Photo Printing

Sometimes it's cheaper to print pictures for posters and visual aides from your local photo store rather than print them at home - and they look nicer, too. That's the way it is for me, at least. I love Sams Club Photo. I upload online and pick up later. It works for me.

I Pray In Faith: Valentines Version - Prayer is a Conversation With Our Heavenly Father

VERSE 1 - 8x10 Poster

VERSE 1 - 8x10

VERSE 1 - 8x10

VERSE 2 - 8x10

LESSON:

Explain that prayer is a conversation with our Heavenly Father.

INTRO VERSE 1:

• Hang up “I can pray to...” poster
• Call a child to pick a paper heart. On it is something we can pray about. Talk about it, tape it on the board.
• Learn lyrics and Sing.

VERSE 1:
I kneel to pray, every day (point to knees)
I speak to Heavenly Father (point up)
He hears and answers me (point to self)
When I pray in Faith (fold arms)

INTRO VERSE 2:

• Hang up “How to pray...” and numbered poster
• Remove cover one lyric line at a time (from the numbered poster).
• Learn lyrics and Sing.

VERSE 2:
(Hold up finger numbers)
1. I begin by saying Dear Heavenly father
2. I thank Him for blessings he sends
3. Then humbly I ask him for things that I need
4. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen

AFTER LEARNING THE WHOLE SONG,
Have a child choose a heart that says how we are going to sing (the link goes to printable docs that match the posters above). We played Heart Darts.

Sing and repeat How To Sing activity.


-----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----

PREPARE:

• Posters (*I print them at Sams Club Photo)
• ‘ways to sing’ hearts
• candy handout (see below)

-----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----

Handouts - Small Bag Tag Toppers
4 per page on 4x6
Fold in half to have hearts on the front and a heart on the back .
The heart on the back has my Primary info on it. Re-photoshop for your needs. Or, just cut it off.
Staple to top of bag filled with conversation hearts.

Assembly is fun... :)

Big bowl of sugar, anyone?

• BLANK Conversation Hearts

Kuha'o Case (blind) Playing My Heavenly Father Loves Me on the Piano

I wanted to play this video (found on the vastness that is YouTube) for my Primary, but I thought it needed a little bit more.... so I took the original video of Kuha'o Case playing My Heavenly Father Loves Me and added a little bit to it. Posted is the version with my edits, which can also found on YouTube, HERE.

My Heavenly Father Loves Me - Hadlock Arrangement

HERE is the Hadlock arrangement of My Heavenly Father Loves Me

For piano, flute, voice.

3 Bowls

Have 3 bowls:

Bowl #1 WHO (as in who is going to sing)
Bowl #2 HOW (how they are going to sing it.
Bowl #3 WHERE (where they are going to sing )


WHO: girls only, boys only, teachers only, those wearing white or black or blue or pink or brown or yellow, blond hair, brown hair, etc...

HOW: staccato (hot), forte' (loud), piano (soft), legato (smooth), stop/go, actions only, eyes closed, etc..

WHERE: sitting on chairs, backs against the wall, sitting on the floor, laying on the floor, sitting in a different chair, standing in the front, standing in a circle, etc...the kids only have by the time I count to 10 to get in position. When we are done with that song... count to 10 again and the kids must be back in their original chair.

Simple Actions to My Heavenly Father Loves Me

image source

This song is in ASL on the LDS church website. I looked at it and thought to myself that for me, I would need something a little more simple, but still ASL inspired. After some revisions and editing down (because my own actions were become quite complicated) this is what I came up with:

VERSE 1
Whenever I hear the sound of a bird BIRD SIGN
Or look at the blue blue sky BLUE SIGN
Whenever I feel the rain on my face RAIN SIGN
Or the wind as it rushes by WIND SIGN
Whenever I touch a velvet rose HAND TOUCHES HAND (perhaps in a small circle motion)
Or walk by a lilac tree FLOWER then TREE
I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world WORLD SIGN
Heavenly Father created for me *HEAVENLY FATHER / ME (thumbs point to self)

VERSE 2
He gave me my Eyes that I might see POINT TO EYES
The color of butterfly wings BUTTERFLY SIGN
He game me my Ears that I might hear POINT TO EARS
The magical sound of things MUSIC SIGN
He gave me my Live, my Mind, my Heart LIFE SIGN /POINT TO HEAD / HAND ON HEART
I thank Him reverently THANK-YOU SIGN
For all his creations of which I’m a part “ALL” SIGN
Yes, I know Heavenly Father loves me LOVE (cross arms), THUMBS POINT TO SELF

--- --- ---
*I am going to do the action for Heavenly Father as a "double Father" sign that goes up to Heaven and then fades into pointing to yourself with your thumbs. That's sort of what it looks like in the My Heavenly Father Loves Me ASL video on the LDS church website. The ASL sign for Heavenly Father is up for debate. This link will take you to a Yahoo Question to learn more, but note that the last link is not affiliated with myself or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Build a Snowman

I saw this idea from Sophia's Primary Ideas. Here's my version:

A child comes up and rolls a die. On roll turn #1 they roll a body. Turn #2, a face. #3 buttons. #4 accessories. Draw on the chalkboard or a posterboard or butcher paper or whatever you have available. I used the picking sticks to choose who would come up and I had the kids answer a question in order to get to roll the die.

