My WHO? Container

I have a container that I've cut strips of who can sing. I wrote "WHO" on it.  It's my WHO? can.  I use it to extend signing time and keep them singing. Since it's something I keep using it over and over, I thought I'd post about it.

For example, for the song  I Will Follow God's Plan I asked the Primary, "Who will follow God's plan?"  I invited a child to pick from the WHO? Container - and then I make a big deal about those kids ("Yes! people wearing blue will follow God's plan!!!") and only those kids sing. I first used the WHO? Container for the song I Lived in Heaven.  It's the same idea...(see it here!).

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

Ideas for WHO paper strips:

• hair color
• hair length
• eye color
• clothing color
• age (older than/younger than)
• girls / boys
• missing teeth
• have had a birthday this year / birthday coming up

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.
