SUPER SINGING SECRETS: FLIP CHARTS


Welcome to the first installment of the
Super Singing Secrets!
No, this isn’t about how to sing better.  I’m definitely not the one to teach that.  It is about those technical secrets that help make singing time flow more smoothly.  Okay, it really is just a fancy, smancy way to say the tips and tricks of the calling that I have learned.  I just like alliterations and the way they flow off the tongue in a fun way so I’m calling it “Super Singing Secrets” So There!


There are many ways that people put their flip charts together.  I thought I would share with you the way I do it and why. You could print your flip chart on both sides of the card stock, laminate each page and then have them hole punched and bound with those coil thingies.  This is a very nice way to do it and it does make it easy to grab the individual flip chart booklets you need for the day.  However, I prefer not to use this method because it can become quite costly to laminate and bind each flip chart, but mainly it is because I prefer to use my visual aids in more than one way so I can get a variety of uses out of them as well as I think the variety helps to keep things fresh for the children.
Page Protectors

I prefer only printing one-sided on the card stock and the versatility of using page protectors.  Often when I am first teaching a song with a flip chart I will not use it in the traditional way; page protectors in a binder.  I will use page protectors that I have cut off the 3-hole strip section on the side so I have a pocket sleeve for the page and that I’ve added magnets to the back of the sheet protector. If you use the thicker, stronger magnetic roll strip, you usually only need a piece at the top, but I would suggest at least a couple of pieces at the top in each corner to help it lay flat against the board, but if you use the magnetic tape that is not as strong, I would suggest to use a piece in all four corners. I have used both types of magnetic strip/tape and they both have their pros and cons, but I think I may lean a little more towards the magnetic tape since it is not so thick and just a tad easier to apply since I don't have to remove any adhesive backing. I buy the magnetic strip or tape from craft stores and always use my 40-50% off coupon. I make these magnetic page protectors so I can mount them on the magnetic chalkboard in the Primary room as we go through the song.  This allows me to be more mobile as well as it keeps my hands free for other things. You don't have to mount permanent magnets on the back. You could just post them on the board with loose magnets holding them from the front, but I have found it is much easier to switch between songs if I don't have to handle the loose magnets. I just keep the stash of these magnetic page protectors in a file folder and pull out how many I need for a given song as needed. I have enough so I can keep 3-5 flip charts in these at a time for the newer songs being worked on. Another reason I do it this way is so I have the versatility to play games such as:
  • Have a child leave the room and remove one or two pages, then have the child come back in and as the children sing, the child guesses which phrase(s) is missing.  For the SR kids you could mix the pages up after removing one to make it harder for them to figure out which one is missing.
  • Mix the pages up and have a child or two put them in the correct order as everyone sings.
  • Remove 1 or 2 pages at a time as the children are learning the song to help them memorize the song.
  • Match the phrases up.  One way to do this is by passing out the second half of a phrase to each class then you sing the first part of the phrase and the class that has the matching phrase sings the matching part back to you continuing through the song as each class sings their part.
  • Pass out in random order 1 or 2 pages to each class and you sing through the song with the children singing only their group's parts from the flip chart sheets they were given.  Rotate the pages and sing again.
  • You can do what I call "Singing in the Round" by posting the phrases around the room and having each class or group of children stand by one of the phrases and then each class/group in turn sings their phrase they are standing by in order and then you repeat the process after you have them rotate to the next phrase.  Keep it moving by beating a drum or using a rhythm instrument or by having the pianist play the intro or some marching music right AFTER they sing the song as they quietly and quickly move to the next phrase before the short musical interlude is finished and then immediately go into the song again or you could have them rotate as they all sing the chorus part.
  • You can do the 4-Corners game using the phrases instead of numbers and posting a phrase in each corner.  You have a blindfolded child select a phrase of the song after the singers (the children sitting down) sing the song while the movers (a class or group of children) move quietly around the room stopping at any one of the phrases by the time the song is finished being sung.  The movers standing at the phrase that the blindfolded child selected after the song was sung must than sit down and join the singers.  Repeat until only a few or 1 is left. When there are only 4 children left, I will tell them that they must each be in their own corner or sometimes I will declare the last few movers in that group the winners and let another class or group have a turn.  Sometimes I may have the blindfolded child pick two phrases to help speed things up so there can be more turns.  This is a musical chair kind-of-concept.
  • And of course the most basic reason is that I can have children come up and hold the pages up as I am teaching them.  You could also have them holding the FC in a mixed order and then putting themselves in the correct order as you sing.  I would suggest, however, to only do one or two phrases at a time instead of the whole song so you only have two to four children up front, otherwise, it could become quite a mess when there are too many kiddos scrambling for position. (Learned that the hard way.)

