"Come Follow Me" Review

"The 2015 Outline for Sharing Time" on page 15, shows 8 footprints with the phrases printed on them from  the hymn "Come Follow Me."  Make 4 sets (more or less depending on the size of your primary).  Pass them out to the children in the Primary.  (There may not be enough for each child, but that's okay.)  Ask the children to quietly read their footprint. Tell the them that as everyone sings the hymn, when they hear the phrase on their footprint, they are to stand up.  Hopefully all the children holding a footprint will be standing as you finish singing.  Pass the footprints to children who have not had a turn and sing the hymn again following the same pattern.  It is fun to include the leaders and teachers.

You can also do this activity backwards.  Everyone holding a footprint should stand until their phrase is sung.  No one should be left standing at the end of the hymn.  Hopefully you will sing the hymn several times to "seal" the words in the children's mind.
