Come Follow Me Singing Time Idea
- 2 pencils
- 2 popsicle/craft sticks
- Maori sticks
Finger tapping together works in a pinch.
Ask the children to “Follow Me!” [tap the rhythm] while the piano plays and you (and the teachers sing the song. Post words like I do HERE.

Tap again and ask how many times we sing the words “follow me” [1]. Tap again and ask them to listen for words that mean:
- walk/step [tread]
- united/alike [be one]
- in the following way [thus]
- to become the father of [begotten]
TIP: It may be helpful to have the definitions written on the board before Primary and then write in the answers as they are defined by the children.


Time Permitting
Time permitting, ask the children to “Follow Me!” again and teach them the 3/4 conducting pattern using their sticks:

Bear Testimony
Bear testimony that if we do what Jesus asks, we can become like Him.

Camille!
You saved my bacon! This was exactly what I was looking to do, I just didn't have it all formulated in my mind yet. It's been a crazy holiday weekend. I appreciate piggy backing off your talents this week! Thank you so much!
Hi Camille,
Are you going to be doing the next verses of "Come Follow Me"? I really love all of your ideas.
Thanks!

Hi Amber!
I won't be teaching any more of the verses, but if you use my review activity, it could also be used to teach more verses instead of reviewing.
