I Have a Body

Week 3:  I have been sent to earth to gain a body & be tested.

Here is a DARLING idea for week 3 posted on the "Primary Singing Time Ideas for Leaders" blog.  It incorporates the song "Head, Shoulders, Knees, & Toes".   Here is the link to the post.

Christmas Hats

This is a twist on zoo hats.  I purchased these hats at Michael's for on the cheap!  I also added a felt Santa hat into the mix.

I found these adorable singing cards here.  (Check out the link...there are a tons of them!).

Simply have a child draw a card & help lead the rest of the children in "Do as I'm Doing" Christmas style!  If there's a hat that corresponds to the card chosen, put it on the child's head.

*I made my own card for the snowman hat.  The action was "MELT" like a snowman.  I also used it when singing "Once there was a Snowman".

Zoo Hats

Do you ever feel like you are putting on a three-ringed circus?  I know that there are weeks when I definitely feel like this. When this occurs, I stop what I am doing & pull out my zoo hats.  These hats were purchased at Michael's a few years back, but I have seen them there again recently.

I use my animal cards that I found here.  You could also just make up your own; for example, slither like a snake (sway your body) or swim like a shark (use hands to make a fin).  Use your imagination!

Simply call a child up & have them choose a card.  Put the hat on their head that corresponds to the card & follow the directions while you sing "Do As I am Doing".  SO FUN!!!  Even the older boys & girls love this...although I am sure you'll never get them to admit it!
