Watermelon Review

As we gear up for our annual primary program, there is no such thing as too much review.  However, it can become very boring!  Our job is to put pizazz into review so no one knows that we are reviewing.

Cut several 1 inch rings out of green paper (you could color them using white paper if you would prefer).  Cut circles out of red paper big enough to fit into the green rings.  Glue the ring to the red circle.  Allow to dry.  This is now a slice of watermelon.  You could add a few black seeds to create a realistic look.  Cut the circle into wedges - I like 6 to 8 pieces.  The more wedges you have the more reviewing you can do.  On the back of each wedge write the name of each song you need to review.  I put the title of each song on 3 wedges to ensure that we sing the songs several times.

Put the the wedges on the board in circles - 3 or 4 circles (slices of watermelon).  Draw a large plate at the bottom of the board.  Have children choose a wedge from the slices and place them on the serving plate.  Try to fill the entire plate by choosing all the wedges.  Sing the song on the back each time a wedge is placed on the plate.  Try not to waste too much time in the choosing process - the goal is to sing, sing, sing!
