Scrolling "TV"

I have seen this idea many times and I have never made one, but a previous Primary music leader did and I used it and the kids loved it! I took a picture of the outside and inside and I'll let you figure out how to put it together! Lol!! You can swap out songs by just untaping the ends that are taped to the pvc pipe. Each new song just has to be taped together in order on both sides so that it doesn't catch. The pencil nubs keep the handles from sliding into the box.

Thanksgiving Sing a Story

I found this on Camille's Primary Ideas (she has a lot of great ones!) and I really love it and want to keep it for future reference. It's a story book where the children sing Primary songs to go with each piece of the story of the first Thanksgiving. Really clever. Here's the link to her page: http://www.camillesprimaryideas.com/2012/11/thanksgiving-sing-story.html?m=1

I Believe in Being Honest

I was working on my singing stuff for tomorrow and decided I wanted to do a song to go with the Sharing Time message, which tomorrow is honesty.  I looked up in the index and saw a couple songs I knew but several songs I was not familiar with.  I listened to them and was delighted with a song I've never heard before called "I Believe in Being Honest". It's catchy and easy to sing. So like every good chorister, I started digging around the internet for a flipchart. Ha ha! I only found one! It was adorable but not one I could use with the guidelines from our Stake Primary Leaders (no cartoon stuff unless from lds.org) so I made my own. Since there aren't a lot of choices out there, I thought I'd share!

Beautiful Mother's Day Song

I realize it's a bit late for this year, but I just figured out how to upload documents onto a companion site for my blog, so here is a really beautiful Mother's Day song that we did this year.  My Heavenly Father Loves Me has been my favorite Primary song for years (there are a few new ones getting up there now too).  So when I found this idea on Sugardoodle, I loved it.  I changed a few words, because I felt it was easier to sing and added pictures for a flipchart.  It was perfect.  Several people commented what a beautiful song it was. 
 

Pioneer Children Were Quick To Obey

Our Primary children are singing this in Sacrament Meeting today.  I could only find one partial flipchart besides one that you have to pay to subscribe to the site.  So I made my own and here it is.
 

New!!! Flipcharts!!!

I finally figured out a way to include flipcharts that I make on my blog.  I had to create a seperate google page, but at least it will let me upload them.  I'm including the link here: https://sites.google.com/site/pansiesandpopcorn/flipcharts  As I have time, I will upload my flipcharts to this site.  If  you have any trouble accessing them, let me know.  :)

The Fourth Article of Faith

Like many of you, I chose this song for June because it goes so well.  I found a really great flipchart for this song and I can't find where I got it from!  I wasn't going to do one, because they know it pretty well.  But I notice that the Sr. Primary knew it a lot better than the Jr.  So, I printed one and it has really helped!  I let five kids come up and each hold a part of the song.  The first week I wanted to sing it several times through, so I had each group go tap a new person to come up and hold pages.  Since we're split, we got through everyone in only few rounds!  Here are some other nice charts you can use that are on Sugardoodle.  If I ever find mine again, I'll add it to the post. :)

Love Is Spoken Here

I really like this flipchart by D'net Layton and I was trying to figure out how I could do both verses at the same time when you sing the two together.  I came up with this idea.  I made a reversible double flipchart for each part and then did the ending seperate.  That way three children can help and do the whole verse.  So here's what they look like:

I taped together two sheet protectors and then put the first two sheets on one side, flipped it and put the next two sheets on the back.  The child holding it, just flips it when we get to the bottom.

The Iron Rod Flip Chart

I've made several flip charts for different songs, but I don't know how to put them on here yet.  I did however, submit my first flip chart to Sugardoodle of the song "The Iron Rod".  So you can follow the previous link to get to it. :)
