I agree. Going first has made a huge difference to how well our primary children learn and know the songs. When I was first called I was lucky if I got 10 minutes.

I usually only work one song a week if we are learning a new song. But I feel like the children are restless and aren't focused more than a few mins. I do start with a wiggle song and then I feel like I have to get right down to business if we are going to accomplish anything. Some weeks are better than others but if I pushed for time I don't like feeling like I am cramming info into the kids.
