Listening and Singing Experiences:

Singing Time: 

Junior Primary (11:15-11:35) - Review 

1. Action Songs: The Wise Man and the Foolish Man - using Rhythm Sticks
• Tried this last week and the kids LOVED it. Hand out the sticks to each child and remind them they are only to tap their sticks together (not hit themselves, their neighbors, their chairs, or their teachers - if they do, you will take away their sticks - I gave them back their sticks after 1 minute). To make sure they will listen, I had them tap their sticks quickly on "go" and hold them still at "stop". We practiced this a few times before singing. 
• We kept the beat during the verse, or kept the rhythm of the song during the verses. We tapped the sticks quickly starting them high and lowering them while singing "the rains came down", then tapped them slowly moving them up while singing "and the floods came up". You can improvise, it's just to get the kids moving and interacting with the beat, the rhythm and the sticks.
2. Follow the Prophet - teach the children the chorus by first marching in the place, then marching around the room. Sing a few times, giving the children turns to be the leader - just as we follow the leader, we are to follow the prophet. 
3. Book of Mormon Stories - sing using the hand actions.
4. I Love to See the Temple
5. Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam - remind children to sit in the seats and jump up.
6. The Family is of God - Verse 1
7. Reverent Song: The Chapel Doors (156) - sing as the kids are dismissed to class.

Senior Primary (12:05-12:25) 

1. Action Songs: The Wise Man and the Foolish Man - using Rhythm Sticks (use same process as above)
2. Articles of Faith Song: 5 - Pitch lead, clap tricky rhythms. 6 - new this week, sing to them once, invite them to sing with you once, pitch lead.