Flip Chart Binders
It is usually not until after we have gone through learning the song do I then put the flip chart into regular page protectors with two pages back-to-back per sheet protector and then into a ½” ring notebook binder so that it can be easily used for review singing.  As more program songs are learned, I keep adding the flip charts to the binder.  I will end up with two, ½” ring notebooks by the time we have gone through all the program songs.  I do have a 1” ring binder but I have found that I prefer the lighter weight of the ½” ringed binders.  The program songs stay in the binders throughout the year, but I will also add to the front of the binder any other songs I will need flip charts for that we will be singing that day, such as the opening song or extra singing time songs, and then I remove those flip charts so I can add the next Sunday’s songs.  Yes, that does mean I have to remove any weekly flip charts from the sheet protectors to insert the next flip charts, but it only takes a few minutes to switch them out.  I just need enough page protectors for any of the program songs I made a flip chart for and extra sheet protectors for the weekly songs to be sung.  I just store the flip charts that are not in use in my song files.

Mixed Sized Pages Taped Together
Large Sized Pages Taped Together
I have some visuals that are printed on several sheets that need to be bound together such as my melody maps or I have used larger sized paper for a visual or using two different sized papers that obviously won’t fit into a binder, so I have used packaging tape to bind the sheets together making it more "poster" like but yet can fold up smaller at the taped "hinges".  I don't usually laminate these.  If you would still like to laminate and bind your flip charts into a booklet, here is a great idea I recently found that uses a similar idea for binding regular sized flip charts together using packaging tape instead of those coil thingies.  With this taped binding you could also add an extended page that hangs out for a descant or chorus.
So, as you can see, there are many different ways you can use a flip chart
for other than just as a flip chart when you don’t lock it into just being a flip chart.

FLIP CARD OR THE ENVELOPE GAME?

WHICH IS IT????


Well, the Envelope Game has been around for some time in the Primary Singing World and is mainly for the SR Primary because it involves reading.  It is a game whereby you make wordstrips for each word in the song grouping the words by phrases and then placing each phrase's group of words in it’s own envelope.  If you have a larger primary, make more sets of wordstrips and envelopes as needed.  The game is played by dividing the children into groups of around 3-8 children per group depending on the average of how many words are in the phrase and/or how difficult the words in the song are, and giving each group one of the envelopes with a phrase of the song.  You then sing the song to them two or three times or play a recording of the song while the children listen and put the words together in the correct order for their phrase (singing to the children is usually better for them to hear the words but sometimes it’s nice to change it up a bit and play a recorded version.)  Once they have the wordstrips in order, sing the song with the children a time or two having each group sing their phrase.  Afterwards, have them place the wordstrips back into its envelope making sure the words are mixed up and then pass it to another group.  Repeat the process letting each group have a turn at putting the wordstrips in order for each phrase then singing that phrase.  At the end, everyone sings the whole song together.

Another variation is to have just the key words to the song in each envelope so that the children are all putting the same key words of the song together.  This is a great teaching method for learning a new song.  You get lots of repetition, the children have to use their little noggins to think and they are actively participating.

Now here’s my little twist to the Envelope Game that I call the FLIP CARD GAME.  I cut up mini versions of the flip chart for the verse or verses I want to teach giving each group or class a set.  I actually won't be putting the flip cards in an envelope.  I’m just going to clip each group’s set together with a binder clip.  I will have the teacher pass out 1 or 2 cards to each of the children in that group.  I’ll probably do 6 in a group so that each child can have at least 2 cards, maybe less for the oldest classes.  As I sing the song, they need to flip down their card in the correct order.  Oh yeah, make sure you clarify what "flip your card down" means, otherwise, some of the kiddos will interpret it differently than you had intended.  Yep, I've got me some lots of boys like that.  So as you can see, it is not a FLIP CHART but a FLIP CARD.  Get it??????? ;-)  Yeah, I know, a little dry sense of humor going there.

