Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Downloaded from: http://primarynotes29.blogspot.com/2013/05/fathers-day-cut-tie.html image sourceA classic Father’s Day activity is Cut The Tie. I’ve seen it done many time in various Primaries. Invite the Bishop or the Bishopric Member over Primary to come in. Pre-plan that he will be wearing an old tie that he doesn’t care about, or one from the thrift shop. Sing Cut off a piece of the tie (from the bottom up) – the size you…

Downloaded from: http://primarynotes29.blogspot.com/2013/05/task-before-you-ask.html Cheryl K. on the Primary Chorister’s Facebook Group shared this very, very helpful classroom management tip: -> “Hands down, the BEST teaching advice I’ve ever been given is called, ‘Task before you ask.’ When you ask a question, give the kids something to do in response, or else they will all call out at once (because they all think you are talking to only them). This technique…

Downloaded from: http://aprimarysingingtime.blogspot.com/2013/05/double-dice-program-songs-and-ways-to.html For our review on 5/26, I am doubling the dice. I printed a set of cards with the names of program songs for the year and will attach them to one of my “Ways to Sing” dice. We’ll have the kids take turn rolling both a song and a way to sing. Easy and definitely reuseable!
Downloaded from: http://ohwhatdoyoudoforsingingtime.blogspot.com/2013/05/build-mother.html This idea is courtesy of www.iheartprimarymusic.blogspot.com. I drew my own. Have the children pick pieces and assemble the mother. For each piece, read the poem and sing a song. Legs/Feet: Her feet are busy all day long, with loving tasks to make me strong. They lead me in the righteous way and guide me if I go astray.Knees: Whether playing a game or scrubbing the floors, her knees bend willingly…

Downloaded from: http://primarynotes29.blogspot.com/2013/05/holding-hands-around-world-mail-swap.html I decided to incorporate a mail swap when we learned the song Holding Hands Around the World. I found two Primaries in Italy and Japan to do our mail swap with (our Utah Ward was big enough to split with two other Wards). Finding a Ward turned out to be trickier than I thought, but I pulled it off. So, if you want to do this be sure…

Downloaded from: http://aprimarysingingtime.blogspot.com/2013/05/second-mothers-day-idea.html Update – in the end I got enough responses to use my original idea and, especially with the blow dryer box, it was really fun!! So . . . you win some you lose some. Time to simplify. I have only gotten a few responses back on my “Mother’s Day Guess Who”, so time to come up with a BACKUP PLAN in case I can’t get enough…

Downloaded from: http://aprimarysingingtime.blogspot.com/2013/05/president-monson-favorite-things-cards.html I mentioned in my post about President Monson that I found a great link with interesting facts about him and beautiful pictures. There are far too many to use today, or even this month, so I have decided to incorporate a “President Monson’s Favorite Things” bit throughout the year. Every now and then I will put one or two of these laminated cards under the kids’ chairs,…

Downloaded from: http://aprimarysingingtime.blogspot.com/2013/05/teaching-i-want-to-live-gospel-519.html Since I’m keeping the kids so busy the first couple of Sundays in May (Mother’s Day song, all about President Monson), I’m going to focus exclusively on our song for the month the third Sunday. Our Presidency picked “I Want to Live the Gospel”. I’ll introduce the song as suggested in the June 2007 Friend: “Ask the children, “What do you want?” Give many children an opportunity…

Downloaded from: http://aprimarysingingtime.blogspot.com/2013/05/pop-up-puppet-review-tool.html I love the internet. Today I was brainstorming how to get Jr. Primary to review the Mother’s Day song when ‘Singing Magic’ posted a list that included a pop-up puppet that comes out only when the kids are singing really well. Perfect! Putting it together took all of ten minutes. I used a large fruit snack box – light, just big enough for my hand but not…

Downloaded from: http://primarynotes29.blogspot.com/2013/05/color-cups-magic-potion.html I found the idea here, on Primary Singing Ideas. —– —– —– —– —– HOW TO DO IT: 1) Fill clear containers (ie: plastic drinking cups) with 3/4 cup water and 1/3 cup vinegar. (the ratio can be varied, but more vinegar= more fizz). PLACE CONTAINERS on a BAKING SHEET. This WILL MAKE A MESS!!!! 2) Place one small drop of food coloring on a metal spoon…
