Singing Time

We had a great singing time a week ago. We played "Compete for the Gold". It was a combined event, where the kids had to sing 3 songs and they were scored 1-10 on how well they did. I had the Priests come in to judge. The kids did amazingly well, of course the prizes were treats so that really helped. A jelly bean for bronze, a gummy worm for Silver, and a fun size candy bar for Gold. Two of the songs we had just learned and then we threw in a ringer of "I Am A Child of God". What was great was everyone was singing - this rarely happens, so I was very excited.
This week our primary split into Junior and Senior so we have two small groups. We were learning "Follow The Prophet". For Junior we marched around the room and out the door while learning the chorus and I was holding a poster of President Monson. They did really well, and at the end of primary both groups met for closing exercises and we were singing the song one last time, when we got to the chorus I asked them to stand up and march. Jared Fonger figured that meant out the door, and he headed out and down the hall. No one could understand why he took off, but I'm sure he was just "Following the Prophet" haha!
I am really enjoying my calling! Can't wait for next week!