Since we have the melody, first verse and chorus down for the SR primary, I plan to work through both the 2nd and 3rd verses this Sunday, so each envelope will have a set of both the 2nd and 3rd verse as well as one set of the chorus.   After we WARM UP with the 1st verse and chorus, I’ll start the game by singing only the 2nd verse and chorus.  They will have to figure out which cards will be played first by each child laying their card down in front of them in the correct order.  Depending on the age of your group and how well they are getting the cards in the correct order, you may want to just sing the 2nd verse a couple of times and then continue on into the chorus after the 2nd or 3rd time through the song.  Some children may like to play this on the floor and others may want to stay in their seats.  I usually bring these chipboard sheets that I once scrounged up from work that are about the size of a piece of paper for those who want to do it sitting down. That helps to give them a flat surface to work on.  After they have the song in order, we will sing the song together.  Then I will have each team select one or two of their cards to remove and give back to the teacher after each time we sing to motivate them into memorizing the song.  I still plan on referencing the melody map and having them help to figure out where the different pictures go on the melody map.  That will help them to not just look down at their cards the whole time but to focus on the melody going up and down as they sing.  Gotta keep them thinkin' so they don't get bored.  Oh yeah, and don't forget about the Faith in God award challenge from the last post!  That will be my Attention Getter at the start of singing time.

I’ve attached the Flip Card files below for each verse and chorus that you can pick from depending on what you would like to work on.  Each file has a set of 4, so if you only plan on having four groups, you only need to print and cut one sheet per verse and/or chorus you will be teaching.  Easy-peasy—not much paper to print, just a little cutting up.

FAITH IN GOD & CHOOSE THE RIGHT

So what does the 
Faith in God for Boys and the
Faith in God for Girls
have to do with the song
“Choose the Right”?

Did you know that it is one of the activity choices to select from in the “Learning and Living the Gospel” section on page 7 of the booklets?  I did not know that!!!  THANKS to Grandmajo for sharing that tidbit of info in a comment she left the other day.

Oh man! I am sooooo going to run with this one in motivating the kids even more in learning the song! 

Here is the link at LDS.org for the girl’s booklet and here is the link for the boy’s if you want to check it out.


I’ll confess, I have been a bit hesitant internally in teaching all three verses just because hymns can be a little more difficult to teach, but I have had this persistent feeling I should teach all the versus and so had planned on it.  Now I have a better understanding as to why I had this feeling I should teach the children all three versus.  A little AHA! moment for me.

This Sunday I am going to take my little booklets and show the SR group and ask them the same question I asked above to see if they were even aware of that.  I want to challenge the children to have this activity passed off this year by having the song learned, hopefully, by the end of the month along with being able to answer the questions about agency and choices.  Won’t that be so AWESOME to be able to pass it off altogether?!?!?!  
I’m not sure if they need a signature to sign off on it or not, but I would think it would be great to initial it or something when they pass it off making it feel even more special and important.  Maybe even have them come up as a class to sing it together to pass it off.

I was also thinking of making a little song booklet or something to give them to take home to help them work on the song.  I haven’t made personal booklets or anything like that before for them, but I thought this might warrant a little something extra this time.  After pondering on the booklet idea, I decided instead that it needed to be something that they could post on their mirror or someplace easily visible so that they could view the song without much effort making it easier to sing and review it.  So, I decided to make a 
one-page cheat sheet 
that has all the different pages of the flip chart on it.  Something a little more fun than just the words, and besides, since I already had the flip chart made, it didn’t take that much more to make it work for a one-page cheat sheet.  Here is the one-page cheat sheet I came up with if you are interested. (Click on the "Download original" in the upper right-hand corner for the best resolution.)  I only have the chorus once at the bottom of the page so I will make sure to point that out to the kids so they don't get confused.  To save on cost, you don’t have to print it in color.  Just print out one and take it to church to make a copy for each of the SR kids in your Primary. 

2/10/12 UPDATE: Chris and Janeil left a wonderful idea in her comment.  You've just got to love the synergy generated out there from everyone!  Anywhooooo, she suggested a smaller size to fit in the children’s scriptures.  What a simple, yet brilliant idea and, you only need to print up half as many when you print 2-per sheet.   I was a little nervous that it might be too small to see, but hey, if I can still read it, it should be easy enough for the kiddos.  So, last night I made this 2-per sheet version in case your printer does not have the capability to print a 1-page version into 2-per page.  (Click on the "Download original" for best resolution.)  This 2-per page version has a lower resolution, but still is readable.   Thanks for the idea.

I just love it when you can accomplish two things at the same time; program song and an awards requirement.  MARVELOUS!

A LOT OF TRAFFIC FOR THE CHOOSE THE RIGHT FILES

Apparently, there has been quite a bit of traffic for the "Choose the Right" flip chart and melody map in the past few days that has used a substantial amount of bandwidth that has exceeded my subscription amount for a given day and the links have been temporarily locked out.  WOW!  Too much traffic all at once.   I'm so surprised!!!  Who'd of thunk?  :-)  I have added other links for the files in their respective posts, as well as in this post, that you can use until the original links are back up and running.  Sorry about that, but the volume of traffic was totally unexpected.

