The Blizzard

Cut out 25 or more snowflakes.  Snowflakes have 6 points.  If you cut circles, fold the circle in half then in thirds, it will be an "authentic" snowflake.  With it folded, snip a few slits on each side, then open it and you have a snowflake.  You will be an expert after you cut out 25.  You can also make square ones, as well.  Choose several songs you would like to review. 

Tell the children that you would like to create a "blizzard" on the board.  As the children sing, you will be watching for super singers, reverent singers, happy singers.  You will give several children a snowflake as they sing.  At the end of the song or verse, ask the children with snowflakes to put theirs up on the board.  By the end of singing time the board will be covered with snowflakes.

This activity keeps the children focused, reverent and singing.  It is best if you can have enough snowflakes for each child to put one on the board, however, this may not be possible if you have a large primary.
