Mother, Tell Me a Story

Mother's Day is only a few weeks away.  One of my favorite songs is "Mother, Tell Me a Story," p 204.  This is especially nice when you can ask a mom to sing the "mother" part.  It promises to be a heart-warming musical number for Sacrament Meeting or a special closing exercise musical number on Mother's Day.

It's easy to teach:

• 1st phrase - show a story book
• 2nd phrase - point up for "heaven" and down for "earth"
• 3rd phrase - show a red heart
• 4th phrase - shut your eyes as if sleeping

Second verse:

• 1st phrase - show a picture of Jesus
• 2nd phrase - show a picture of Jesus with little children
• 3rd phrase - show a picture of a mother and child
• 4th phrase - shut your eyes as if sleeping

Be sure to sing each phrase a few times before going on.
