Listening and Singing Experiences:

Junior Primary/Senior Primary

Wiggle Song: If You're Happy (277)
Singing Time:

1. Tom the Thankful Turkey (2 minutes): Introduce Tom the Thankful Turkey by explaining that he is thankful for music and how it can help us feel Heavenly Father's love. The Primary songs are written specifically for that! To feel God's love. We are going to write our favorite Primary songs on the back of each feather and sing those during this month. If your feather is chosen, you can choose how we are going to sing the song using our how to sing sticks. We may even get to sing some of the Primary songs more than once since we might have the same favorite song as someone else! Teachers, you get to participate as well! 
2. Write Favorite Songs on Feathers (5 minutes): Have teachers help those who need it to write their names and favorite songs on their feather. While children are doing this, ask the pianist to play softly in the background some of her favorite songs. 
3. Sing Some! (5 minutes) Sing as many as possible during time allotted.
4. Children All Over the World (10 minutes): Before singing song to children show them the flags on the flipchart pages and have them guess the country as I say thank you in that language:
• UNITED STATES (English)
• GREAT BRITAIN (English)
• SPAIN (Spanish)
• TONGA (Tongan)
• GERMANY (German)
• DENMARK (Danish)
• FRANCE (French)
• JAPAN (Japanese) 
5. Have the children repeat the "thank you" after each country. Sing just the different languages section together, at least twice. Sing the entire song with the children using flipchart.
