Paper Chain Song Countdown

I wanted to give the children a little reminder of the songs we are singing in Sacrament Meeting next Sunday, so made a paper chain to help them countdown the days, and practice at the same time. I am attaching 7 strips of paper to a note that reads:

Make a paper chain, alternating red and green strips. Every night, take off one chain and practice one of the songs we will sing in Sacrament Meeting next Sunday, Dec. 12th.
Red = Away in a Manger (CS 42)
Green = Mary’s Lullaby (CS 44)

I may do this again next year the week before the big Primary program, using a different color link for each song they will be singing!

Reminder Handout

Our primary is singing "I Know that My Savior Loves Me" in Sacrament Meeting on the 21st. In order to inform parents, and to remind the children to practice at home with their CD's, I made a hand hand-out. You can download a blank one here. To add the ribbon, cut 2 slits low on the pointer finger with an exacto knife, slide ribbon or yarn through, and tie.
