Opening Exercises (10:45am)


Junior Primary (11:00-11:20), 
  1. Action Song: Give Said the Little Stream (236) - stand on words that begin with "S", clap on words that begin with "G". 
  2. Review Program Songs:
    • I Will Follow God's Plan (164) - the purpose of a plan is to help us finish something or get somewhere. The purpose of God's plan is for us "to be happy on earth, and in our home above" (sing this phrase), or in heaven. We are going to help one of the children in our Primary get somewhere today as we practice our song, I Will Follow God's Plan; they will have to follow your directions! We are going to hide this CTR Bear while one of you are out in the hallway. When they come back in we are going to start singing, the closer they get to finding the bear, we are going to stand up, the farther they are from the bear, we are going to sit down. We will give them directions by whether we are standing or sitting! We will do this 3 times. 
    • If I Listen with My Heart (Outline) - Think about what you would have done if you "had been a little child when Jesus lived on earth" (sing this phrase)? Would you "have liked to walk with him and listen to his words?" Ask the children to share their thoughts, include teachers. We weren't there, but we can find stories of Jesus in the scriptures, and we can imagine what it would have been like "to walk with Him and listen to His words". "But as I search the scriptures I can hear his words of peace." Words of peace - repeat that with me. Let me share some of my favorite words of peace from Jesus with you: John 14:27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Sing the song with me, melody lead.
Senior Primary (12:05-12:25) 
  1. Action Song: Give Said the Little Stream (236) - using the rhythm sticks, keep the beat. Layer difficulty: stand on words that begin with "G", stomp on words that begin with "S", etc.
  2. Review Program Songs:
    • I Will Follow God's Plan (164) - have the song written on the blackboard with key words (or words the children don't know as well) omitted. Have those words written on strips of paper around the room. Sing the song through once without any of the missing words. Next, sing the song again, this time inviting a child to find the first 2 missing words. Repeat until the song is complete again. 
    • If I Listen with My Heart (Outline) - Think about what you would have done if you "had been a little child when Jesus lived on earth" (sing this phrase)? Would you "have liked to walk with him and listen to his words?" Ask the children to share their thoughts, include teachers. We weren't there, but we can find stories of Jesus in the scriptures, and we can imagine what it would have been like "to walk with Him and listen to His words". "But as I search the scriptures I can hear his words of peace." Words of peace - repeat that with me. Let me share some of my favorite words of peace from Jesus with you: John 14:27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Sing the song with me, melody lead. If time, sing the next verses to assess knowledge.
