Joseph Smith's First Prayer and The First Article of Faith

 Hello, Friends. Today I'm going to teach the second verse of Joseph Smith's First Prayer and as our Special Guests, Skinny and Tesler are going to learn The First Article of Faith with you.

For this verse of Joseph Smith's First Prayer, I'm going to use face expressions and drawings to help teach the meaning of the words. I do draw a few versions of the faces and I hope your child feels like they can draw it any way they want. But I did want to warn the perfectionists out there that if they are trying to copy exactly what I do, you might want to you a pencil with an eraser. I make mistakes and change my mind...I can do that with a dry erase board. I hope it all goes well.

You can use any paper to draw faces on or you can print this worksheet with circles and the lyrics.

The link takes you to my printable for verses 1 and 2. I'll teach verse 1 next week.

Joseph Smith's First Prayer, verses 3 and 4

 Hello everyone! Today's video has a lot of variety. I start with our new opening song, sing some fun songs, sing a song for the Come Follow Me lesson, teach the song of the month, introduce The Living Christ and a song that puts it to music and finally a cutting activity to introduce our new closing song.

For the rest of January, we are going to learn Joseph Smith's First Prayer, Hymn 26. We're going to start backwards, of course. I'll teach verse 4 then 3. Then in the next two weeks, I'll teach 2 and 1. Each verse is important to the song and the story of when Joseph went into a grove of trees to find out how he could repent of his sins and which church to join.

 The Living Christ was written by the prophet and apostles in 2000 and set to music by Cassie Gadd in our stake.

More Fun

I just couldn't stop until I taught a Christmas song. Putting it with my regular singing time would have been too much. If your child(ren) are ready for more singing time and a little paper folding fun, this video is for them. They will need a piece of paper (scrap, construction, lined, etc.) and a pen or pencil or crayons. I also encourage them to use some of the felt friends from the advent calendar to teach The Nativity Song. Watch it anytime.

Thankful

 Today I try to sing about things I'm thankful for. I invited Skinny and Tesler to sing with me. We also try to sing two part songs, harmony and a round.

 I'm thankful for nature (the little stream and the green field), for sunshine and snow, for a Heavenly Father who hears my prayers, for the priesthood in my home, and food on the table.
