper. If your printer can't print that large, you could take the file to a copy center and they can print it out for you. I would suggest to print on card stock to make it more durable, but paper is fine too. There will be six sheets, so just butt up side-by-side the two pages that go together and tape on the back. Butting them up instead of overlapping allows you to fold them at the seam. You should end up with three strips. If you don't want to go to a copy center, I also made a one-sheet pdf version that you can print out into a poster format to the size you want for your Primary. To do a poster format, you can check out the first link I included in the previous paragraph or click on the "How To Helps" on the tab bar above. My bell charts are color-coded for the Kids Play bell set. </span><br />

Well, whenever I use a bell chart, I use my dancing dot stick to help point to each note for the JR kids so they know when to play. Sometimes I have to for the SR as well. I just made my dancing dot with a stick (actually it is a clear, old mini blind stick that I had laying around that was used to open and close the slates on the blind) and glued a big, red plastic, blingy craft jewel on it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now go ring those bells to bring in the Christmas season!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are pretty easy to make. This is how I did mine. You'll need 2 pipe cleaners aka chenille stems and two or three bells per jingle ring. String the bells on one of the pipe cleaners spacing them how you want them. Take the second pipe cleaner and twist it around the first one to help hold the bells in place and if your second pipe cleaner is a coordinating one, it helps to make it more colorful and decorative. Twist the ends together to form a ring. Make sure those sharp wire ends on the chenille stems are crimped in themselves so they won't poke—that wouldn't be very fun. I just made mine up a few years back, but if you still want some more formal and visual instructions, <a href="http://www.twobigtwolittle.com/2012/07/bell-bracelets.html">here is link to a site</a> I found that gives you some instructions on how to make.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.ehow.com/video_4428426_make-kids-using-hairbands-elastic.html">Here is another site</a> that shows how to make the jingle bells using hair bands, elastic string and bells.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"><span style="font-size: 27px;"><i><span style="color: red;">"Picture a Christmas" </span><span style="color: #408000;"> </span></i></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">is a beautiful song that helps instill in our minds that first Christmas. When I introduced this song to my Primary a couple of years ago, for the "Attention Getter" I had the pianist softly play the song in the background while I had the children close their eyes and asked them to picture what Christmas is to them. After the pianist played the song through once, I had the children open their eyes and let some of them share what they pictured Christmas to be for them. I then told them I wanted them to close their eyes again and listen to this song and picture in their minds the things they hear in the song and to remember them because I was going to ask them what those things were. I then sang the song to them. This gave them a chance to hear the music a couple of times and the words to the song at least once to this point.</span><br />

As they answered, I placed pictures on the board that represented those parts of the songs. Of course, they didn't get them all on the first try. I would asked them to listen again as I sang a phrase to see if we got them all and in the right order. I would receive their answers again. When we got that phrase done, I would have them sing it with me. I would proceed with the next phrase the same way and so on. I also put up the words under the pictures as we went, this helps the teachers and some kids learn better by reading the words. Occasionally, I would throw in a directed listening question. </span><br />

So after singing the first verse, I had a child come up and hold a picture frame over each picture for each part of the song as we sang. I just continued until we had learned the whole song. To make things a little more challenging for the SR kids, after singing it a couple of times, I would switch a few pictures around and the child had to still make sure they placed the frame over the correct picture as we sang. The kids had fun learning the song and we still kept a fairly reverent feel during the whole learning experience.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So now you have covered some different ways kids learn by using a variety of methods: by hearing, by seeing, by reading and by </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">repetition without making it boring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also shared my quick testimony that although there are so many wonderful and delightful ways to picture Christmas, we need to remember and celebrate that the real picture of Christmas is the birth of our Savior, Jesus and we also need to think of his life and words.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For a review time I cut out little frames from card stock with my Cricut for each child to use to follow along with me as I moved the big frame as we sang. They would just hold it up to one of their eyes to look through.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another year I brought in a nativity set and had children help to set up the nativity as we sang each part. For the star, I used an old Christmas tree lighted star topper that I had and stuck it on top of a long stick and plugged it in so it would light up and let the children take turns holding it. You could just hang a star ornament on a string tied to a stick and have the children take turns holding the star over the nativity while you sing. I also brought in a small lamp and a light for the pianist (since our room gets pitch black with the lights out) and had a child turn off the light when we came to the part "Picture a sacred, silent night" and we finished singing it with the lights out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you don't have a nativity set to use, y</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ou could use the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Christmas set #8 from the</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Primary Visual Aids Cutouts packet. You could also use the night cutout from </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the Nature set #3 and cut out a star from white paper.