Last Sunday was our Program and the Sunday before was a big practice!
So it's a missionary-theme this month for Sharing Time.
In thinking of how to incorporate missionary work AND singing Thanksgiving songs (so many fun ones), I've come up with a "MISSIONARIES 'ROUND THE TABLE" idea.
There are so many great rounds in the Songbook.
I brought in things to set the table (we used one of the smaller tables in our Primary room): A tablecloth, cloth napkins, cups, plates and forks!
Because the rounds in the Songbook are split into four, we need four missionaries!
I called up a pair of boy elders and girl sisters, with fake nametags to tape on.
After we quickly learned our round, the Primary kids were split up into four groups.
The missionaries each had an index card labeled 1-4, each with an assignment for when their group sings their line:
Unfold everyone's napkins and tuck them into the neck of their shirt, stack all the plates, stack all the cups, and put a fork in everyone's cup. This was all pretty much done at the same time since the groups start singing so soon after one another. Made for chaotic table activity and was so funny!
The Primary kids then had to guess which missionary was their group's assigned missionary and what their action was. They guessed pretty well!
Songs for the Rounds:
For Health and Strength, pg. 21a Songbook (an official round)
For Thy Bounteous Blessings, pg. 21b Songbook (an official round)
A Song of Thanks, pg. 20 (can easily be made into a round, I think)
Beauty Everywhere, pg. 232 (can be made into a round probably!)
A Prayer of Thanksgiving, pg. 93 hymnbook (will make into a round for the older kids)