"Choose the Right" flip chart
"Choose the Right" melody map
"Choose the Right" melody map pictures (I would suggest to click on the "Download original" button for better resolution instead of printing directly from the first screen.)

P.S.  The kids were really into learning "how to read music" with the melody map today and were picking up the first verse of the song well.  What even surprised me was that the children had pointed out some of the differences from last month's melody map to this one.  See, those kids are pretty smart and have a good memory!

Thanks,

CHOOSE THE RIGHT: Melody Map

2/5/12 UPDATE: Because of the unexpected high traffic volume this weekend, the current links to the melody map and pictures are temporarily out of order.  They should be back up in a day or two.  I have added other links just below.  Remember, the files may take some time to download depending on your internet speed.


Melody Map
Melody Map Pictures  (I would suggest to click on the "Download original" button for better resolution pictures instead of printing directly from the first screen.)


WOW!  This week is going by at a rapid pace.  I can’t believe it is February already.  Didn’t we just have Christmas?????  Well, I’m a little behind schedule on things, but here it is, the melody map for “Choose the Right”.  It was a little bit of a bugger—such a BIG song to replicate in a melody chart format.  The first melody map I posted, “As a Child of God” was a basic melody map.  I thought on this one I would show a more in-depth version.  I wasn't planning on doing a melody map this month since I did one last month, but after looking over the song, I realized this song lends itself nicely to a melody map with it's "rolling hill" pattern.  So, here goes again but with a little variation on the activities we'll do.



On this melody map, you will notice that there are different colors and sizes of the CTR shield, each representing a different type of note, e.g. whole, half, quarter, etc.  I also added a line connecting the “notes” to help more visually show the movement of the notes.  I’ve also included some pictures and words here if you want to use them as an addition to the map.  You don’t have to use all of them.  Use what you feel you want to teach or emphasize in the song.  I just wanted to include a good variety for all three verses.  Click here for the explanation I gave on melody maps last month as well as some suggestions for use.   



I always ask what they notice about the map and receive their responses.  If they are slow on the uptake, ask more questions to help get their thinking going, such as:
  • What is the same in these patterns?
  • What is different in these patterns?
    • [some shields are the same color, there are different sizes of shields, each color is the same size, the shapes go up and down like mountains, there is a dip or valley in this part, there are more orange shields than any other color, there are less blue shields than any other color, there are 11 big purple shields, etc.]
Continue to encourage the children to look for more relationships if they aren’t picking them up by saying “What else?” or “What more can you see?” (If this is new to your children, they may be hesitant at first but will start picking things up with some extra encouragement. The children happily surprised me the very first time I used a melody map--they can be very perceptive.)

Ask the children to listen to you sing the song and tell you what all the "note" shapes have to do with the song. 
  • The small blue shields are the shortest notes.
  • The big purple shields are the longest notes.
  • Essentially, the smaller the shield the shorter the note.
You could put just the pics that say "CTR" on the chart at first and see if they notice that is where you sing the words “Choose the Right”.

Remember, you may have to sing the song 2-3 times before the children discover all or most of the relationships, but that is good because that gives the children a chance to hear the song a few times to become familiar with it.  You can also give hints by pointing as you sing or singing louder on the certain words or areas you want them to notice.
Sing it again and ask the children to sing only the words “Choose the Right” with you. 
Learn the phrases by showing a picture or two and asking the children to listen to see where on the map the pictures should go.  Let the child that answers correctly come and place the picture on the map.  (I am planning on taking a little folding stepladder—2-3 steps—so the JR children can climb up and put it up themselves.  They like that and it saves my back from picking them up.  Maybe you could point out that they are stepping up the ladder and down just like the song.)  Then have them sing it with you.


A few other examples of singing discovery questions you can ask are:

  • This picture or word(s) goes where it looks like it is going down a slide.  Listen and tell me which slide it goes on. [various answers like shining, heart confides, etc.]
  • What two words begin on the highest note in this 2nd phrase and then slides down? [“Holy Spirit”]
  • This word "Evermore" is sung on three different notes in this last phrase. What are the three notes it is sung on?  [the very last three notes] Is it going up or down when we sing it? [down]
  • Did you notice a couple of places that the song dips down?  Listen and tell me what words are sung in those dips. [Wisdom and God]
  • Do any sections/parts of this map look exactly the same? [1st and 3rd phrase]

