Mother's Day

This is a great day to sing to sing about Mother's and families in general.  Choose songs that the children will enjoy singing and perhaps even go home singing them.

• Happy Family p. 198
• Mother Dear p. 206
• Love Is Spoken Here p. 190
• The Dearest Name p. 208
• When We're Helping p. 198

Suggest to the children that they find a way to serve their mothers and family.

Families Can Be Together Forever

"Families Can Be Together Forever," p. 188 is the song for July.  This is also the theme for the month.  This song should be a part of all primary repertoire.  A fun way to review is as follows:

• Ask each class to take a turn singing a phrase. (Start with an older class so the younger classes can see the example.)  
• Ask the oldest class to stand and sing: "I have a family here on earth."
• Second class stands quickly and sings: "They are so good to me."
• Continue until you reach the chorus, then everyone sings the chorus together.
• Sing the second verse the same way.
• You could also rotate boys and girls singing each phrase and challenge them to keep continuity - no breaks or stops between phrases.