Blow Dryer Box

The idea is kind of like... um.. on a game show where people step into a box full of cash blowing all around. Yeah. A smaller version of that. With a blow dryer.

I made my blow dryer box for fall with an autumn tree in the background and Dollar Tree table scatter for the blowing leaves.

Here's how it's going to work (for me):
I was going to have the names of songs on the leaves. Only.... it's turning out to be a little more complicated than just that. The leaves have a tendency blow out of the box and all over the place. And for effect I am going to put all 50 leaves in the box, not just the 8 songs we'll sing (it was sad with just a few leaves - and it was hard to get them to blow around. More = better). So I WILL have numbers on all the leaves (1-50) - the thing is, the numbers don't really mean anything, even though the kids think they do. The Pianist and I will just be going down a predetermined list of songs. I'll call out "leaf 25! what a great song!" and she'll just play the next one on the list. Or, I'll have the list, too, and I'll eyeball the next song and call out the name of that song when I look at the leaf number - like,"oh, I'm so glad you picked this leaf!  I just looooove I Pray In Faith! Okay, let's sing!". That sort of thing. Sometimes it's the "magic of Primary" at work.

You can also add some movement/teaching conducting with this Lead Like the Wind idea.

Songlist:
*** LEARN, It’s Autumntime 46  - *after learned, sing while picking leaves

1. THANKFUL SONG: I Am Glad For Many Things  151
2. FUN SONG”:  “Leaves” Are Falling All Around  241
3. THANKFUL SONG: Pray In Faith  14
4. THANKFUL SONG: For Health and Strength (round)  21
5. FUN SONG: “Leaves Are Falling From the Apricot Tree”  242
6. THANKFUL SONG: I’m Thankful to Be Me  11
7. FUN SONG: “Once There Was a Tree”  249  *(in the Fall the leaves fell off, leaves fell off, leaves fell off…)
8. THANKFUL SONG: My Heavenly Father Loves Me  228

Big box.
I've seen it done with a diaper box. Mine is from the company I work for (score!).
I made the top of the tree interchangeable with a green top, if I ever want to.
Or, I could put in a whole new scene if I ever wanted to - just make something to place in over the existing picture.

Left side: Hole big enough for an arm to fit into the box, cut in mid-height.

Right side: Side opposite of arm hole.
The bottom seemed to be the best place for the air to come in at. When using the box you have to angle the air every which way to get the leaves to blow around - even have to tip the box to get it to go.

Ceran Wrap the front. Clear plastic tape it on.
Don't seal all the edges - the air needs to be able to be able to escape a little bit - if it can't get out the Ceran Wrap turns into a big bubble... I was afraid it would burst!

...tried to get an action shot.  glare/blurry leaves...
The leaves blow everywhere, even out of the box. Leaves are going to go everywhere.
I can just imagine how silly the kids will think it is. I can hear their giggles now...

Last pic - random! My too-huge box of never-ending ceran wrap.
When we were first married we thought we'd need 3,000 SQUARE FEET of the stuff. What were we thinking?!
11 years later and we're still using the stuff and it still feels like it's never going to run out! We have so much I'm even using ir for Primary projects (Thanks Sams Club! lol.)

*Idea Credit: I found the blowing box  HERE.

Move Like Waves

Ask the children if they have ever been to the beach or ever seen a wave. How does the ocean move?

Ask, How does the melody of the song move? We are going to sing the song and move to the music the way waves move in the ocean. Remind the children to be reverent waves.

Tell the children to feel the melody and the rhythmn of the music. When the melody goes up the waves go up, when it goes slow the waves go slow.

Sing and move.

----- ----- ----- ----- -----

This could be used during review time to see the differences of many different songs.

*Optional, bring a water bottle with the top screwed on to demonstrate a wave.


Idea from Singing Time Fun

Listening Ears

image source

I often remind the children to "turn on your listening ears". If I see their attention is elsewhere I'll say, "Oh ladies and gentlemen, it seems that our ears have gotten turned off. Can you please turn on your listening ears?". Then we will all give our ears a tweak to turn them on.  It's cute to watch the little ones "turn on" their listening ears.

