OK, I can't think of a catchy title for this review activity, so I called it Bean Bag Toss Review. I use a small stuffed animal instead of a bean bag, but use whatever you have and if you think of a good name, please share! This is half of a poster board covered with 6"x6" colored card stock squares. On each square is a picture that indicates a song OR a verse of a song. The board is placed on the floor and a child is chosen to toss the bean bag onto the poster. Wherever the bean bag lands is the song (or verse) you sing. NOTE: If it lands on two pictures, choose the one you haven't sung yet. With a stuffed animal, choose the picture that's under the animal's head. Since we are ready to review "As a Child of God" I used pictures that represent the different verses. 1st Verse: earth, CTR, family 2nd Verse: happy, family, love 3rd Verse: home, serve, family Chorus: Christ with children In order to choose the helper to throw the 'bean bag' I'll ask a question that applies the topic of the verse we just sang. (For the first song I'll start with the 1st Verse question.) 1st Verse: What good choice did you make this week that blessed your family? 2nd Verse: How do you help your family feel safe and happy? Or peaceful? 3rd Verse: How do you serve your family? When the 'bean bag' has been tossed I'll ask "Which part of the song talks about ______? Can you sing it?" I expect kids to start singing that part. Then I'll say "Great! Let's all sing it together!" I also included pictures for other songs so we can break it up a little. And when we are closer to the program I'll make sure there's a picture on the board for each song in the program. Temple: I Love to See the Temple, My Body is a Temple Prophet: Follow the Prophet, Stand for the Right Scriptures: Book of Mormon Stories, Search, Ponder & Pray Laminating this board would make it durable, but then I couldn't change it up for different songs, so I'm undecided on that. I'll use the CTR Rating again to motivate everyone to sing. In Junior Primary I'll have a teacher/leader rate us, in Senior I'll have pairs of kids rate us.

Several printables and ideas to learn about the plants & flowers God creates. I wanted to do something about the life cycles for plants with this file folder game, and really wasn't sure how I was going to add that. I started with the right side first, because I wanted the flowers. So, for the left side I added the life cycle. I used my craft knife and made slits, put 2 layers of Scotch tape on the back of the numbered dirt piles, and slid the tape through the slit. That created a lift-the-flap type design for each cycle. But, as I was doing it, I think if you are unsure about making the slits, you could just cut the dirt numbers out and let the kids learn number order also and just lay the dirt on each plant in order. If you have the kids put the numbers in order, then you can work on numbers, colors, God makes the rain, sun, plants, flowers, people, dirt & grass, etc. This is the finished inside with the rain and sun so you can discuss what the plants need. You can print the FFG here. I also made the lift-the-flap plant life cycle chart. I printed both pages on cardstock, and on the first page, I used my craft knife to make the slits to 'lift the flap'. I bent the flaps, and put glue around all the edges and carefully laid the top piece to the bottom to make the chart. Click here to print the lift-the-flap Plant Life Cycle chart. For a craft, I used the flower pattern from the FFG and printed the patterns on cardstock. I planned to print one pattern and use it to cut flowers out from craft foam, or you could even use felt... but my granddaughter loves to paint, so I decided to let her. Also, letting the younger toddler learn to paint is interesting, so after painting, I used Glitter Glue (or Tim Holtz Distress Stickles) for the sparkle. And, I let them add bee & butterfly stickers to the flowers. I cut them out and we glued them to the large craft sticks and they poked them into the pots with the floral foam I had left over from some other craft project. You can print the pattern for the flowers here. Also, a picture to color.  I also found this at Hobby Lobby to use with this lesson about plant life cycles! I saw it first here and when I went looking for this one, I found the butterfly, frog and ladybug! This blog post was featured here! ☺ And, featured here: Thanks so much for the feature!
