Here’s what I’ve got planned for January!
See how I use my singing time schedule HERE! Then download an editable and printable version of the below information HERE or use my January 2019 Singing Time Planner found HERE.
Beginning January, the last 5 minutes of our transition time will incorporate singing. It won’t take 10 minutes for all the kids to get to primary and if it does, they can miss it if need be. If your primary won’t be doing this, simply omit the welcome song and opening song.
Transition Time (last 5 minutes of transition period)
- Welcome Song – to be rotated monthly. Check out my list of welcome songs HERE. Each child will be greeted as they enter primary and birthday children will receive their Golden Birthday Ticket (see details HERE).
- Opening Song – we’ll be singing The Books in the New Testament all year using my interactive post HERE. If I find that we KNOW it by the middle of the year and need something new, we may go back to doing Article of Faith songs like I’ve been doing HERE.
After the 2 transition songs we’ll go right into the opening prayer and an Article of Faith or scripture, then on to singing time. If we are limited on time due other factors, the transition songs will simply be omitted and we’ll begin with an opening prayer and scripture/Article of Faith and move right into singing time.
Singing Time (20 minutes)
- Scripture Song – these will consist of the suggested songs for each month (found HERE) that we WON’T be learning for the primary program. I’ll rotate them every other week during the month. A quick discussion could even be brought up by simply asking the kids how the song relates to what they’ve been learning with Come, Follow Me.
- Wiggle Song(s): See my Wiggle Worm Jar HERE. These will be used as needed.
- Lesson Song(s): these will consist of one of the suggested song for each month that we’ve chosen for the program, reviewing the ones we’ve learned for the entire year or something relating to the season or holiday.
I’ve chosen to teach Jesus Once Was a Little Child and will be working on a lesson plan for this month. It it helps, I’ve got a lesson plan for Come Follow Me HERE.
And a lesson plan for A Child’s Prayer HERE if that helps.
You can also check out HERE what I’ve chosen to teach for the year.
So here’s my schedule for January…

I've downloaded the app and it's pretty great. I love the artwork, and that the word lights up. I think I am going to use it in SR primary only though, since a lot of JR Primary can't read yet. How are you thinking of adapting that week (the one where they rate how well they know the songs) for JR Primary?
Also, can't wait to see what you plan for Jesus Once Was a Little Child. I chose it for January.
Hi Blatter,
I'm rarely concerned that the little kids can't read (and usually about have of Jr. primary can ready somewhat, the 6-7 year olds). They love to watch the videos and try to sing along anyway. They also love to scribble on the worksheet as they watch. I've done this for a few years and I've never had a problem.
I hope that answers your question.

I found a way. Some one in the presidency has an iPhone and down load the app. and a song list. She is going to use her Apple TV Box and plug it into the church TV and please the song. I' m sure you are all smart and tech savvy. Just thought I would share.
