The Power of the Scriptures

May 19, 2016

 
I created this activity to introduce the song Scripture Power, but it could be used any time the subject is scripture related. 
 
Begin by showing the children a small lamp.  Ask one of the children to switch it on.  The bulb won’t light because the lamp is not plugged in-it has no power.  Explain that electricity is a kind of energy or power.  When we plug a device into a power outlet, power flows to the device and it works.  Plug the lamp into an outlet and ask the child to try to switch it on again.
 
Ask what kind of power we get from the scriptures.  Some possible answers are listed in the activity.  Tell the children that reading the scriptures is like plugging into an outlet- we can’t benefit from the power unless we “plug in,” or read.
 
Print the document linked below.  Display the first page at the front of the room.  Then cut out the lightning bolts on the following pages.  On the back, write a type of power, and the title and page number of  a song that works with the theme.  Have one of the children find a lightning bolt and move it to the page at the front of the room.  Briefly discuss the power and sing the song.  Remember, Singing Time is not Sharing Time- be sure not to spend too much time talking.

"Praise to the Man" Review

May 16, 2016

 
I’ve created this game for Senior Primary to review verses one, three, and/or the chorus of “Praise to the Man.”  It is a good way to get the kids to sing the song many times and to pay attention to the lyrics without realizing that they’re working.   
 
To prepare the game:
1.  Download the appropriate PDF at the bottom of the page. (I have a separate document for each verse and the chorus, in both US and A4 paper sizes).
2.  Print the first two pages
3.  Print the last two pages on the back of the first two.
4.  Cut out the strips.
 
Now you should have a puzzle with the picture on one side and the lyrics to the song on the other.  (If you can’t get the lyrics to line up, just write them in marker.)  Cut a piece of clear shelf paper, or press-and-seal plastic, big enough to cover the entire puzzle.  Remove the backing and attach it to the blackboard, sticky-side-out, with magnets or tape.   Attach the puzzle pieces, lyrics-side-out, to the blackboard with magnets or clear tape.  
Tell the children that they need to learn the song so well that they can recite it inside-out, backward and forward.  They’re going to see if they can sing the song from the end to the beginning.  Take the strip that reads “the hero again.” and place it at the bottom of the piece of shelf paper.  Explain that this is the last line of the verse. 
Ask them to sing the song with you and listen for the line that occurs just BEFORE this one.  Sing through the song and ask the children which word strip belongs just above the one that you’ve already posted.  Have them find the word-strip and carefully attach it to the shelf paper above the first. 
Continue the game until all the word strips are on the page in the correct order.  When the lyrics are complete, remove the magnets holding up the shelf paper and turn it around, showing the children the picture side of the puzzle. 
The completed puzzles will look like this:
 
Verse 1
 
Verse 3

Chorus
