Well, if you are looking for another fun way to review When I Am Baptized you can always use your bells or chimes. Here is a bell chart using the fun rainbow and cloud theme for the song. PREPARATION: There are three pages in the file: one for each verse and the chorus. Print each page out individually into a 4-page poster format in Adobe Reader (you could go 6 or more pages depending on how large you need it for your Primary to see or maybe if you have a very small Primary, one or two pages will do you.) I did mine at 185% for 4 pages per verse/chorus for a total of 12 pages, which I think is a good size for most Primaries. The percentage will vary depending on your printer. Just review the image box in your print dialog box for best size and placement before printing. See the "Preparation" section in this post for a little info on printing a poster format. I didn't select the check boxes for the cut marks or labels on this one since I was able to size it so half of the verse landed on the upper 2 pages and the last 2 lines landed on the bottom 2 pages. Cut the excess edge off of each sheet (only the side where you will need to butt the pages up together), then butt and tape the first two sheets/lines together. Repeat with each 2 lines. I did not tape all 4 lines to each verse/chorus together. This will help make it easier to store. I can just fold each double-page section on the seam and file it away. Here is a list of the bells needed for the song and how many times each bell is played per verse. C (low): 4 D: 1 F: 15 G: 4 A: 8 A#: 7 (B flat) C: 16 You could have a child play both the D & G bells since they aren't played as much. When I Am Baptized—Bell Chart-Nalani
Hello there, here is my second post for the Copic Europe Design team and I've opted for something with a real summery feel. So here is...
Hey friends! More digi fun hit the TGF store Tuesday night with the introduction of the Desktop set. These fun images are perfect for representing all of the ZOOM conferences, online education, homeschooling, home businesses, gaming and just general way of passing the time during these days of isolation and quarantine. And just like all of the other new sets this one can be mixed and matched to really personalize your scenes. My first card is a busy mom trying to have a ZOOM conference while the little ones run around and the dog is begging for a snack. I did this by grabbing the windows from the Front Porch set, the mug, pup and Ian from the Hello From Home set and one of the Ians from the 2020 Boys set.By simply reducing the size on both of the boys they immediately look like little kidlets... ya gotta love that digi versatility! My second card has a lot less going on because apparently Ian was able to lock himself away in his study for a bit of privacy while he studies. His only visitor is his little feline friend from the Hello From Home set. Alrighty, the Desktop set is on sale for a limited time and until tomorrow... stay crafty!

Who doesn't love a rainbow?!! Can you see the rainbow and the raindrops in the melody of this month's song "When I Am Baptized?" Do you notice how the melody for the first two verses are smooth and arch up and over and down again just like a rainbow? Can you just hear the pitter-patter of rain as the chorus jumps up and down with each note? Can you feel the power of the sun when you sing I want to be the best I can with strength and conviction? And let's not forget that fermata. Holding that note out reminds me of the sun's rays shining down or the joyous feeling from being the best I can be. Well, there you have it; my interpretation of the melody. Although I already had a small poster flip chart version of the song I've used for singing with the children in the past, I wanted to come up with something other than a flip chart with this being the focus song for the month. So, in visualizing the melody of this song with rainbows and rain, it just seemed so natural to present this song with a similar visual of the sky. Since this is not a flip chart nor a poster and I've never known if there is a proper name for this type of visual I've used for some of the Primary songs, so for a lack of a better name, I just call it "Visual Imagery". I need things to have names to them. It helps put order in my life. What can I say?! Visual Imagery is basically depicting the song in a visual picture-like format. This is similar to the "Stand for the Right" I posted in February. The file for "When I Am Baptized" is below. So, I hope you like it. I do plan on converting my 11 x 17 poster flip chart into a standard flip chart if that is more up your alley. Hopefully, I will have that posted within the next couple of days. HOW TO PUT TOGETHER Print the file on card stock for some durability (60# or better paper) Print the rainbow page in a poster format onto 4 pages, cut out, butt up the edges and tape together on the backside. See here for how to tips in a previous post. Also print and assemble the sun page in a poster format onto 4 pages like the rainbow. Print the rest of the pages normally on single sheets of card stock. Cut out Laminate for extra durability (optional) Use magnetic tape or self-adhesive magnetic strip on the back or regular ol' magnets to post on the board (although the picture shows me using magnets, I plan on using magnetic tape—didn't have time to adhere the magnetic tape yet when I took the picture) I did make a couple of changes to the visual since the taking of this picture. I outlined in black the yellow text on the 3rd raindrop to help it be a little more visible and I changed out the picture of Enos praying for forgiveness to a girl praying. Since all the pictures I used of children in the raindrops were modern versions, I decided Enos might look a little out of place, so I changed him out for a modern child. Did you notice that all the raindrops are in the order of the colors of the rainbow? Cooool! Huh! PRESENTATION IDEAS Bring a rain stick for an Attention Getter. You can find many ways to make them on the internet if you don't have one. Here are a few sites of different ways you can make rain sticks. Take a look here for one using a mailer tube and nails. Look here for one using a paper towel tube and aluminum foil instead of nails. And here is one using a pvc pipe and skewers. I bought a cute rainbow colored one on Amazon to use when I taught the Noah verse in "Follow the Prophet" knowing there would be other song