0 Re: [primusic] Help! I Will Follow God's Plan

 

I did something similar to what Katrina did but used objects instead.  I think it was:  a little present, a calendar/scheduler, the word purpose, a picture of the heavens (sky), the word choice, pic of home, baby, flashlight, another baby?, plan=scheduler or a map, word=book of mormon, love=heart,  little hammer (work), ball (play), walk (kid that "walked" in place), happy=our wedding pic, home above=point upwards.


I think I first briefly spoke or sang the song while I held up the object and then I chose kids to hold the objects and when we were singing that part that kid was supposed to hold up their piece or do their motion.  They all stood in a line-it was a fairly long line- and did  their part when we sang that part.  You could also review it a couple of times and then have someone sit down but leave their space open (not have the other kids fill it in) and then the kids would have to remember who was there before and what they were holding.  You could continually have children with the objects sit down until the kids got the song down.

Also when singing  the song since learning it, I sometimes do actions to the words--mostly for the younger kids.  I will make my fingers "walk.  I will hold fast to an imaginary rod, open my hands like a Book of Mormon, swing a "bat" for play...etc...

Hope this helps!  The kids really got this song quickly.

I did something very simple with it - I made a few simple pictures - a gift, a cloud (representing heaven), and earth, and a candle (for God's light).  Then we did a few simple ASL signs for the chorus - follow, holding fast, a book for God's word, and the sign for love, work and pray, walk, happy, earth, home above.  The kids picked up on it rather quickly.  We reviewed it today, and even the little ones seemed to remember it.  Good luck!

By the way, I only used the pictures for the first few weeks when we were just starting out.  After that, they kids had it down.

Subject: [primusic] Help! I Will Follow God's Plan

 
So I made the mistake of teaching all three verses of "If I Listen With My Heart" in ASL which took all of January and February. This means that I haven't taught "I Will Follow God's Plan" yet.

At this point I'm a bit panicky. I don't know how to teach this song and I need some help! Anyone have any ideas on how I can teach this song FAST?

Thanks!
