Anyway, I'd found a cute idea on a blog that used Choose the Right symbols.
Using her idea of holding up the symbols, I made multiple symbols for the key words in the song "Choose the Right". I will pass out a symbol to each one of the kids (I was able to fit 12 symbols on each page). Every time their word/phrase is said in the song, they will quickly stand and hold up their symbol. If by chance that gets a little rowdy, I will just have them sit and hold up the symbol instead. I am hoping this will break up the monotony as we learn the song but also to help them focus on the words that are being learned.
"Choose the Right"
"Light"
"Heart"
"Wisdom"
Once we've gotten the words down on the song pretty well, I will pull out the football field poster I made (because hey, it's the Super Bowl, and the boys will get a kick out of it). :)
I got the football field idea here.
I have a ref shirt that I will have one of the teachers put on. Each time we sing the song, the ref will move the football up the field, depending on how well the kids sing it. We will keep singing it until we get a touchdown. I did two footballs just in case I decide to break the kids into two teams-the "Army of Helaman Harmonics" and "Moroni's Musettes". :)
