It just makes the day nicer... <BR/><BR/>As for teaching new songs here's my thought. Singing should be a good and positive experience. It takes a lot of time to learn a song! Even if the kids weren't really singing, but paying attention. Give praise! <BR/>**VISUALS!! You can never have too many!! <BR/>**Repetition!! You sing a line, they sing, you sing a line, they sing! I find (especially with JR. Primary) that just saying the words doesn't really do anything. (Yes! I know every primary is different! I just find this the case in the last 3 I've been in)<BR/>**MORE SINGING LESS TALK!! If we really want they kids to learn the song, let's sing... not explain. <BR/><BR/>Random thoughts.

Most of the kids know o...You know what is terrible? Most of the kids know only one of the two songs you suggest throughout the lesson. Our new chorister is trying to teach them new ones along with the program songs...but that can be a challenge at times to not overwhelm them. I've just been shocked at the songs that the kids havent known the last year and a half I've been in this calling. Even the ones I thought were 'standards' that we sang when I taught Primary in your ward years ago. We struggle with it. Aiko and Jacinda get an earful of me singing church songs all day long. Aiko is super cute...she'll just break out into The Wise Man and the Foolish Man when we are out running errands. Too cute.<BR/><BR/>I just have a strong testimony of the hymns and of the childrens songs and want to encourage everyone to learn them. :) <BR/><BR/>They're GREAT!jaacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076580766458927142noreply@blogger.com
