July is a great time to reflect on our pioneer heritage. This activity is perfect for reviewing program songs or pioneer songs.
Use a large picture of a covered wagon or handcart (clipart or a picture from the library). Place the picture in the middle of the board. Cut out several stars (your choice of colors). I have a bag of 50 or more stars that I have saved. Tell the children that the pioneers slept under the stars each night. Our goal is to put as many stars in the sky as possible. Each time you sing a song or verse, ask a few children to choose a star and put it up on the board. Choose the songs that need reviewing. If the song needs to be repeated allow more stars on the board.
Activities such as this one keeps the children focused during singing time and as they sing songs more than once.
