Seek meaning in singing songs

Excited for the New Year?!?!  This year's outline is a repeat of the 2013 program.  This is the first time a program/outline has been repeated.  That means that most of the children that are 7 to 11 have learned these songs.  What a great opportunity to review and teach in depth!

The songs suggested to support this month's theme (I Am a Child of God, and He Has a Plan for Me) are as follows:

• Week 1 
• I Am a Child of God, p. 2
• I Know My Father Lives, p. 5
• Week 2 and 3
• I Will Follow God's Plan, p. 164
• Week 4
• Choose the Right, Hymn # 239

Any one of these songs could be used in the Primary Sacrament Meeting this fall.  The more the children sing the songs, the more the songs and meaning become apart of them.

This week try singing all of them and determine which ones need more repetition.  Ask the children about the meaning of each song after they have sung it.  Ask questions that are answered in the song.  This will help you know what you need to explain as they sing for understanding.

I have posts on all of these songs.  If you need more ideas search the tags on the side of the blog for previous posts.
