- Action Songs: Head Shoulders Knees and Toes (275)
- Articles of Faith Songs: 3 and 4. Sing through the Third Article of Faith (kids have been working on it). The Fourth Article of Faith is new. Sing it to them - showing "first" "second" "third" and "fourth" on fingers (over emphasize) as you point to the corresponding picture on the poster. Invite the children to sing along and/or count 1-4 on fingers.
- Action Song: Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam (60) - teach Sunbeams how to sing while sitting on their chairs and only jumping up on "beam". Invite some of the CTR's to bring their chairs up in front to demonstrate while we sing. If necessary, put sunshine sticks on their chairs and have them sit on them.
- Review "I Will Follow God's Plan":
- Last week we started learning our new program song. I'm going to sing the 1st half of it to you, if you know the words sing with me. Every time you hear or sing the word "life", clap! Let's practice how to do that before we sing (say "life", "lips", "light", "life", "life" - just to see if they're listening).
- This time, I need your help. I can't remember the words and I need some signs/actions to help me. Sing "My life is a _____" - what is that word? (gift) What action can we use for gift? (if they need an idea, use the SIGN) Sing the phrase again with the movement. Sing "My life has a _____" - what is that word? (plan) I have a sign for this one: PLAN. Sing phrase with sign. Sing first 2 phrases together. Sing "My life has a purpose in heav'n it began". That one is tricky! How about we point out for "purpose" (something to do) and then point up for "heav'n". Sing phrase with movement. Sing all 3 phrases together.
- If time, continue the process using the following signs/actions:
- Reverent Song: Father, I Will Reverent Be - sing as the kids are dismissed to class.
- Articles of Faith Songs: 3 and 4. Sing through the Third Article of Faith (kids have been working on it). The Fourth Article of Faith is a new song. Show them the Article of Faith poster and sing the song to them. Point to each square and ask the children what each one stood for (1 - faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, 2 - repentance, 3 - baptism by immersion, 4 - laying on of hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost). Invite the children to sing with you.
- Review 1st half of "I Will Follow God's Plan": (find original lesson plan HERE)
- Let's quickly review the first half of our new song. Let's clap every time we sing "life" and stand up/sit down on the rhyming words.
- Let's sing it one more time, but this time we're not going to clap and stand up - if you think you know all the words I want you to look up at the ceiling while you are singing it. If you need a bit of help, watch me.
- Teach 2nd Half of song:
- The first half of the song talks about how we chose to come to earth and follow God’s light (or plan) that He has for us. The 2nd half of the song will teach us HOW to follow God’s plan and what happens when we do.
- I’m going to sing the 2nd half and I want you to listen for the word “will”. How many times do I sing it? (5)
- What word came before the word “will”? (I). I’m going to sing it again and I want you to stand up the first time I sing “I will”, then sit down the next time I sing “I will”, then stand up the next time, etc. Sing.
- Listen this time for what we need to hold fast to. Sing again and get answers (word and his love). What is his “word”? (scriptures, prophets). What does it mean to hold to “his love”? How do you know God loves you?
- Let’s sing it again and this you time you sing all the “I wills”. Listen for the 3 things it says we will do after we hold to his word and his love. Sing and get answers (work, pray, walk in his way). (Sing without the piano or just with the piano playing the melody so you can slow down on the parts the kids sing).
- Let’s see if you can tell me all the things that the songs says we will do. (I will follow God’s plan, will work, will pray, will always walk in his way). Great! Now, the end of the song tells us what will happen if we do all those things? Do you remember what the song says? Listen for the answer. Sing just the ending “then I will be happy on earth and in my home above.” If you keep the commandments will you be happy on earth? Why? Does that mean you won’t have anything bad happen to you? What is your home above?
- Share Mosiah 2:41. Explain and share brief testimony of following God & Jesus.
