Samuel the Lamanite

 Hello, everyone. Today I teach Samuel the Lamanite's verse of Book of Mormon Stories, attempt to teach your kids to play the piano (embrace the beautiful noise), and then teach Samuel Tells of the Baby Jesus. I don't know how I fit it all into 15 minutes. 

 Here's a tip for the piano. Have a family rule that only fingers are allowed to play the piano. If you don't have a piano or toy or piano app, you can place five stuffed animals or cars, or anything, in a row and get family members to make the different pitches as if the toys are the piano keys. If you have enough family members, you can line up, each picking a note to sing and someone can tap your heads as if playing the piano. Kind of like The Sound of Music.

 I would love to know how this works. 

Today's list of songs:

The Church p. 77

The Fishy Song, finger play

Book of Mormon Stories p. 118

Jesus loves the little children p. 59

Beautiful Savior

 Hello, Friends. Today I wanted to teach you how to sing Beautiful Savior. It's a very beautiful song. I teach all three verses kind of quickly, so I made a coloring page to go with it. You can color it any way you like or even make it in to a puzzle like I did. I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do.

  Thank you children and parents for all your hard work getting pictures and videos in to us for the primary program. We'll have that ready real soon.

song credit: I used a video from Youtube to accompany me on The Miracle. It was from Matt Wiseman who added lyrics to a piano accompaniment that he probably found from Jouie Llanto, just to give credit where credit is due.

Behold Your Little Ones vs 2 and program songs

The blog is fixed. There are now links to all the song accompaniments or a video of me singing with my ukulele.

(Also, I am like a Star has been restored to the singing time. I just can't end without it, haha!!)

This is my 20th video. I can't believe it. 

Today's video(s) are a little different. You have choices.

The primary presidency is collecting all of the songs you want to sing for us, all the testimonies you want to bear for us, all the pictures you want to draw for us, and all the things you learned this year. Taking a video might feel kind of tricky, but please try. We want to hear all of your voices and testimonies in the video we're going to compile. We can't have a primary program this year, but maybe we can still see each other and feel the Spirit in a video. 

So the choices this week are to: pick a song to sing and record yourselves (send it to jenkinssings@gmail.com (or put it on a drive in the cloud and send me a link)),

And/or learn the 2nd verse of Behold Your Little Ones,

And/or learn the harmony part to Behold Your Little Ones.

You can sing a capella (without background music) or you can sing to the mp3 files in these links. Or, mom, dad or older sibling can play an instrument. I'm also not opposed to you singing a different song, especially if it's your favorite.

or

Sing as many as you would like, just send them separately so they're small. Don't worry about editing the beginning or end. I can do that when I compile them. Don't worry about making too many mistakes. It always takes me a few tries to get a decent take, but don't over extend yourself. We'll just be happy to hear you. Warning- this may take two devices, sorry. One to play the music and one to record, if you decide to do it that way. Don't worry about sending it in a week or so later than Sept 15. Let's just blame everything on the wind and school. 😋
