To Think About Jesus

This song has gone through my head for my entire life! It is one I learned in Primary and have called on during certain experiences. It is truly powerful and brought the Spirit to our Primary the first time we sang it.

One night I was unable to sleep and thinking about how to teach this song effectively. I had this corny idea to make a poster with a child sitting reverently hooked to a Slinky or spring. Isn't that how our Primary Children are? Trying so hard to be reverent, but the wiggles get the best of them sometimes:) I called her "Rowdy Robin" and asked the children to help me sing reverently and turn her into "Reverent Robin". I asked the children if they ever felt like her? And that it "shouldn't be hard to sit very still", right? And "think about Jesus His cross on the hill (pointing to the pictures), etc.

She definitely got some giggles, but kept thier attention and the song was learned very quickly!
