I Stand All Amazed

To help them understand the words I asked what amazed meant. Then after it was defined we all made an amazed face. It was fun to see. Then we sang the 1st line and I talked about it. Then I asked about confused and we did confused faces. Then I explained what grace and proffer mean and we sang the second line. Then I asked what tremble means and we all trembled and I explained the 3rd line and 4th lines. We sang all four. Then I asked them what they thought was wonderful. Then I explained that what Jesus did was so wonderful that we say that word a lot in this song. As we sang the chorus I had them count how many times we said wonderful. Anyway, it made it fun and explained some of the vocabulary but still conveyed the message of the song. Everyone enjoyed it!

I Stand All Amazed 
Hymn 193

better. This is a wonderful gift.

November ideas

Thanksgiving Primary singing time:  Every November I bring my turkey I drew (and had laminated) and then I write each child's name on a construction paper feather and stick them all around his body in the Primary room.  Then I blindfold a child and they come draw a name off the chart.  All of the kids go crazy as they see the blindfolded child get close to their name.  The child's name who got drawn could either be your helper in the next song or you could sing their favorite song or anything else you could think of!

Here's another Turkey idea:

Program Review Games

Get the bugs out http://basicprimarymusic.blogspot.com/2011/09/get-bugs-out.html 
I did this activity last week and it was a hit.  However, I changed it and taped one bug onto a balloon for each song.  After we sang the song and perfected the problems I chose a child to come swat the balloon with a fly swatter with a pin taped to it.

Exploding cups: http://singingmagic.blogspot.com/2012/05/erupting-cups-singing-time-review-game.html

The pom pom game is my primary kids' favorite game EVER.
Take three identical plastic cups (not see-through) and one pom pom. Put the cups
upside down on the table - the pom pom under one of the cups. Move the cups
around like a magician, trying to make it so the kids don't know where the
pom pom is. When you stop moving the cups, call on one of the kids to guess
which cup is hiding the pom pom. If they guess correctly, the child gets to
choose the next song to sing. If they don't get it, the chorister gets to
choose the song to sing. I use it when we have only a couple of minutes left
or when I need an emergency sub lesson because I've had to call someone last
minute (you can use paper cups from the kitchen and a wad of paper if you're
desperate)

Back to School Singing Time

Back to school signing time:
I brought all of these things in a backpack and they got to draw one out.  We've used it for the last few weeks because we didn't make it through all of the items on the Sunday before school started.
