Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
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…
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…
We did our Children’s Sacrament Meeting Presentation last Sunday – it was fun and beautiful – and I love having our program just before General Conference. We had a nice break from regularly scheduled meetings, and now I am excited to go back and sing …

I used this idea from Primary Singing Ideas last Sunday, and it was a great success. I used finger chimes, a frog instrument, a maraca, and a drum to go with the rhythms above. It was great fun to do the rhythms one at a time as we sang the chorus of “…
There have been so many great pioneer ideas for singing time online this month. I have been out of town for a couple weeks, so I’m excited to be able to have some pioneer fun in primary this Sunday. I am going to be using The Children Sing’s roller box…
After we sing “My Country” (CS 224) a couple times to be familiar with it, I am going to place one of these patriotic leis (found at Dollar Tree) on one of the children. We will continue singing the song while the children gently remove the lei from th…
I am going to bring out my pipe chimes to play as we sing “My Country, Tis of Thee” this Sunday. I thought it was appropriate to play chimes on the song that calls for freedom to “ring”!I have my poster done up, showing by number which chime is played …