It works in JR Primary. Sr Primary thinks it's silly - it doesn't work as well with the older kids - but sometimes I forget who I'm talking to and say it anyway and am met with eye rolls. Oh well.

I Am a Child of God - Objects & Songs Correlation

I used pictures instead of objects. This is one of those cookie bouquet holders - repurposed. :)

THE PLAN:

Sing through all verses of “I Am a Child of God”

Tell them that the objects in the bag represent some part of the song “I Am a Child of God”.

Choose a child to come up and pick an object. Have the child will tell you what part of the song it goes with (they can ask the other kids for
help if needed).

After they’ve figured out which part of the song the goes with, everyone sings the corresponding song for that object (see below).

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- 

OBJECT CORRELATION:

Earth - “He has sent me here, has given me an earthly home”
I Lived in Heaven, pg 4

Family picture - “with parents kind and dear”
Families Can Be Together Forever pg 188

Scriptures - “help me to understand His words”
Keep the Commandments pg 146 OR Search, Ponder, and Pray pg 109

President Monson - “If I but learn to do His will”
Follow The Prophet pg 110

Heavenly Father & Christ - “I’ll live with Him once more”
I Know My Father Lives pg 5
----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

EXTRA TIME?:
Pass an object. When song stops, the child holding the object has to finish the sentence.

----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

SONGS IN THIS LESSON:
I Am a Child of God 2
I Lived in Heaven 4
Families Can Be Together Forever 188
Keep the Commandments 146 OR Search, Ponder and Pray 109
Follow the Prophet 110

----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

PREPARE:

1. picture of the Earth or small globe
2. a picture of a family
3. scriptures
4. picture of President Monson
5. picture of God & Christ
6. bag for all the items

(It helps to write on the back of your pictures!)

*Some ideas borrowed from - HERE

"If You Can Hear Me...."

When the kid are getting rowdy say "If you can hear me, _________"....

Ideas for the blank are, touch your knees, wiggle your head, reach up high, stomp your feet, touch your nose. Repeat this with a few different actions. Talk in a normal voice. Do not raise your voice. Get quieter each time you speak, until you're whispering. Not everyone will do it right away. A few more will, then a few more, then a few more until you have everyone's attention. End on "If you can hear me, touch your elbows"- then you have them in a reverent position ready to listen.

*THIS LINK is all the lyrics to the songs w/flip charts in one document. I'm going to hand it out to my Teachers. It looks like this:

Teacher's Copy, page 1 of 3

THE PLAN:

Tape up a sign that says “Name That Primary Song About LOVE!”

JR:
Pass a heart around - when the piano stops, that child gets to come up and pick a piece of a heart puzzle with a song # on the back. Pianist plays a few notes of the song. Child tries to guess what song it is. Sing that song. Tape the piece on the posterboard.

SR:
Pass around 2 hearts. Two kids come up. I pick a heart puzzle piece. Pianist plays a few notes. Whoever knows the song first, rings the bell. Winner gets to tape up the piece on the heart. Sing that song.

*Every time “love” is said, either sit or stand

----- ----- ----- ----- ---- -----

EXTRA TIME:
After the heart puzzle is all put together;
JR: pass out printed papers for the kids to color and write notes on to the Bishopric
SR: pass out blank papers  for the kids to draw and write notes on to the Bishopric

----- ----- ----- ----- ---- -----

ADD’L INFO:
The heart puzzle is a poster board on which a big outline of a heart is drawn on it (the pieces of the heart have the songs on them) - at the end of Primary write “WE Love Our Bishop!” on the heart. Give it to him after church for him to hang in his office.
*Make 2 - one for JR and one for SR.

----- ----- ----- ----- ---- ----

PREPARE:

• 2 posterboard heart-outline cards
• 2 sets of heart puzzle pieces
• write songs #s on the back of the puzzle pieces
• list of songs to song
• bell
• flip charts for the songs on the list
• printed color sheets
• blank paper
• crayons

Hot Cold Broken Hearts

image source

Tape halves of hearts on the board (have the other halves in a basket or bag or something for the kids to pick from).

*Optional - explain how Jesus is our Savior and mends broken hearts*

One child goes out into the hall.

Another child chooses from the colored hearts. (Be sure to read the heart before the child hides it so you know what song you're singing!) Then the child hides the heart.

Sing the song listed on the heart while the child who was out in the hallway looks for the hidden half. Play “hot/cold” to help the child find the heart (you know, get louder when they’re close, quieter when they go the wrong way...)

Repeat

----- ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- -----

PREPARE:

• Cut out hearts
• Cut hearts in half
• Choose the songs you want to review with this game...
• Write songs and #s on heart halves
• Separate the blank halves (they go up on the board) from the halves with the songs written on them (these are the ones the kids will choose from).

