Listening and Singing Experiences:

Singing Time: 

Junior Primary (11:15-11:35) - use "Reverent Glue" to keep kids in their seats (Have the kids paint their chairs with Reverent Glue before sitting down)

1. Action Song: Do As I'm Doing - sing 3 times
• use action circles, have a child choose a circle but not tell the rest of the Primary what the action is, they just have to demonstrate it during the song!
2. New Song: I'll Walk With You (140) - sing twice
• Invite the children to walk in place for the first section "I'll walk with you". 
• For the next section, "If you don't talk" have the children turn and face their partner.
• "Jesus walked away from none" invite everyone to turn and face me and follow my simple hand actions/signs.
• At the end when they hear "I'll walk with you" they can again walk in place until the end of the song.
3. Review Song: Seek the Lord Early (108) - sing 3 times
• Movement activity: swing arms left (I'll seek), then right (the Lord early), then in a circle (while in my youth) for each phrase. 
• Use Ooo and Sing sticks
4. Action Song: Oh What Do You Do in the Summertime? (245) - sing once
