Valentine Singing Time

Children love holidays, as do I.  Valentine's Day is this week so hearts will be the theme for this week's singing time.  Cut out several hearts out of red, pink, white, purple paper.  They need to be about as big as your hand.  I will be using about 25 hearts.  On the back of some of the hearts (8 to10), write one phrase from a song that you are learning.  You could use phrases from "I Am a Child of God," "My Heavenly Father Loves Me," or any other favorite song.

On the board, tape all the hearts in the shape of one big heart.  Make sure the blank hearts are mixed in with the ones with phrases.  In the middle, place a large picture of Jesus (there are many to choose from).  Have one child pick a heart.  If it has a phrase on it, figure out which song and verse it comes from.  Sing the song/verse.  If they choose a blank heart, they need to tell how they can show love to Jesus (or family members, teachers, etc., all of which show our love for Jesus).  Continue as time permits.