Word Blocker

Write all the words to a song on a poster. Cut out a giant ghost or paper blocks or something to block out some of the words a little at a time. Move the block around.

An example is: Eggcellent Singers, which is fun at Easter time.

*Tip from my awesomely talented Mother-in-Law, Charlotte Stott Coleman who has been a Primary Chorister many times

Faux Lamination

Glue your cut out pieces to poster board, cover them with strips of clear packing tape then cut out the pieces, leaving an edge (the thicker the edge, the better). Yes, it can be lot of work - but it can be cheaper and sometimes more convenient than running to the store.

visual aide covered in packing tape

HOW TO:

*I put this tutorial together while making the monster missionary match game.

NOTE: The heavier the tape, the better. The cheap stuff is flimsy and hard to work with. The dollar store stuff is worthless. Scotch has a good heavy duty tape. After a year in the Primary Music Leader calling I've done this with all types of tape.  :)

NOTE #2: This WILL make your scissors sticky. Especially with the heavier tape. The good news; scissors can be washed. :)

NOTE #3: I did not mean for my examples to have the same body position. They just want to say 'hi'! Both with their right hands, apparently.

1. Pieces are glued or taped onto cardboard backing (a cereal box, in this case)

2. On a clean surface, completely cover the front side. Row by row by row of tape.
Overlap rows a little bit. Give yourself plenty of room around the border.
You'll be sticking tape to the other side of the tape hanging off the border...

3. Flip it over.
The tape will hang over the edge. Do not let it fold back on itself.

*Now it's face down. See? It's a cereal box.  :)

4. Tape around the edges, covering the cardboard and the tape on the back side.
This will create a clear tape edge around the picture.
You can tape the whole back if you want to, but in this case it was a waste of tape. I just did the sides all the way around.

5. Trim the excess tape from around the edge. Leave a border of tape all the way around.
Tape should be stuck to tape, there shouldn't be any sticky spots.

* Can you see the clear tape border?

All done!

Another picture, for good measure.

Stand By Me

Never stand in one spot. If children are not being reverent while during singing time walk over to them and stand by them.

My Heavenly Father Loves Me Wheel Visual Aide

Wendy B. posted on Facebook  and idea for a posterboard wheel for My Heavenly Father Loves Me.  Here's how mine turned out.

1. Cut a circle out of blue posterboard
2. Cut a circle (same size) out of white posterboard
3. Draw 8 "pie slices" on the white posterboard
4. Cut out 1/8th slice of the blue posterboard (one "pizza slice")
5. Make the blue posterboard look like the Earth
6. Draw something for each line (4 in each verse, 8 all together)

My Heavenly Father Loves Me - Teaching the Song/In Depth Lesson Plan for Split JR/SR Primary

image source

I have a split JR/SR Primary. So sometimes I have to do different variations of an idea. I'm sure you can piece together this lesson plan to fit your needs. I also get music AND sharing time the first Sunday of the month, so I need something lengthy - take out parts if you need it to fit a shorter time frame.

This is what I'm doing for My Heavenly Father Loves Me, the song from February 2013.

• JR is making my flip chart (It's a very visual song. Give "blue blue sky" to the Sunbeams.)
• SR is doing a scripture+picture match-up
• (both are learning the song, of course)

----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- 

THE PLAN:

First, teach the Simple Actions to My Heavenly Father Loves Me
Then....

JR - color pictures/flip chart:
Pass out blank pieces of paper and crayons
Pass out a word strip to each class
*Have them write their name on the back of their drawing!

While the children are drawing have Teachers help you sing “My Heavenly Father Loves Me" a few times.

Start with the first lyric set. Have everyone in the class come up and show their drawing while you sing to that point. Pull one picture out for each verse. Keep the children’s pictures to make a flip chart. Repeat, and so on...

-> Repeat this activity for the second verse. <-

-------

SR - Scripture+Picture Match-up:

Have the JR Primary’s pictures displayed on the board in order.
A child chooses & reads a scripture. Each scripture goes with each lyric segment (see list below). Children must figure out which picture (the ones from JR Primary) the scripture goes with it. Tape it under the right picture. Sing - but only sing the parts that have scriptures up. Hum the rest. Continue until all scriptures are up. Then do for the second verse.

Continue to do for the second verse.

SCRIPTURES/Lyrics:
--- V1 ---

1. D&C 42:50 - He who hath faith to hear shall hear.

Whenever I hear the song of a bird

2. Proverbs 4:25 - Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.   

Or look at the blue, blue sky

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

He gave me my life, my mind, my heart; I thank him rev'rently

12. Genesis 1:31 - And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

For all his creations, of which I'm a part.

Yes, I know Heav'nly Father loves me.
