The 1st page is a layout design for a standard 22" x 28" posterboard.

The next pages are the pictures, sized to the correct dimensions.

So, you simply print out the design and pictures, follow the design and create your own poster visual.

We suggest printing your pictures on cardstock and applying with a spray adhesive glue.

Easy as that!

And tell me if it doesn't save you a ton of time on the visuals for your calling.

Apostles and Prophets

I created a simple matching game for the quorum of the twelve, and the first presidency.

My intention was for younger children, therefore giving the apostles 1st name as a clue, with the last name being a fill in the blank.

I figured it could be a good review before Conference - to see how many of the apostles they can name.

Doesn't have to do much with singing...but perhaps FHE, or something...

Duets

I use these visuals for when we split boys/girls on "Love is Spoken Here".
Could be used for many purposes.
I'm sure you have the same problem we do - the younger kids often get confused which conductor to follow.

Follow the Prophet

At some point this month, since we are discussing

"Prophets teach me how to strengthen my family"

you might want these.

I think my junior primary especially will love having a turn to hold up the prophet as we sing, "Follow the Prophet". I plan on mounting them on sturdy paper, and writing their name a little larger so all can see it from the back of the room, and attaching a popsicle stick.

It could be fun to also have these all in a bag, and to pull 1 out at a time and sing the verse about that specific prophet!

Organization

Question: Where do you keep your visuals?

Home?

Church?

What do you do when Saturday night someone calls and asks,

"Can we also sing _____ tomorrow?"

You wonder..."Do I have that visual? "

Happens to me ALL...THE...TIME.

So, I created a quick little spreadsheet.
(It is in excel - so you must have excel for it to open on your computer)

It helps me so much.

Now I don't frantically search through boxes hoping I don't re-create a previous singing leaders hardwork!

ENJOY!

Hope it helps someone else as much as it helped me to get ORGANIZED!

My posters are in a different location than the old singing leaders flipcharts. And, just imagine if when you were called as the singing leader, someone handed you this spreadsheet completely filled out! Whewf! What a time saver that would be!

Dice

I was at "Family Dollar" today.

They had some big foam dice.

2 for $1.

{I love all a dollar}

I've been using a homemade paper dice for my dice game.

It worked fine, but it gets crunched sometimes.

I was excited for this alternative.

I plan to put fun ways to sing on one of the dice:

Girls Only, Boys Only, Teachers Only, Stand Up

Slow, Super Fast, Hum, Close Eyes, Clap, Hop, etc.

Then, on the other dice, I am going to do theme songs:

Below are my clipart / clues for our songs. The dice only had 6 sides (obviously), so I picked the 6 we needed to practice most. And, I just taped them on the dice for temporary, whereas I modge podged on my other dice.

Pioneers & Sabbath Day Holy

I'd really like to talk / sing about the Pioneers this Sunday.

But, I also see the importance of discussing keeping the Sabbath Day Holy.

THEREFORE:

My wonderful primary leader and I are combining efforts for this sharing time.

There was a fun idea on The Crazy Chorister using a pioneer trail.

I think we'll incorporate that idea somehow.

If you have any fun ideas, please post a comment and share!

ADDITIONAL IDEA:

I was able to borrow a couple of pioneer dresses. My primary leader in charge of sharing time and I are going to wear these. To begin sharing time, we will be outside the primary room. Our pianist will begin playing "To Be a Pioneer", and we'll enter and sing the song (with descant for 2nd verse). I think it will be a nice touch, and grab their attention and help us lead right into our sharing time about pioneers. :)

Here is a clipart from the church manual. I colored it, hope others find it useful!

"Be Guided"

Our sharing time was focused on following the promptings of the Holy Ghost to make the right choices. For the singing part of this, I chose to play a fun game.

WHAT YOU NEED:
A small CTR shield (attached at bottom of post).

WHAT YOU DO:
1 child goes out of the room, while one child hides the CTR shield. The rest of the primary are our singers.

We then sang "Baptism" (we needed some review...) and as the 'seeker' would get closer to the hidden CTR we'd sing LOUDER. As they moved away from it, we'd sing QUIETER. The kids loved it. They didn't even notice that we sang "Baptism" at least 10 times through. :) And, I was able to tie it in to the listening to the Holy Ghost - if we listen, we will be guided which choices to make.

Hard Hats

I know many are getting ready for their quarterly primary activity! I know many are basing this around the theme for the year. I've had a lot of requests for my clipart I used on my hardhat. Here it is:

My Eternal Family

I came across Sofia's website which had some very cute ideas for teaching "My Eternal Family".

As sharing time began, I came to the front of the room dressed as a builder with tool belt, and hard hat. I said, "I am a builder." "Do you know what I build?" (children - houses!). "Nope. I don't just build houses, I build - HOMES." "Do you know who I build homes for?" (children - families!). "Not just families, but ETERNAL families."

I then proceeded to pick one child at a time to pick a tool out of my tool belt. We then discussed how each tool helps build an 'eternal family'. Some were a little of a stretch, but it was fun, and got the point across. Some of the tools I included:

1. Scriptures - It's how I feed my eternal family
2. Safety Goggles - Helps us to only watch things that are good, avoid bad things on TV / internet.
3. Sand Paper - Helps me forgive when others make mistakes.
4. Ear plugs - Helps me (us) avoid hearing bad language, gossip, etc.
5. Knee Pad - because I'm always on my knees in prayer for my 'eternal family'.
6. Hard Hat - protects my thoughts to keep them clean.
7. Tape Measure - So I can measure how much we are growing physically AND spiritually.
8. Lip Gloss - Reminds us to speak kind words to one another.
etc.

It was a great way to remind about the good qualities of being an 'eternal family'.

IDEAS FOR FOLLOW-UP WEEKS:

Since I have now introduced the song, I plan on a few fun ways to review / sing it:
1. Let them beat out the rhythmn like they are hammering.
2. My "headband hero" game. (explained on my website - always a good way to review)
3. I will still bring my hardhat each week, and perhaps the class who is singing the best, their teacher will wear the hat during sharing time.
4. Construction signs for singing. "STOP", "GO", "SLOW". The kids love to be incharge of these and be in charge of when we are singing. I thought they were very cute with the builder hat on the volunteer child. (click on image to enlarge, then right click 'save as' and save to your computer and print!).