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Just draw a simple frame on the chalkboard with a stable inside and then add the figures as you review the song.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've included the pictures and word sets for doing a "picture frame" activity. I've also included a flip chart.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have fun this month as you sing the beautiful Christmas songs. I hope to get more Christmas flip charts I've made and ideas I've done posted soon.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Basically I'm going to tie in the missionary theme by briefly</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">talking about how the songs we learn in Primary teaches us about the gospel and when we learn these </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Cooper Black;">gospel principles</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, we are able to be a missionary now by sharing these things. I'm also going to read some portions of the preface in the </span> <span style="color: green; font-family: Curlz MT; font-size: large;"><b><i>Children's Songbook</i></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> to help emphasize this. Keep the talking part to about a minute. I will be doing the singing portion a little different for my JR than my SR group.</span><br />

<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(Setup) Have the picture of the boys posted in the center of your board. You can print the one page version or if you have a large Primary, you may want to print only that page larger in poster format. You can click on the "How To Helps" tab above for how to print in poster format. Just make sure you only have that page selected to print so it doesn't try and print all the pages in poster format.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(Setup) Have the song/answer speech bubbles posted randomly around the room or on the outside edges of your board for the children to select from.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Explain to the children that this boy (pointing to the boy sitting back on the bed-you could give the boys names if you want) has lots of questions to ask us and we are going to help this boy (pointing to the boy holding the scriptures) answer those questions by thinking of which Primary songs will help answer them. Point out you have several songs around the room that they can choose from.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Post the first question speech bubble next to the boy sitting back on the bed and ask the Primary the question. Let a child select a song/answer speech bubble to put on the board by the boy with the scriptures.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sing the song. Ask them to listen to the words as they sing to find the answer.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Repeat steps 4 & 5 for as long as you have time for.</span></li>

Here are some variations of how the SR can figure out the songs.</span></li>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just let them think of songs from their memory.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Give them a list of songs to select from combining the ones you have chosen as well as others.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Give each class/group a copy of the topical song guide from the <i>Children's Songbook </i>to find a song.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Give each class/group a copy of the </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Children's Songbook </i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">to look through.</span></li>
</ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Give each class one or two of the question speech bubbles (depending on how many you have in your Primary and how much time you have). You could just type the questions on paper and cut them out to hand them out and you post the speech bubbles later as you go through them. Give them a few minutes to find a song to answer their question. Let them know they also need to know the part of the song that answers the question the best. You could also give them a hint by letting them know that these are songs they already know.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When time is up, post the first speech bubble question. Have a spokesperson in the class that had that question come up and give their song title and the part of the song that answers the question. You can post the answer speech bubble if you like.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sing the song. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ask them to listen to the words as they sing to ensure they have the right answer.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Repeat steps 4 & 5 for as long as you have time for.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your kids may come up with other songs than you and that is all right. You can sing that song if your Primary knows it and/or you can show them another song you thought of.</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let them know that there are many ways to be a missionary and share their testimony and sharing their testimony through song is a wonderful way they can do it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another way you could present this is how it is suggested in the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sharing Time Idea #4 in the </span><a href="http://www.lds.org/friend/2007/10/how-great-shall-be-your-joy?lang=eng" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oct 2007 Friend,</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">by having someone come in and be an investigator.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the attached visuals, select the song speech bubbles you would like to use and print and cut out. I've made probably more than what you will have time to sing. For the <i>Book of Mormon</i> question, I've done a speech bubble for a song I taught my Primary for last year's scripture theme. It is </span><a href="http://www.lds.org/friend/2001/05/hand-in-hand-together?lang=eng" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hand in Hand Together from the May 2001 <i>Friend</i></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> magazine. My kids really love this song. I'll have to post the visuals for this sometime. