May Singing Time

The primary children are singing "Mother, I Love You" next week in Sacrament Meeting. The Sr. Primary kids know it pretty well, but the Jr. Primary needs some help with it.  While I hold a flip chart with pictures and words for the kids to see, I'll have one child come up and hold a Popsicle stick with a big heart on it.  Every time we say the word "Love" the child will hold up the stick heart.

HERE is what I'll be doing for Mother's Day next week.  Thanks to Primary Notes 29 for the idea!

The following Sunday I'll be teaching the kids "Families Can Be Together Forever".  We'll play a memory matching game inspired by THIS LINK, but I think I'll tweak it a little to make it my own.

And for the last Sunday in May we'll review all the songs we've learned for the program to date with a review game of some kind.

I Am a Stripling Warrior

For Mother's Day tomorrow our primary will be singing a song written by one of the sisters in our ward.  It's called "I Am a Stripling Warrior"  and I think it's such a nice way to honor mothers.  I taught the kids the 1st verse as it it, but because of time constraints I combined the 2nd and 3rd verses (as you can see in this flip chart I made to cue the children).

Happy Mother's Day!
