- 1" binder
- approx. 25 protective sleeves
Instructions
- Insert the pictures and corresponding lyrics into the protective sleeves. Store in the 1" binder. I found it worked best when I inserted the pages so that I could hold the binder like a flipchart. When the picture is displayed, the lyrics are facing me so I can read them while the children see the picture. For Senior primary, you can also reverse the way you hold the flipchart so they see the lyrics and not the pictures. Or, another option is to hold the binder flat up & down so that the picture is on top and the lyrics are underneath it - two pages per "flip".
- Teach the song one verse at a time. We called up volunteers to hold the pictures (or words for Senior Primary).
- For Senior Primary, we then had them choose which words to flip around to pictures and sang through the verse several times until they didn't have any words - only pictures to prompt them.
- Since my husband and I teach together, we made two books so he could hold one up to one side of the room and I could hold one for the other. You could also ask a member of the presidency or a teacher (even better I think) to help you with the second flipchart.
- One of our review activities was to "pass" the song back and forth between the sides of the room - which you could do without two flipchart binders.