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If your Primary does not know that one, you can do "The Golden Plates". For the prayer one I've done a separate one for Jr & SR. I've also made blank speech bubbles as well in case you want to come up with your own, or you can print blank ones for your SR kids to write the song titles in to post on the board. Just note which speech bubbles point toward the boy with the questions and the boy with the answers so you have them pointing in the correct direction.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138; font-family: 'Curlz MT';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 35px;"><b><i>Spin & Sing-a-Story of Thanksgiving.</i></b></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The concept of the story part I got from </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>A Children's Songbook Companion</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> book, so it is not my original idea; however, I did rewrite it for my taste and revised how to present it using my spinner and the songs we knew. You can still present the story using the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ff6600; font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 21px;"><b>turkey cut out</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> from the <a href="http://intheleafytreetopsthebirdssing.blogspot.com/2012/11/turkey-spin.html">previous post here</a> or if you don't want to use a </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">turkey visual to present it, you could use it in a book format as originally mentioned in the companion </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">book</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. If I had done this in a book format, I would have used a thin binder with page protectors with the storyline pages inserted and the facing page for each left blank to insert the pictures after they had answered and picked the correct picture. I just noticed a great </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://camillesprimaryideas.blogspot.com/2012/11/thanksgiving-sing-story.html">blog here</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> that posted this same book idea. It is so wonderful the many great ideas and variations floating around out there. My file for the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #804000; font-family: Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px;"><b><i>First Thanksgiving Story</i></b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I wrote is attached below.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here is how I presented it with the spinner. I've also inserted comments for the book version as well.</span><br />
<div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Post the pictures on the board or around the room randomly.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Number the back of the feathers (I used the medium feathers only). Although there are only seven parts to the story, I kept the eighth feather blank on the turkey. If the spin landed on the blank one, they just pulled it out and another child took a turn. This allowed at least an extra spin just for the fun of it. If you want to present the story in order instead of by the random spin, don't number the feathers. As each feather is picked, just go in numerical order. The kids will have fun just spinning/plucking the feathers and won't notice that you are being sneaky and going in the order you want to.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have each story statement numbered on a key sheet.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If using the book format, number the story statement pages and insert those in the page protectors leaving the facing pages blank for the pictures that are posted to be inserted later as you go through the story. </span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let a child spin the turkey and pluck a feather or pluck a feather from your other turkey visual aid.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Read the appropriate story statement and let the children give the answer to fill in the blank. Let them also select the picture that fits the answer. To make it a little more difficult for the SR kids, have the pictures turned over on the board so the kids can't see them, then post the song titles facing front over the back of the correlating pictures. Let the SR kids figure out which song is correct for the answer then remove the song title and turn over the picture.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are doing the book version, you would insert the picture in the appropriate place in your book in the page protector. You could set the open book upright on the table or on an easel to display the part of the story you are on while you sing.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sing the song that correlates with the picture.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Repeat until done.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There you go. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>This is how I made this Turkey Spinner</b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cut out some small sized feather shapes from various colored card stock and adhere permanently to the back of the turkey so that the turkey isn't so "naked" by the time the other feathers are pulled out. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Laminate the combined body and feathers. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Decorate the feathers making a squiggle line with glue and glitter.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cut out some medium sized feathers from various colored card stock, laminate and attach popsicle sticks to the bottom of the feathers so they can be inserted into the styrofoam turkey body. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Decorate making a zig-zag line along the top of the feather with glue and glitter.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cut out some large sized feathers from various colored card stock and laminate. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Decorate making a swirl design at the top of the feather with glue and glitter. Adhere two square pieces of the loop side of Velcro on each of the corners of the feathers on the back side. Leave the hook side attached to the loop so it is easier to know where to place the hook side on the spinner. Attach the large feathers on the spinner equally. Make sure your feathers are short enough to allow a space in the center for where the turkey body will be attached.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't have a template for the feathers to give you. The shape is just a rounded, rectangular teardrop I freehanded at the time. The size would depend on your spinner. I did eight feathers for each size.</span></li>

