Bell Chart - I Will Follow God's Plan

BELL CHART for I WILL FOLLOW GOD’S PLAN in the original key, notes C through high D

I plan on using this in SR for fun and review of the song. The white letters are for the bells with white handles, and the black letters for the bell with a black handle, to further help the children with the visuals of the chart (especially since there are 3 blue colors!). The last page is for reference to know which bells are used in this song. I plan on standing the bells on top of the sheet of paper in place so I can have the correct ones out and the kids can put them back on the right spot too.

I have the 13 note chromatic bell set, but there is one note in this song I don't have (high D) and I'm just going to skip the bell on that one. If you only have the 8 note set you could skip that note and also the Bb (A#).

Below are charts for the 8 note bell set (skipping the Bb’s and high D), 13 note bell set (skipping the high D), 20 note set, and a copy with no color for you to color in with marker or crayon if you’d like. The last one includes all three note index pages for you to use depending on which notes you have.

Happy ringing!

Sing or Dare - Review Activity

I first asked the kids if they had ever played Truth or Dare.  Then I told them that we were going to play SING or DARE!  They were intrigued!  To play I simply walked around and chose reverent and participating children (who were singing) to choose a slip out of the jar (or you can use choosing sticks), and instructions would be followed from there.  I put slips of paper for each SING and each DARE in one jar for kids to pick.  The SINGs would be different ways to sing a song and the whole Primary would sing along.  The DAREs would be done by the one child who picked it.  We just had kids choose things out of the jar until our time was up!

The kids had a blast!  I'll definitely be doing this activity again.

Here is the link for my labels (you can choose to do one jar or two) and SING and DARE slips for Junior and Senior (separately):

There are different ways to present this activity.  Some have done separate envelopes for the SING and DARE slips.  Some have done a poster board with pockets.  You can have all the SING and DARE slips together in a jar or envelope or pocket, or you can separate them out so the kids can choose to pick a SING or a DARE.  Since people have found that a lot of kids seem to like to choose from the DARE, some have made a rule that you can only choose so many DAREs in a row, to make the kids also do some singing!  But others have found that their own kids choose from both categories.  There are many options and ways to do this activity.  Take it and run with it!

Hopefully the layout is not confusing -- I taped sets of two sheets together side by side... If you select "Two Page View" when you open the file you should get what I mean, I hope!

He Sent His Son - Sign Language

Here is a great video for He Sent His Son (34) with some actions and sign language.  Both my senior and junior primarys loved it and did great -- even the little new sunbeams!  I really like it because of its simplicity but also it hits the key words and phrases to help emphasize the meaning of the song.
