Last week our primary worked on learning the individual songs for this medley with my lesson plans found HERE. This week we will be focusing on putting the 2 parts together. Now, before you can teach the medley, you (and I recommend an assistant!) need to KNOW this medley by heart! You cannot teach something you do not know. Especially with the 2 moving parts, it’s imperative that the leaders come in at the right times. The kids will follow your lead.
I will be dividing the primary into 2 sections to review the parts using my Practicing Parts activity and visuals found HERE. The activity constantly changes up the 2 groups and I encourage each group to try to be the “best group” for that round. When we actually perform, I will most likely be splitting the room in half down the middle simply depending on where they are sitting.
My assistant (a presidency member) will help me lead – I’ll lead one group while she leads the other. Each of us will post the words to our parts. Find the words to the medley HERE.
Even if the little kids can’t read, the older ones and teachers will be able to follow your leads and will pick up what they can. After singing several times with the words posted, you can gradually take them away as the words are memorized.