Remove the release liner of the hook side of the tape and adhere it to the spinner wheel in the center. The Velcro allows it to be removed so the spinner can be used for other games.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Take a square piece of clear Velcro and attach the loop side to the front of the disk in the center. Leave the clear, hook piece mated to the loop. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Remove the release liner from the hook side of the square piece of Velcro on the front of the styrofoam disk and center and attach the turkey and small feathers that have been laminated together onto the styrofoam disk.</span></li>

<div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If laminated, use wet erase markers to write on the back of the large feathers the songs and page numbers to sing.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the back of the medium feathers with wet erase markers, write "how to sing" the song, e.g. clap to the rhythm, staccato, fast/slow, your teacher's favorite song, etc.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let two children come up and each takes a turn to spin. One spins for the song and one spins for the "how to sing".</span></li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've attached a file with a turkey body and some ovally-shaped feathers if you want to just make a turkey that you can post on a board and have the children pick feathers from to choose songs. You could leave the feathers off and scatter them on the board or around the room and have the children pick/find a feather, add it to the turkey, then sing the song. There are colored feathers if you want to print on colored card stock or </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">a black and white one you could use to </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">color them in yourself. Just print how many feathers you want your bird to have.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Instead of a poster, another option, if you want more of a 3-D look, is to get a bigger and fatter styrofoam disk or ball, cut in half and paint, adhere the turkey you've cut out, use smaller pieces of popsicle sticks to adhere to the bottom of the feathers and pluck the feathers out or stick them in the turkey for the songs. You may have to weigh the styrofoam down a little so it won't topple over as easily.</span></div>

It seemed like forever in getting here with all the changes and extra church activities we have had in our ward, but now we are done and I couldn't be more proud of those kids. They sure sang their little ol' hearts out for me and and, of course, their parents. Even brought some tears to my eyes as I could feel their sweet spirit in their voices. I was a little nervous on whether it was going to turn out or not after our Saturday practice when things didn't seem to go right, but today was pretty darn perfect. The children's </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Cooper Black';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 27px;"><i>sweet</i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> spirit always seem to make the program special no matter what happens. The kids really pulled it out. I'm a toughie and don't use any visual aids or words for the program. Yep, I like them to learn the songs well and they did marvelous! I was unsure if our smaller Primary this year could get the volume to fill the chapel and overflow, but they did it. Yep, I'm as proud as a </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan; font-family: Silom; font-size: large;"><b><i>peacock</i></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> right now for such wonderful kids. And I'm especially proud of the children I called and challenged to do solos and musical parts; all for the first time too! What a wonderful experience for them and treat for the congregation. It has just been amazing watching these children grow and learn and develop a love for music and these beautiful Primary songs over the few years I've been teaching them. J</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ust thought I'd post a quick update on how our program went.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh, yes, can I just share a tidbit that just </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: 'Cooper Black';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 27px;"><<<hugged>>></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> my heart? I had so many children give me hugs before and after the program. It is moments like these that is just the cherry on top—it makes all the hard work, long hours and gray hairs worth it. Yep, I'm a proud mother hen. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had hoped to post some program helps in the previous months, but didn't have any time to do that. Sorry to those of you who emailed me and asked. There is always next year, so I'll try and post some later. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now folks, I guess it is time to plan for next year. I will try and post some planning forms and helps that I use to help me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-family: 'Cooper Black'; font-size: 27px;">love</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> to see your comments on how your program went. Also, please share anything special that just hugged your heart. You just gotta love those moments!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3366ff; font-family: 'Curlz MT'; font-size: large;"><b><i>"Children All Over the World."