Behold the Great Redeemer Die

I am now the primary chorister.  I will have to admit it is my second favorite calling (I ask my Primary President regularly if Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam teacher).  This year for the Primary program we are going to learn Behold the Great Redeemer Die (Click here to listen to it).  I feel this song is a little morbid or graphic for little kids.  I am not going to teach it all to my Primary.  I am only going to teach verses 1 & 6.  I did however make visual aids for the whole song so you can pick and choose what to teach.  I also haven't decided if I am going to have the girls sing the 3rd lines alone or if I am going to have the boys sing with them since the boys sing as high as the girls.  I made the visual aids so you can do it either way.

Summer Value Projects

I wanted something cute for the girls to encourage them to use their free time this summer to get their 10 hour projects done. Here is a link to the reading chart I am going to encourage them to use:  3 month Book of Mormon reading schedule.

May the 4th be with You

For our May 4th mutual activity we are going to do a star wars themed evening with the Young Men.  The YM wanted to do a Stars Wars themed dance this year and we talked them into a Disney dance instead (that we are wearing costumes too and most of the boys will come as Star Wars characters) so we thought it would be sweet of us since we are in charge of the joint activity on May 4th to be considerate of their likes and dislikes (since they didn't insist we come to a dance as Jedi) and do something they will enjoy.  We are just going to have fun.  We are going to play bingo (bingo card at bottom of page!).  We are going to play Jedi or General Authority with quotes from Star Wars and General Conferences (like Princess or Prophet).  I just searched Pinterest and used these images to make my game.  There are 3 who don't say who they are quoting.  The first 2 are Han Solo and the 3rd one is Boyd K Packer.

We are going to play some games.  Storm Trooper Knock-Out, Death Star Bean Bag Toss, Balloon Toss with Light Sabers (we are going to use paper towel rolls for light sabers to save some $), Nerf a Storm Trooper, and Don't Drop the Storm Trooper ( I can't get their link to work).  

For refreshment we are going to have Star Wars Trail Mix.  With pretzel Light Sabers, mini marshmallow Storm Troopers, stars, and fruit snacks.
