We will sing 4-6 songs. Sometimes the songs will be chosen from the songs we sang that day, sometimes they will be the few that we picked to sing all year long with the Nursery so they are somewhat familiar with some of the songs we have been learning. This has worked out SOOO well. They are so familiar with what we do during singing time. One of our big goals is that they will learn how to follow our actions and movements, so that when they are with us for the full 20 minutes they know how to watch us and follow us and in turn keep their attention.

Here are my tried and true tips/tricks based upon my past experience, CFM, Preach My Gospel, and also using my teaching strategies/philosophies that I also use in my day job.
