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!)

I Stand All Amazed

The March 2014 program song is I Stand All Amazed (Hymns, #193).

Week 1 - I plan to teach just the chorus and focus on the spiritual aspects of the song.

Week 2 - I plan to teach the verse(s).

Week 3 - will be a review with dynamics.

I'm going to use THIS really cute flip-chart to help with learning the song.


Week 1:

Jr. Lesson:

Mosiah 3:5-8

5)…the Lord…[came] down from heaven…and [went] forth [among] men, working mighty miracles…

“What kind of miracles do you think he did?”

(Read the following, pausing to ask what each thing means:)

“Some of the things it says he did in the scriptures was:”

5 cont.) …healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.

6) And he…cast out devils, or the evil spirits which [were] in the hearts of the children of men.

7) …he…suffer[ed] temptations, and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, [because they would die from the pain]…blood [came] from every pore [in his skin], so great [was] his anguish [because of] the wickedness…of his people.

8) And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning...

“Because he did all of this, because of the atonement and His love for us, it means that we can repent when we do wrong and become clean and good again. That’s one of the big reasons why we love our Savior and are so grateful for Him.”

John 15:13

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

“Do you think it’s pretty WONDERFUL that Jesus Christ did this for us? Would you be willing to suffer so much and even die for your friends or family? He must REALLY love us! Let’s learn a song that will help us tell Him how much we love Him and are grateful for him.”

Learn chorus of “I Stand All Amazed” (Hymns, #193)

Sr. Lesson:

(Basically the same lesson, except have THEM look in the scriptures for the answers and read word for word Mosiah 3:7-8).

Week 2:
I printed the words of the song really big and will have some strips of paper to cover up some of the words as we sing it over and over to make sure they know those words. As we come across any words that might be hard to understand I'll have the Primary help me define them.

"He Sent His Son" Jan. 2014

This is one of my favorite Primary songs so I am very excited to teach it :)

My schedule:
Week 1- Learn
Week 2- Dynamics
Week 3- Games/review

Here is a link that has a step by step lesson plan that might be helpful from SugarDoodle.net.

Week 1 - Learn the song:
I taught this song for fun within the last year or so, so I'm going to use the same clipart I used to teach it back then (it looks like this; although I think I got it from somewhere else originally), but add some scriptures to it. What I did is flip over the corresponding picture so that you couldn't see the art and wrote the scripture reference on the back. This way when we get to that phrase in the song we have to look for the answer in the scriptures and then can flip over the picture and sing the phrase.

The "phrases" flipped over and corresponding scriptures that I chose are:
"He sent his Son, a newborn babe" - John 3:16
"He sent his Son to walk with men on earth, that we may know" - John 13:15
"He sent his Son to die for us" - Luke 24:46
"and rise with living breath" - Mosiah 16:7-8
"Have faith, have hope" - Alma 32:21
"live like his Son, help others on their way" - 3 Ne. 27:21
"What does he ask? Live like his Son." - Moroni 7:48 (to be read at end of song as a testimony)

For Jr. I will probably just read the scriptures and then have them sing the phrase, but for Sr. I will have them look them up and read the scriptures out loud and guess what the next line (or answer) could be about.

Week 2 - Dynamics:
This week we will be reviewing the song by adding dynamics. I may have them practice dynamics by switching between soft/loud and other such dynamics. Then, we will actually apply the dynamics I'd like to have sung at the program presentation. We'll have many months to review this song and these dynamics so I really want to make this song beautiful with that detail.

Week 3: Games/review:
This week I just want to make sure they remember the words of the song by playing games (TBA, maybe groups singing questions vs. answers) to make the review fun. We will only sing through it a couple of times and then will be learning a new song just to build our repertoire. Don't forgot to add the dynamics at least the last time through!
