I tried this one last Sunday for the 3rd verse of Praise to the Man. They had to switch chairs every time they sang a word that began with H. They were laughing and having a great time and the best part is they were SINGING. The teachers finally got worn out and a couple of them went to the side. It was great. Thanks so much for the idea. This week I’m going to try it with the Juniors and just have them stand up on an H and then sit down on the next one. We’ll see if it works.

Even though they weren’t “singing” I call it the back door. They heard the song a bunch of times and were concentrating on the words. I am sometimes shocked after an activity like this (and this is one of my favorites!) how well they have learned the song!
Besides, sometimes, it’s nice to just have fun at church!

Today I tried chair hopping with the senior primary for reviewing "The Lord Gave Me a Temple". They had to move one chair to the right everytime we sang a word starting with the letter "m". When they got to the end of the line on one side fo the room they had to run to the other side of the room and start there. They first thought it was going to be a dumb game but then they really got into it and had alot of fun. The only drawback would be they kept concentrating on hearing the "m" words that they forgot to sing. Oh well, they had a great time.
