teaching the 2nd verse "I Lived In Heaven"

JUNIOR:
Choose two children to come up and put the pictures in order while they listen you sing the words. I’ll keep singing and I’ll give them 1 minute to get the pictures in the right order. If they don’t get the pictures in the right order in 1 minute then we’ll stop and choose two more children to come and put them in the right order while they listen to me sing the song. And so on...

After getting the pictures in the right order explain the pictures and what some of the bigger words mean.

Then have the children sing it with you adding the hand motion clues. This helps them remember the words better. And whenever you can keep their hands doing something it seems to hold their attention more.
“love”- put hands crossed over heart
“give”- hands out forward from heart
“above”-point up
“Jesus” sign for Jesus (touching both palms)
“Father” sign for Father in Heaven (right palm upwards towards Heaven)

{I tried to do things that had to do with snow since it's January. Because we live in Arizona and the children aren't terribly familiar with snow, we talked about how in lots of other places they are getting snow right now and how we just have to pretend.}

Snowball(a white mesh sponge...I picked one up a the Target dollar spot) - Stop the music, look at a child, say their name and throw the snowball to them to give you the next word. If they can’t give the next word have them throw it back to you. Remember to thank the children who are being reverent during this activity.

Singing Meter- Use Skier Steve to meter the song as they sing it one more time.

Sing "Once There Was A Snowman" {249} with the visual.

SENIOR:
Have the teachers read cards that you have prepared with “real lines” and “pretend lines” to the song. Use the snowball to choose children to give the correct answer. Look at a child, say their name and throw the snowball to them. Remember to thank the children who are being reverent during this activity. After playing this game, do all of the other things just like Junior Primary.