opportunities to use it. Of course, I didn't feel I could justify buying it just for Primary, so I used the excuse knew that my grandchildren would love playing with it, so of course, that justified was the only reason for adding it to their toy stash for when they come and visit, of course, it just so happens to make it very handy to borrow it for Primary on occasion. Let the children take turns using the rain stick while the Primary sings. Describe an experience of seeing a beautiful rainbow you saw after a rainstorm and how it made you feel or ask the children if they have seen and or like rainbows. Discuss how fresh and clean everything seems to be after it has rained and how beautiful it is when the sun comes out and reveals a glorious rainbow. Post the rainbow on the board. Ask the children to draw a rainbow with their arm starting at one side of their body and going over their head to the other side in an arch-like motion. Ask the children to show you how to do raindrops with their hands. Ask them to listen to you sing this song to see if they can "hear" a part of the song that sounds like a rainbow that goes up and over and down and to make a rainbow with their arm each time they hear a rainbow in the music. You could also ask them how many times they hear the rainbow. [2] Ask them to also listen for the part of the song that sounds like raindrops and to make raindrop actions when they hear that part. As you teach each part of the song: Post the corresponding visual Ask discovery questions about the song for the children to listen to for the answers Use actions for each part of the song. Ask the children for ideas on doing the actions. Here is a list of possible actions for the first verse. look for rainbows: make binoculars with your hands or your hand above the eyes as if you are searching for something rain: use your hands and wiggle your fingers to make raindrops ponder: tap a finger to the side of your temple while resting the elbow in the palm of the other hand in a thinking gesture beauty: ASL sign for beauty (the palm of the hand encircles the face and then close the hand into a loose fist, click here for video clip) earth: with arms, make a big circle above the head rain: use your hands and wiggle your fingers to make raindrops best: do a #1 with your finger or do a "power" action like flexing your arms with punch or pop up with the fists (hope I explained that well enough) live: ASL sign for live (make the "L" ASL letter with both hands and draw your hands up the torso, click here for video clip) God: point to heaven or use the ASL sign for God (the hand is raised towards heaven and then drawn downward toward the face, click here for video clip) After teaching the song, you could start removing the parts of the song to help them memorize it. Have a child turn to the back of the room so they can't see the board and have another child remove one of the visuals and then have the first child turn around to see if they know which one was removed by saying that part of the phrase (for JR, they may just remember the picture and give that for their answer). Sing the song or just sing to that part of the phrase to see if the one child got the answer correct. After they know the song better, mix up the visuals and have the children put the song in order. Do a variation on pitch leading with the children by having them, of course, using their arm for the rainbow parts by making one rainbow starting on your left side with your left arm (so it is their right when they mirror you) and moving your arm in an arch up and over to your right side for the first phrase and then returning your arm in the rainbow fashion back to the starting position for the 2nd phrase. Then flick your fingers on the chorus part for the raindrops (like you are flicking water). One way you could do this is have the left hand flick on the high notes and the right hand flick on the low notes. The children will mirror you. For example: 2 flicks with left hand for "I want" 2 flicks with right hand for "my life" 2 flicks with left hand for "to be" 2 flicks with right hand for "as clean" 6 flicks with left hand for "as earth right after rain" lowering the hand a notch each time as the notes descend. 2 flicks with the left hand for "I want 2 flicks with the right hand for "to be" 2 flicks with the left hand for "the best" 2 flicks with both hands for "I can" and during the fermata, keep the fingers open and move each hand out and upward as if you are making a world shape above your head. 6 flicks with both hands flicking higher on the second flick than the first flick and lowering a notch each time as the notes descend. Sing the first half of the song legato and sway the arms back and forth in a flowing manner and then sing the chorus staccato while swinging the arms in staccato fashion or you could clap. Use ribbon wands to help teach the melody. I will post later on how to make these. Oh goodness, there are so many fun ways to teach this song. I'll will try and find time to post some other ideas later. Hope these ideas help to get you excited for teaching this song. When I Am Baptized-Viz-Nalani
Hello again! Sneak peek week at Stamping Bella is wrapping up today which means that we are only one sleep away from release day, woohoo! If you haven't been checking out all the gorgeous preview cards from my fellow Bellas you really need to head over to the Bellariffic Blog and leave comments on each post for a chance to win a $25 gift to the store. But hurry because comments close today! In the meantime I've got two more Tiny Townie cards to share that will take you back to those carefree childhood days. First up is a card featuring the new Tiny Townies Hair Play. These two besties are having a bit of a spa day as they take turns doing each other's hair. Right away I saw these two in a very girly girl type bedroom, reading teeny bopper magazines and chit chatting about all the latest goings on. I don't know if they have anywhere special to go once they get all dolled up or if they are just enjoying feeling good by looking good. :) And my final preview card features the Tiny Townie Hula Hoopers. Personally I can relate to the little gal in the middle because I could never quite master the art of hula hooping. But I think with the help of her friends she will persevere until that hoop is spinning circles around her waist. :) Ok, time for me to scoot. Enjoy the rest of your weekend everybody!
