Singing Time Plan: June #4

Junior Primary
Draw your own idea	"The Holy Ghost"  (p. 105)  Paper cups.  Use as an instrument, tapping on lap and on the opposite hand.
	"Tell Me the Stories of Jesus"  (p. 57)  Magic chalkboard.  Tell the children you brought in a magic chalkboard, and it will draw a picture of what you sing.  As you sing, draw a fast, simple illustration, then hide the chalk and pretend like you're surprised. Ooh, they eat this up!
	"I Feel My Savior's Love"  (p. 74)  Draw your own idea.  Pass out crayons and paper and ask the children to draw something that helps them feel the Savior's love for them.
	"Come, Follow Me"  (Hymns #116)  Mirror image.  I got this idea from Sharla at TeachingPrimaryMusic.com.  Stand face to face with a partner. One person moves their hands with the feel of the music, and the other person follows the movement as the mirror.  See the video link below for example movements.

"The Holy Ghost"  (p. 105)  Paper cups.  Choose a complicated rhythm!
"Tell Me the Stories of Jesus"  (p. 57)  Magic chalkboard.  Same as for Junior, above. After one sing-through, ask for ideas of details you could add to your illustration.  Sing while you add them.
"I Feel My Savior's Love"  (p. 74)  Envelope game.  See my description in a previous post, here.
"Come, Follow Me"  (Hymns # 116)     Mirror image. See description in Junior, above.  As an added challenge, ask the children to move their hands higher when the pitch rises and lower when the pitch falls.

Happy singing!
