PRIMARY SUNDAY SUGGESTIONS
MARCH 15, 2020
FROM MISTY JOHNSON

Hello Primary Parents!

We hope you are all doing well during this crazy time. As you know, Bishop Hayes sent an email earlier this week letting us know that church leaders have temporarily suspended church meetings due to the outbreak of COVID-19. In case you may need some inspiration of an activity to do with your children tomorrow, our very thoughtful Primary chorister, Misty, wanted us to pass along some ideas and tools for you to have some singing time at home. Please see below for her suggestions, and as always feel free to reach out to us if you have questions or concerns:

The songs we’ve been learning in Primary so far this year are:

I Feel My Savior’s Love (Children’s Songbook #74) – 1st and 2nd verses (they might ask you to do the scarves or actions with them)
The Iron Rod (Hymn #274) – 1st verse only
I Know that My Redeemer Lives (Hymn #136) – 1st verse only (just started learning this song so it will be new for most everyone)

This week’s Come, Follow Me lesson for Primary can be found here: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/come-follow-me-for-primary-book-of-mormon-2020/10?lang=eng Please try to draw connections between the songs and the principles of the lesson.

There’s a great app (for Apple only ;P )that the church has that’s called Sing-Along Hymns. The icon is light green with a white music note. I highly recommend downloading it.

Below are links for videos for the kids to sing along to. I’ve included Karaoke versions for kids who can read, as it cues the next word and has no accompanying voices to help them concentrate) and songs with lyrics and voices.

Karaoke versions (music and cued words, no voices)
