Listening and Singing Experiences:

Junior Primary/Senior Primary


Singing Time: 


Junior Primary (11:15-11:35)
  1. Action Song: The Wise Man and the Foolish Man (281)
  2. Articles of Faith Song: 2 (122). 
  3. I Will Follow God's Plan (164)
    • Sing through using all the actions.
    • Invite a Super Singer to come up and use the STOP and GO stick. For Junior Primary, stop the song completely and then resume singing where you left off. This will teach the children to watch whoever is leading the music. Repeat.
  4. I Stand All Amazed (Hymn 193) - review chorus, verse 1. I referred to Janelle's lesson plan on Sugardoodle.net, but ultimately chose to use simplified ASL to teach verse 1 using Kami's Simplified ASL.
    • Who can remember what our new song is about? Show Gethsemane pictures again. Do you remember how many times we sing “wonderful” in the chorus?  Do you remember the rhythm of “wonderful”?  Let’s sing the chorus and clap on wonderful and the other two phrases that have that same rhythm.  Sing chorus again, but do NOT sing the words on the clapping.  Repeat.
    • Sing verse 1 to the children using these signs. (not the chorus yet)

    • Invite the children to sing/sign each of the 4 phrases with you. Briefly explain what the words mean (can just explain overall meaning of each phrase):
      • stand - doesn't mean standing up, but to feel strongly
      • amazed - surprised
      • offers - gives
      • confused - I don't understand it
      • grace - help from Jesus Christ because He loves us
      • fully - completely
      • proffers - gives
      • tremble - shake
      • crucified - show picture
      • sinner - someone who makes mistakes
    • Emphasize signing "me" - Jesus did things things for us because He loves us. I want the children to come away hearing and feeling that their Savior loves them. 
  5. Action Song: Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam (60)
  6. Reverent Song: Father, I Will Reverent Be - sing as the kids are dismissed to class.
Senior Primary (12:05-12:25) 
  1. The Wise Man and the Foolish Man (281)
  2. Articles of Faith Songs: 2 and 4. 
  3. I Will Follow God's Plan (64)
    • Post Melody Maps on the board in random order. Sing the song and have the children figure out what the papers have to do with the song. (the circles represent the notes, or the melody of the song)
    • Challenge them to put the Melody Maps in order.
    • Sing through the song again, this time, invite them to pitch lead using the Melody Maps as a guide.
  4. I Stand All Amazed (Hymn 193) I referenced Pat Graham's Lesson Plan
    • Who can remember what our new song is about? Show Gethsemane pictures again. Do you remember how many times we sing “wonderful” in the chorus?  Do you remember the rhythm of “wonderful”?  Let’s sing the chorus and clap on wonderful and the other two phrases that have that same rhythm.  Sing chorus again, but do NOT sing the words on the clapping.  Repeat.
    • Today we're going to learn verse 1. Verse 1 has other words and phrases with the same bouncy rhythm as "wonderful". I'm going to sing the verse again, listen for and find 4 other words and phrases! ("offers me", "proffers me", "crucified", "bled and died"). Put word strips for each one up on the board in a left side column. Sing the words/phrase and clap the rhythm.
    • There are 2 words that mean to give, what are they? (offer, proffer). Sing those parts. What is Jesus giving us? (love, grace - see definition above)
    • What word means to be killed on a cross? (crucified). It surprises me that wicked people killed Jesus just because they didn't understand who He was. 
    • Our song uses another word that means surprised in the first line, what is it? (amazed). 
    • Our song says "that for me a sinner" - what is a sinner? (someone who makes mistakes) Bear testimony that because Jesus loves us and He knew we would make mistakes, He suffered, or paid the price for our sins. Sing that part.
    • Sing the song through using the simplified ASL in the video posted above.
  5. To Think About Jesus (71) Sing the Reverent Song as the Jr. Primary comes in.

  1. Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
  2. Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam
  3. Follow the Prophet (chorus only)
