Listening and Singing Experiences:

Junior Primary/Senior Primary


Singing Time: 


Junior Primary (11:15-11:35)
  1. Action Songs: Head Shoulders Knees and Toes (275)
  2. Articles of Faith Song: 4. 
  3. I Stand All Amazed (Hymn 193) - Chorus only. Thank you to Janelle (found her lesson plan on Sugardoodle) for this amazing lesson plan! I'd found a bunch of ideas from various blogs, but hers incorporated all my favorite elements and were already organized! 
    • Ask the pianist to quietly play the chorus in the background. Show children a picture of Christ in Gethsemane and Christ on the cross.  Have them quietly raise their hands if they can tell you about these pictures.  Call on a few children to give their answers.  Ask why Christ did these things for us – because He loves us.  Explain that we are going to learn a hymn from the Hymnbook (show them the Hymnbook).  They may have heard it sung in Sacrament Meeting.  
    • Tell them you are going to sing the chorus (the ending part) and you want them to count how many times you sing “wonderful” on their fingers.  Sing and get answers by having the children hold up their fingers with how many times they heard the word.
    • Tell them that each time you sang “wonderful” it had a special rhythm.  Clap the rhythm.  It's a bouncy rhythm. Have them clap the bouncy rhythm with you while saying “wonderful”.  (The rhythm is “long – short – long”.)
    • Sing the chorus again while everyone claps the correct rhythm on “wonderful”.
    • Have them listen for 2 other times in the chorus where you sing the same rhythm (long – short – long), but different words.  Sing and get answers.  (care for me, die for me)
    • Have them sing the chorus with you clapping on all the “long-short-long” rhythms.  (wonderful, care for me, die for me, wonderful, wonderful).
  4. The Wise Man and the Foolish Man (281)
  5. Did Jesus Really Live Again (64)
    • In April we have been invited to sing on Easter Sunday in Sacrament Meeting! Raise your hand if you know why we celebrate Easter. Call on a child to answer - to remember that Christ died and was resurrected so that we too can live again. Show 
    • We're only going to learn the first of three verses today. I am going to sing you the first verse. The song asks us a question and then gives us the answer. When you hear the question, stand up. When you hear the answer, sit down. 
    • What was the question? (Did Jesus really live again?) What was the answer? (Yes, when the third day came.) Sing the children's responses back to them to familiarize them with the melody.
    • After the question and answer, the song tells us 3 things that Jesus DID. Count them on your fingers when you hear them. 
    • What were the 3 things? (wakened, left the tomb, called Mary's name) To help us remember the 3 things, let's look at this picture. We can see the Jesus awoke, he left the tomb, and he's talking to Mary.
    • Sing the song through once.
  6. Reverent Song: Father, I Will Reverent Be - sing as the kids are dismissed to class.
Senior Primary (12:05-12:25)
  1. If You're Happy (266) - sing twice.
  2. Articles of Faith Songs: 3 and 4. 
  3. I Stand All Amazed (Hymn 193)
    • Ask the pianist to quietly play the chorus in the background. Show children a picture of Christ in Gethsemane and Christ on the cross.  Have them quietly raise their hands if they can tell you about these pictures.  Call on a few children to give their answers.  Ask why Christ did these things for us – because He loves us.  Explain that we are going to learn a hymn from the Hymnbook (show them the Hymnbook).  They may have heard it sung in Sacrament Meeting.  
    • Tell them you are going to sing the chorus (the ending part) and you want them to count how many times you sing “wonderful”. Sing and get answers. (3)
    • Tell them that each time you sang “wonderful” it had a special rhythm.  Clap the rhythm.  It's a bouncy rhythm. Have them clap the bouncy rhythm with you while saying “wonderful”.  (The rhythm is “long – short – long”.)
    • Sing the chorus again while everyone claps the correct rhythm on “wonderful”.
    • Tell them one of the times you sing “wonderful” you hold it longer.  Have them listen for this while you sing.  Sing again and have children hold up their fingers in the arm to indicate while time “wonderful” was held longer.  (2nd time you sing it).
    • Have them listen for 2 other times in the chorus where you sing the same rhythm (long – short – long), but different words.  Sing and get answers.  (care for me, die for me)
    • Have them sing the chorus with you clapping on all the “long-short-long” rhythms.  (wonderful, care for me, die for me, wonderful, wonderful). 
  4. Did Jesus Really Live Again (64)
    • In April we have been invited to sing on Easter Sunday in Sacrament Meeting! Raise your hand if you know why we celebrate Easter. Call on a child to answer - to remember that Christ died and was resurrected so that we too can live again. Show 
    • We're only going to learn the first of three verses today. I am going to sing you the first verse. The song asks us a question and then gives us the answer. When you hear the question, raise your hand like you do in school when you have a question. When you hear the answer, put your hand down. 
    • What was the question? (Did Jesus really live again?) 
      • Draw question mark on the board.
    • What was the answer? (Yes, when the third day came.) 
      • Draw the number 3 on the board.
    • Sing the children's responses back to them to familiarize them with the melody.
    • After the question and answer, the song tells us 3 things that Jesus DID. Count them on your fingers when you hear them. 
    • What were the 3 things? (wakened, left the tomb, called Mary's name) As they list the 3 things, put picture up on the board after the number 3.
