Reviewing Is Fun

Primary is once a week and many of the children don't practice/sing the songs outside of primary so reviewing new songs is critical.  I want the children to know the songs so well that they hum or sing them while they are playing or working -- that's when the songs become apart of them.

Pass out the pictures that were used to teach "My Heavenly Father Love Me" to several children.  You could also use words or phrases from both verses printed on a strip of paper along with the pictures.  As you sing the song, ask the children to stand when their phrase or picture is sung.

If time permits, review "I Am a Child of God" by asking the pianist to play one phrase (preferably not in order).  Ask the children to sing that phrase from each verse.
Example: And He has sent me here
               And so my needs are great
               Rich blessings are in store
               His promises are sure

This activity helps the children think about the words and the melody.