</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just love the happy, swaying melody. I've made a flip chart you can download below. I also made some </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: 'Curlz MT';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 35px;"><b><i>fun</i></b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> posters that I got the idea from the book, <i>The Children's Songbook Companion</i> which was originally designed to be a lesson manual for the <i>Children's Songbook</i>. I embellished the posters some. I will try and take pictures and post as soon as I can. Here is a </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px;"><b>lesson plan</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and some ideas on presenting the song to the children that </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I put together last year</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>LESSON PLAN WITH VARIOUS IDEAS TO USE</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Say one of the foreign words for "thank you" in the song that the children may not know then ask:</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you know what I said, raise your hand.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What? you don't understand this word?</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you think that Heavenly Father understands this
word?</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are children that live all over the world and they speak many different languages.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you think Heavenly Father understands all those
different languages?</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want you to listen while I sing to find out if Heavenly Father really does understand all the children around the world. [YES]</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want you to also listen for the word I said (repeat the foreign word "thank you" in the language you chose earlier) and see if
you can figure out what the words means.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>[THANK
YOU]</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sing then receive answers</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Post flip chart on the board so teachers can sing with you.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Listen again and this time count how many different languages I sing for "Thank You." [6]</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sing again and let the teachers sing with you if you want then receive answers.</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>SWAY & FREEZE</b></span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tell the children to follow you carefully swaying side-to-side with their bodies and arms but they must freeze when I stop singing.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The piano stops as well. It is helpful for the pianist if he/she sees your arms swaying so he/she knows when you stop and so the pianist can stop.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stop and freeze after each short phrase only working on a section at a time. Here is an example of a section of the song cut into four phrases.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 1: All over the world at the end of day</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 2: Heavenly Father's children kneel down and pray</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 3: Each saying, "Thank you" in his own special way</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Phrase 4: Saying, "Thank you. Thank you." In his own special way</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Repeat swaying and singing going through each phrase with the children repeating each phrase a time a two before moving to the next phrase.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Repeat the process when you are ready to move to the next section of the song.</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Make sure you h<span class="Apple-style-span">elp the children pronounce the foreign words.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>CHILDREN POSTERS</b></span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Make and use posters for the children to hold up while they sing. The kids do love the posters. Another fun thing to do with the posters is to have the teachers come up and be the "poster children" holding them. The kids get a good laugh out of that. I'll post the ones I made as soon as I can.</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>BELLS</b></span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Invite 4 children to play the bells on the
words “THANK YOU” (all languages) & after singing “He loves them” at the end of the song.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is great to start doing when you want to practice just the last section of the song on the "loves them" part. This can give a nice break from the Sway & Freeze activity. Have them ring the bells 2 times all together on the echo part of "loves them" and after "every one." After they get the end of the song down, sing the whole song through and incorporate the bells when ever "Thank you" is sung as well.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used the following tone bells: Low A, D, F#, & A. You could add G if you want 5.</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>OTHER POSSIBLE QUESTIONS TO ASK</b></span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Write the following questions on pieces of paper and attach to different flags from around the world or print another set of flags from the flip chart and cut out and attach the questions or put the questions in a bowl to pick from. As you are learning the song, have a child pick one of the questions and have the Primary listen for the answer as they sing the song.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What do Heavenly Father’s children all over the
world do at the end of day? [Kneel and pray]</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What does each child say in his own special way?
[Thank you]</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Who hears them? [Heavenly Father]</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What else do we learn about Heavenly Father? [That
he knows, loves and understands the language of every person.]</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tender voices are heard where? [All over the world.]</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You could have them figure out which country each language is from in the song.</span></li>
