HOW TO PLAY:
Ask the kids to count all the words that end in “ly” [10] as you sing. Have them hold up their fingers to show their answer. Repeat the song to check answers. You make a guess as well...It’s always fun if you’re wrong on purpose and have them correct you ;).
Add the words up on the board. Ask the kids:
What do we do lovingly? [think of thee]
What do we do softly? [sing our melody]
What do we do humbly? [pray]
(To humbly pray is to be ready to repent and obey Heavenly Father)
What do we want to be with us in our hearts? [Holy Spirit]
Take answers to one question at a time, singing to that point in the song, check answers, then add the picture under the words on the board. Then go to the next question and do the same. Repeat until you've added all the pictures. Then repeat the song again as you point to the words and pictures (or let a child come up and point as everyone sings).
Display the bigger patterns on the board (8.5x11 or 12x18). Trace your finger along the shapes as everyone sings. Invite kids to come up and trace as everyone sings.
OR, pass out the smaller song map cards to the kids and let them trace in their seats as they sing.
1. Display maps on the board. Ask the kids if they can figure out why some of the circles are "squished." Sing the song as pointing. (Each dot is a note of the melody).
Add in colors to make it easier or keep all gray for more of a challenge. If you add in colors, ask the kids to figure out which colors go with which words during the song repetitions.
2. Take the kids answers about the squished circles (answer = goes to each "-ly" word).
Repeat singing but the kids only sing sing the "ly" ' s and you sing the rest. Repeat and switch - the kids sing all the words except the "ly" parts.
3. Play other games with the melody maps:
Mix Up Order and let kids put back in order
Add actions to certain colored words and have the kids sing those in their heads while doing the actions and vice versa.
Place all the pictures face down on the board. Let kids come up as singing and flip over to see if they find a match.
Talk briefly about the things in the picture (these are quietly things and how the Spirit is quiet...to hear the Spirit we music be still and listen....etc).
7. WORD GAMES
WHAT YOU NEED:
Song Word Strips
HOW TO USE: (Picture/Word Match)
Put the words up on the board. Let students come up and choose a picture as everyone sings and try to match it with the correct word. (For Jr's who can't read, have them choose pictures in the order of the song).
HOW TO PLAY: (This or That) - for Sr. Primary
Display words on the board in sets of two, with one right word and one wrong word. Let kids choose this or that for each of the main words and place in a line on the board horizontally. Sing through the song to check if right. Fix if not and sing again as pointing to each word.
EXAMPLE:
Reverently Gladly Sadly Humbly
Softly Quietly Lovingly Sweetly
etc.
HOW TO PLAY: (Mix Up) - for Sr. Primary
Mix up all the words (as in the picture above) and call on kids to come up one at a time as everyone sings and pick a word and place in the correct order. Repeat and check as singing.
Add a challenge: Repeat and see how fast the kids can get the words put in the right order. Challenge them to do it faster each time.
