2 months ago I found a new tool to put in my "learning a song toolbox." So now I:
1. Use recordings to help teach the melody part of a new song. See the post just below this one. 2. Use paper activities to help teach the words of a new song. I pass these out before Church and after Primary. Today we sang My Own Sacred Grove for the 1st time in Primary and the children who have been doing our paper activities for the past few weeks pretty much had the words down. Since it was our first time, we did sing with a recording that has other people singing, but these children knew what they were singing as far as words, and also the melody to some degree because they listened to the song to prepare for The Bishop's Challenge in January. So today we could focus on the message. Here are the paper activities that I have sent home:
Talked Ran Answer Communed (Praise to the man who TALKED with Jehovah!) Talked Ran For all of the activities I include the words to the songs to help them with the activity. These activities aren't fancy, but they have been super easy and super effective!

Do you have the kids bring back the paper activities?

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.
Most are simple directed listening (Focused Attention) based for easy memorization and then also focusing in on topics for internalization of the Gospel messages. Lot's of my different ideas on a few pages :) Archives
