Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
This Sunday we will be doing a sing-a-story of Christmas (scriptures and song order came from “A Children’s Songbook Companion”). I have my nativity poster ready to go, using just 5 figures, that will be placed inside numbered envelopes. On the back of…
I wanted to give the children a little reminder of the songs we are singing in Sacrament Meeting next Sunday, so made a paper chain to help them countdown the days, and practice at the same time. I am attaching 7 strips of paper to a note that reads:
Make a paper chain, alternating red and green strips. Every night, take off one chain and practice one of the songs we will sing in Sacrament Meeting next Sunday, Dec. 12th.
Red = Away in a Manger (CS 42)
Green = Mary’s Lullaby (CS 44)
I may do this again next year the week before the big Primary program, using a different color link for each song they will be singing!
This Sunday we will be learning “Samuel Tells of the Baby Jesus” (CS 36). These are my visuals, and I plan to write out the chorus underneath them on the chalkboard. To introduce the song, I will bring a globe and point out the distances between Americ…
This afternoon I put together the songs on CD and our lyric booklet for the 2011 program. I made a “magic book” for the lyrics, which is one sheet of paper, folded and cut to make a little book. I made one of these for my visiting teaching blog, which …
We are starting Christmas music tomorrow! Our primary has been asked to sing in Sacrament Meeting December 12th, so we have 4 weeks to learn a couple Christmas songs. We will start with “Mary’s Lullaby” (CS 44) using the visuals pictured above. I’ll ha…

Be sure that the holes are drilled straight so that the legs are straight and the object lesson will work properly. Glue three of the legs into the table. Leave the fourth leg unglued,…

I am using a couple pages from the Friend Magazine (from April and August 2010 issues) to help me choose songs in my next singing time. I am covering all the close-up pictures with sticky notes on which I have written page and verse numbers on the back…
I’m excited for today’s singing time. We are talking about being missionaries today, and because I wanted to learn a new birthday song, I decided to introduce “Feliz Cumpleanos (CS 282). We can talk a little about understanding different cultures, and …
I posted a few days ago my “Follow the Prophet” singing time. These are the visual aids I’ll have in my apron pockets to help with each song. All of these ideas came from my favorite music go-to book, A Children’s Songbook Companion.We’ll Bring the Wor…
It is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). Have you ever wanted a toy, a game, or a piece of sports equipment so much that you asked for it over and over again, and even imagined how happy you would be playing with it? If you finally got it, was it everything you expected? Were you disappointed? Did you tire of playing with it? Did it break…

1. Talk to the children about giving gifts of time, love, and service to others. Divide into classes. Roll out large sheets of butcher paper, newspaper roll ends, or freezer paper. With a large, blunt crayon, trace around each child to create a full body silhouette. Let each child cut out his own silhouette and then draw in his own face. On the back of each silhouette, glue a small…