Other Suggestions

  • Explain the pictures as you go and how they relate to the message of the song.
  • Have them clap the rhythm pattern with you.
  • Use rhythm sticks to tap out the rhythm or only when they sing the “Choose the Right” words. (I’m planning on using rhythm sticks.  I borrowed them from my sister’s school where she works, but dowels or unsharpened pencils are inexpensive alternatives—and much quieter.)
  • Use the CTR shields to pitch lead or just have them hold them up on the words “Right”.
  • Have them also stand up when they sing the words “you” or “your”.  (I just thought of something, maybe I should have made a few more "you" pics to place on the map or at least the word "you" and "your".  Maybe I will try and add some to the file and repost the pics Friday night.  If not, Oh, well.)
  • Have them use their bodies to pitch lead raising themselves higher as they sing higher and lowering their bodies as they sing lower.
  • When you have sung it with them a few times you could sing the first half of the phrase and then have them finish the phrase.  Point out that you are singing the parts going up the mountain and they are singing the parts going down the mountain.
  • Don't forget to share your testimony of the message.
I often try and use a variety of activities to keep them interested before they get bored otherwise I could lose their attention.  Children learn by repetition, but they also need variety—sounds like an oxymoron to me.  So, you may sing the song over-and-over again (repetition), but by using different methods as you sing (variety), it helps to keep the children engaged as well as you are sure to capture the different learning styles the various children may have.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE MELODY MAP (Also see post for "As a Child of God" melody map and above pic for reference)

  • I think this should print in the order of the song this time.
  • Cut off about 1/2" on the letter side (the letters are only for reference in making the chart) and cut off about the same on the other side depending on the minimum settings your printer needs for margins, being careful to not cut off any of the shields. 
  • Tape them together leaving a slight gap between pages for easier folding.  
  • The last four rows on the map are for the chorus.  I put each of the two sections together to make two rows or "stanzas" for the chorus by cutting pretty close to the shield on the right section and then lining it up to the left side and making a tick mark for where I needed to cut (where it looked good for the black line coming into the right side—part of the black line you will cut off.) You could take a black marker to help better connect the black line if you want.  
  • Oooo, is this all confusing?    
  • So each phrase will be three pages and both sections of the chorus will have 5 pages each with the second page of each for the chorus a smaller width size as well as the third page will be slightly smaller. Look at the picture above for reference.  There will also be 2 blank pages that will print out, but you don't need those.  Just part of the "poster" effect.  Don't forget to number the backside so you know which order to put them up on your board.

GIVEAWAY!!!

Being new at this blogging stuff I continue to discover new things about blogging.  One thing I heard recently is sometimes bloggers throw a giveaway. Granted, I’m not any commercial-type blog out to make a buck, neither am I supported by any sponsor.  NOPE!  It’s just little ol’ me.  But, one thing I do know is that I do like to give things away.  Soooooo, I thought it might be fun to sponsor my own little Giveaway!  I’m calling it my:
 “BLOG GRAND OPENING GIVE, OH! GIVE AWAY!”
Brother, I can tell I’m a primary chorister; that “Give, oh! Give away” part just came typing out my fingers without me realizing it until after I typed it; I just started singing the song as I typed and there it came.  Another side affect of being a Primary Music Leader I guess.  LOL  Now mind you, the prize isn’t anything of grand value; just a little primary music aid that may be beneficial to the likes of us Primary Music Leaders.
So, what is this most FANTASTICAL giveaway prize you ask?  Well . . .it is a set of 30 colors of the rainbow laminated card stock CTR Shields on a Stick packaged in an ever so lovely, clear, plastic zip bag!  WAHOO!
Go to this link for some ways on how you can use them.


And how do you enter you may ask?  Well, I like to think I’m a little bit of a social gal, so I thought it would be nice to discover who is all out there in the Primary cyber world.  So all you have to do is click on the 
“Follow, Follow Me!” 
gadget and join (if you are already a follower, then you don't have to do anything) and each name will be assigned a number and Random.org will select the winning number. (If you are the winner and have already made some, I could probably switch these out with the next prize.)

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!  I’m having so much fun with this; I’ve decided to have a second giveaway prize to celebrate surviving 2 whole weeks of blogging.  Yeah! I know, not very long really, but in blogging years for me, it is a long time.  
This next giveaway is for . . . drum roll please!  A Poster Visual Aid for March's song,
“Stand for the Right”
in your choice of either with words and pictures or few words with pictures.  This lovely song aid will come to you cut and laminated with magnets on the back for durability and ease of use.  It also will come with its own ever so lovely, clear, plastic zip bag for storage.  WAHOO AGAIN! 
(I will be posting this visual at a later date to share as well.)

What has been your favorite
moment or memorable moment as a Primary Music Leader?
Each comment will be assigned a number and Random.org will also be used in selecting the
WINNER!
This means that you have 2 chances to enter and since this blog is still in its infancy and there probably aren’t a whole lot of you out there, the odds are good.
