I had that issue with Scribd. I don't know why. It works for me with other stuff I've downloaded. Even on the same day! 🙂 But would Google Docs work? I'm not a guru, so I'm not sure. But it's an idea. P.S. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas! They are wonderful!
I'm totally stuck on how to teach A Child's Prayer. You always have amazing ideas, so I can't wait to see what you come up with!
You are awesome. (: I was just called and about died of happiness when I found your site! Question – what do you do with your hands during the songs? Are you holding something with the words on, some sort of prop, doing actions, conducting? I always feel a little bit silly with my hands because conducting doesn't seem quite exciting enough for little kids, so I just end up holding a chart with the words on. Just curious about what you do! Thanks!
As far as leading music goes, I kind of do it all. During opening exercises I usually just conduct like normal. During singing time, if it is an action song, I do the actions. If it is a song we are unfamiliar I will sometimes pitch lead. And sometimes I'll point to the pictures hung on the chalkboard as we sing if there are pictures, etc. With the little kids, I do a lot of pitch leading as I feel it's a good visual of the notes for them. I rarely have things in my hands I'm holding but that's just my preference.
I hope that helps!

Thank you so much for this blog. I am a tone deaf, non musical, Primary Chorister who has no idea how to lead music (I love flip charts for that reason). I have been stumbling my way through this calling for the past six months as I just try my best to teach the Gospel through song (best advice one of my friends told me when I was freaking out about this calling). I have a silly nature, so that helps a little, but man, I am really nervous now with the primary program coming up, so I am super happy I found your blog. I am printing off a bunch of ideas and running to the store today! Can't wait to try the wiggle worms tomorrow! Thanks again! ~Sarah Hull
thanks so much! I had an idea if it can help anyone for introducing a Child's Prayer…I made doors with the questions from the 1st vs on the front that open to the coinciding answers and statements from the 2nd vs.
I love it! You should post your visuals to the Facebook group and share with everyone.
