Downloaded from: http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com/2014/04/lesson-plans-may-2014.html Following are my ideas for Singing Times related to the May 2014 theme “Families are blessed when they follow the prophet.” Teach one of my favorite new songs, “Build An Ark.” (flip chart coming soon!) Listen to it here. Or watch Sister Janet Checchio teach the song at 2013 Primary Training here. It was printed in “the Friend,” so it’s approved to teach, but make sure to…

Downloaded from: http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com/2014/04/how-to-use-flip-charts.html I love flip charts! I think that pictures are an effective way to reinforce messages which can sometimes be difficult for small children to understand. And for older children, they are a great way to remind them of the lines of a song without undermining the effort to memorize. Unfortunately, it’s easy to fall into the trap of using flip charts as a crutch. To avoid that, I…

Downloaded from: http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com/2014/04/how-to-teach-new-songs.html When I teach a new song, I usually do some variation on the following process: Introduce them to the melody. Have the pianist softly play the song while you discuss the theme. Sing or play the song for them and ask them to listen for something specific (how many times does it use this word, answer this question, etc.) Have them sing the melody in an…

Downloaded from: http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com/2014/04/lesson-plans-april-2014.html I realize that April is almost over, but I’ve decided that it’s better late than never. Maybe you’ll be looking for ways to review the song and its topics later in the year. Teach the monthly song “The Family is of God” using the flipchart found here. Review “The Family is of God” with the rock, paper, scissors activity found here. Review “The Family is of God…

Downloaded from: http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com/2014/04/song-i-am-stripling-warrior.html A lot of choristers are bored with the usual Mother’s Day songs and are looking for something different. As a chorister, I’m all about keeping it simple this time of year. But, as a mom, I’m 100% on board. If you’re looking to shake things up this year, one option is this great song written by Lee Slichter. She has generously shared it with us all free…

Downloaded from: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PattiesPrimaryPlace/~3/UERENWMngak/mothers-day-singing-time.html The lovely Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival gardens going on right now. So lovely. I remember when my kids were little there was a wonderful first grade teacher who always did a little program in her classroom. Several of my children were lucky enough to have her as a teacher. Her name was Mrs. Estelle Seaton. She was such a gifted teacher. She used to call her teaching year…

Downloaded from: http://ohwhatdoyoudoforsingingtime.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-family-is-of-god.html I originally found an awesome lesson plan for “The Family is of God” on the blog, Pergler’s Primary Place. It incorporates the proclamation to the family. I thought it could easily be adapted for singing time. -Wrap a picture of a family. Present it to the children.-“Inside this present is a picture of a gift from Heavenly Father.”-“Raise your hand if you like to give gifts?…

Tell them that when you count to three they should all stand and sing their song at the same time. Count to three and let them sing. Stop the singing, and have the music leader lead them all in one song. Point out that without the music leader…
