So I simply created a printable for it and slightly tweaked it:








If you notice any errors, PLEASE let me know! If you know me, I’m prone to the occasional typo – UGH!
To implement in primary, pass out a hymnbook to each child (if only teaching Jr., omit passing out books) and hang the code on the chalkboard so page one is at the top and the rest of the pages are underneath it (just like I have the 4 images posted above).
Tell the kids this is a code to the song and see if they can figure it out. Sing through the song using the hymnbooks. Give hints as needed, especially for younger children. Maybe point to each shape as each word is sung, etc.
As items are figured out, write the answers in the key with a marker:


ANSWERS:
- SQUARES: words about us (I, my, etc.)
- TRIANGLES: words about the Savior
- HEART: “L” words (lives, living and love)
- CIRCLE: all other words
- CIRCLED SHAPES: rhyming words
- ARROWS (represent why the shapes go up and down): the pitch or notes of the song


Check out my home centered variation HERE.

Thank you so much for the Printable Map. thank so very much
I just had an idea,, that I thought I would share I'm planing on teach ' I know my redeemer live ' with that Map to jr. I have added action to the Square and the heart and circle, as we sing the song I will add the action keeping the kido engaged as the word go in the back door.
Brilliant!
I found your blog last night and I used this idea today. The kids loved it! Thank you so much!!

Hi, Camille!
I LOVE your ideas and am so grateful for the work you put into all of them. It is so helpful! I’m curious about printing the melody map for “I Know That My Redeemer Lives”. I know I am technologically challenged, so I apologize in advance. Can you tell me how to print the map?
Thank you!!
Hi Liesel!
You just print it as normal, there’s nothing special about it. It just prints on 4 pages, then make sure to put them in order when you hang them on the board. I hope that helps.
