Songs for 2017 and "I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus"

Here is a list of the songs for the Primary Sacrament Meeting Program for 2017. Many of these songs have been used in the past years which means that the children will know some of them quite well with a little review.  The youngest classes will need the most help in learning them.  It helps to have the order children sit among the younger ones and sing the songs.

This week, focus on I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus, p. 78.

• Begin with the chorus
• sing each phrase 2 or 3 times with the children
• sing the first 2 phrases together
• add the third phrase to the first 2 phrases
• finally add the last phrase
• sing the whole chorus.

If you choose to find a picture to match each phrase.  Try to find pictures that include children doing acts of kindness.
