Review Cube

The Review Cube is a fun way to review lots of songs. I used fun polka-dotted file folders to cover this box and then taped trimmed page protectors to each surface. That way I can insert and remove images easily. I just have to tape the edge so it doesn't come flying out when the cube is rolled.

To use, simply have a child gently roll it on the floor and sing a song that matches the top image. You can pre-assign songs to the images or you can let the children choose a song that matches the theme of the picture.

The images in this Review Cube are: 

Book of Mormon

Temple

CTR

Joseph Smith

Missionary

Heart

I can match up a variety of songs for each image for example: the temple picture could mean that we sing "I Love to see the Temple" or "My Body is a Temple."

For this year's songs I'll probably use these next 6 images. They are versatile enough to use for a few songs.

 

 

 

Follow the Prophet

My good friend Amy Jo (who was the former Primary Music Leader in our ward for 3 years) made these amazing foam board displays for Follow the Prophet. The kids love to poke their faces through these and be the different prophets.

ADAM

DANIEL

JONAH

CURRENT

I love them because they walk us through the phrases of the verse. Start in the bottom left hand corner and move counter clockwise around to go through the verse.


She used fabric, yarn, paper, photos, craft moss, pictures from the Friend, popsicle sticks and drawings to create these master pieces. I love that she used foam board because they hold up better to all the love they get.

Other Ideas for Follow the Prophet:

• March in place during the chorus. Have the children follow you when you turn to the right, left, back or front.
• Tap a rhythm using fingers, pencils or popsicle sticks. (Counts 1 & 3 or counts 2 & 4)
• Stand every time you sing "follow" or "prophet." 
• When sharing this song in Sacrament Meeting, to keep it from getting too long sing two verses and then the chorus, then two more verses and then the chorus. The pianist should always play the introduction between verses.
