Downloaded from: http://aprimarysingingtime.blogspot.com/2013/01/using-animal-puppets.html I have these darling puppets around and wondered how I might use them.  I found some ideas HERE and adapted them to suit the animals that I have.  I may use these next week along with the singing science experiment, but I’m not sure I’ll have time.  Still, always nice to have a backup!!!   Dog: Dan the dog is always running fast. He likes us to sing while…

Downloaded from: http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com/2013/01/activity-my-bonny.html The inspiration for this game comes from the song “My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean.”  As a child, when we sang this song, we would stand up or sit down whenever we sang a “b” word.  (It gets fun right around the part where we start singing “bring back, bring back, oh bring back my Bonny to me.”) In the Primary version, I have the children stand…

Downloaded from: http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com/2013/01/song-review-if-savior-stood-beside-me.html I originally planned this as a Sharing Time when we were learning “I’m Trying to Be Like Jesus.”  I explained that if we wanted to be like Jesus, then we had to know who he was.  I put the pictures on the board and let the children choose them, one by one.  As a picture was chosen, we would read the back and learn about one characteristic…

Downloaded from: http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com/2013/01/activity-rock-paper-scissors.html This activity is meant to review songs with multiple verses.  The chorister calls out either a word or a theme which occurs in only one of the verses.  As an example, if we were reviewing “I Am a Child of God,” I might call out the word “parents,” which appears only in verse one.  Then all the children hit their fists on their open hands three times and…

Downloaded from: http://aprimarysingingtime.blogspot.com/2013/01/lesson-plan-for-february-3rd-my.html Now that I’m all ready for tomorrow, I was struck with an idea for February 3 that I’m REALLY excited about.  As you might have noticed, I was SUPPOSED to be doing the Singing Science Experiment tomorrow, but I pushed it back to next week (and moved the ‘nose’ ark to October, what better time to be silly with animal faces?). The instructions for the science experiment…

Downloaded from: http://ohwhatdoyoudoforsingingtime.blogspot.com/2013/01/agency.html Hello!  Sorry for the delay in my post this week.  We have been sick sick sick at our house.  Anyhow, here are a couple ideas for week 4: I have agency, & I am responsible for my choices. 1.  Find stories/personal experiences reflecting agency.  Kathleen, writer of The Children Sing blog, suggested using those provided in the Friend Magazine’s “I’m Trying to be like Jesus” feature.  See…

Downloaded from: http://aprimarysingingtime.blogspot.com/2013/01/traffic-light.html My sweet little girl has had the flu . . . and I have been stuck home . . . so I figured it was time to do a couple of projects I’d been thinking about!! Today I made a traffic light.  Instead of having the kids hold “STOP” and “GO” signs, I wanted something new and this is what I came up with. I used some…
