All Things Bright and Beautiful

There are several songs in the Primary Songbook that are about the creation.

"All Things Bright and Beautiful," p. 231, has some great lyrics about many things that God has created.  The chorus is at the beginning but can easily be sung at the end, also.

The verses can be easily illustrated by drawing the pictures on the board or finding pictures to go with each verse.  During the week call a few children and give them an assignment to bring a picture that will go with the various verses:

• one child could bring a picture of  flower
• another could bring a picture of a bird
• etc.

There could be could be 13 pictures to illustrate all 4 verses.  Some children will be quite happy to receive an assignment.  Be sure to talk with parents, too, and send a reminder on Saturday.  With e-mails, assignments like this can be simple.

Make sure that each phrase is repeated several times so the children learn the melody.
