Choose the Right

I like to start learning the hymn for the year as soon as possible so the children have plenty of time to internalize it.  this year it is Choose the Right, #239. Click the links for pictures.

Preparation:

• Make a shield with CTR printed in the middle, (Hopefully you all know that it stands for Choose the Right.)  I used heavy cardstock and made it about about 14 inches tall.
• Picture of a flashlight or light bulb (or you can use the real thing)

Sing the first and hold up the shield every time you sing choose the right or right.

Every time you sing light, hold up the flashlight or light bulb.

Sing it a few times with the children.  

Have two children hold up the two pictures as you sing them.

Chorus

• Use the shield and flashlight/light bulb as you sing the chorus.
• Picture of books with a bookmark - "let wisdom mark the way before"
• Picture of children with Christ - "and God will bless you evermore"

Sing the chorus showing the pictures as you sing.  Invite the children to sing with you.
