Plan of Salvation

"I Will Follow God's Plan," p. 164, explains the Plan of Salvation so well  and simply.
Prepare for the following activity by:

• Read through the words 
• Come up with questions that are answered in the song. Examples:
• What is a gift? Who gave it to us (my life, Heavenly Father)
• What are 3 things our life has? (a plan, a purpose)
• What was our choice? (to come to earth)
• What are some things we can do to follow God's plan? (work, pray, walk in His way)
• Write the questions on pieces of paper, fold them and put them in a container for the children to choose from.

As you begin singing time, explain to the children that this songs answers many questions about the Plan of Salvation.  In the container are questions that must be answered by using the words from the song for answers.  Have one child choose a question.  Sing the song.  Ask the children what the answer is using a word or phrase from the song.  Continue until all questions have been asked.

I Will Follow God's Plan - Review

You can make this poster or use the just the pictures and words to teach or review "I Will Follow God's Plan."   Once I have used this poster a couple of weeks, I make just the pictures and word strips and put them in a bag or box (preferably a cute bag or box) and ask a child to draw one of the pictures or words.  There are 17 "prompts," so you may want to draw 2 or 3 at a time.  Write the numbers 1 - 17 on the board and see if the children can figure out where the pictures or words belong.  This will require singing the song several times.  The children will be listening for the words so it is a great way to review this song.
You can also leave out a few prompts as time permits.

Note: Sing the songs at the tempo marked.  If you sing to fast the little ones can't sing the words fast enough and too slow looses interest and meaning.
