Judgement Time

It's review time as we all prepare for our Primary Sacrament Meeting Program.  I like to evaluate what songs the children know well and those that need some refreshing.

• Sing through each song that you plan on singing in the program - remember to sing all verses if possible.
• Rate each of the songs - 1 through 10, 10 being awesome.
• Make written note of each song and what needs work as you review.

I like to engage the children in this activity.

• Make 3 or 4 sets of cards numbering 1 through 10
• Choose 3 or 4 children to "judge" the first song
• after singing the song, each of the "judges" will hold up a card that will show how well they all know the song.
• Make sure the "judges" know that 1 is pretty bad, 5 is okay and 10 is awesome.
• You might want to judge verses separately as sometimes one verse is better than another.
• Choose 3 or 4 different children to "judge" the next song. 
• Continue in this fashion

Next week plan on working on the songs that need the most work.

Be sure to use these songs for opening and closing songs to keep them fresh in the children's minds.
