The Family Is Of God

The Family Is Of God

I'll be using a lot of ideas found HERE to teach this song.

This FLIP CHART.

Also, THIS idea:
Bring "dad" "mom" and "children" items to dress children in with each verse.  Each item will have a key word taped to it.  As we "dress" the kids, we'll learn the song.

HERE are some more ideas (including handbells!)
