I’m going to be switching up my “Name that Primary Song About Love” activity found HERE a bit to correspond to what this sister posted HERE, relating hearts to our new prophet President Nelson who is a heart doctor. I’ll be using all the same songs about love from my activity.
I printed a bunch of blank hearts that you can download below on pink and red card stock, then just hand-wrote these phrases (and page numbers) on each of them just like the sister’s photo:
- I feel my Savior’s love / the love He freely gives me. {p. 74}
- When your heart is filled with love / others will love you. {p. 61}
- If ye have love / One to another {p. 136}
- I love you and you love me / And that’s the way that it’s supposed to be. {p. 263}
- Jesus walked away from none / He gave His love to everyone. {p. 140}
- And I am thankful / Love is spoken here {p. 190}
- And show that He / will guide us with His love {p. 138}
- Be gentle and loving / in deed and in thought {p. 78}
- I’m reverent / for reverence is love {p. 31}
- For the temple is a house of God / a place of love and beauty {p. 95}
- I love to see you / singing so softly {p. 207}
- He loves us, and so you see / we are a happy family {p. 198}
If your not a member of the Primary Music Leaders Facebook group (I’d highly recommend doing so!) here’s her activity:
“I’m combining [Valentine’s Day] with the idea that President Nelson is a heart doctor.
For junior primary, they are going to find hearts located around the primary room and then bring them to the front. I will help them read the lyrics on each heart, and they can guess what song it is from. Then we will sing the songs and place the heart around a picture of President Nelson, since he was surrounded by hearts during his career. 🙂
Senior primary will be a little bit harder. (A matching game) I will emphasize that our new Prophet, was a healer of hearts, and we can be too. On the board will be a bunch of half hearts, and they will have to take turns trying to put the correct ones together. We will sing each song as the hearts are being paired up.”
I think I will pass out handbells to Jr. (and possibly Sr.) then as we sing the song, everyone can ring their bell anytime we sing the word “love” (I’m wishing I had bell charts to all of these songs for Sr. – oh well). I’ll also post the words to all the songs (see how I do that HERE). If you are unfamiliar with a few of these songs, I’d also recommend playing them on CD/phone and have the kids sing along in addition to posting the words. This is a great way to get the kids to sing lots of unfamiliar songs!!
