Pioneers

A favorite pioneer song for children to sing is "Whenever I Think About Pioneers," p. 222.  When the children know all the verses, the duet is very satisfying and fun to sing.  Have the entire primary sing verses 1 and 2, then divide the primary in half for the third verse and have half sing the 1st tune and the other half sing the 2nd tune together. Make sure there are teachers on both sides to help.

You may have to sing the duet several times until it becomes easy to sing. 

• Try having the piano play one part while you sing the other part with the children.
• Ask another person that can hold their part, sing with half of the children and you the other half.
• Switch parts so all the children get a chance to sing both parts.
