Nursery - Singing Time Cards

We have 3 Nursery classes in our ward, so I've thought there was no way I could do singing time in Nursery. Well I finally chatted with the Nursery leader because I would love to have my hands in Nursery music somehow, and we decided I would visit one class each week on a rotation. Anyway, she told me each class has a singing time packet with cute ways to choose songs -- one is a fishing game, another is laminated cards that look like jellybeans, and I forget the other one. From what she knows these are all wiggle songs. So to keep with what the kids are used to I made some cards to supplement their singing time. And I actually made 3 sets so each class can be singing these songs even when I'm not in there. We will take turns choosing from their wiggle pile and my new pile of Gospel related songs.

In case they aren't even using the ones they have, or if they want to do all of my cards or whatever, I also made a wiggle song set. I know there are a few songs that could go either way, but I wanted to make use of the entire sheet I would be printing on. I hate wasting resources! :) I printed all of these on card stock and cut them out to about 3x4 inch cards. After I write the song name on the back of each card I'll laminate them.

There are 12 songs in each set. That is a lot of songs! There are so many great ones to choose from. We obviously won't have time each week to sing all the songs, but hopefully it will be a good and fun rotation, and the children will be getting exposure to these wonderful songs. Also, I did not make a card for I Am a Child of God (2) because my intention is that that will always be the last song we sing together.

Here are links to both sets:
