This week the weather couldn't be more perfect around these parts. I love Fall!
As I was quickly perusing Sugardoodle yesterday in search of something to use for Singing Time, I came across this fun version of an old summer favorite, Oh What Do You Do in the Summertime?
Thinking I had enough time to get a flip chart together from start to finish, figure out how to present in Singing Time, AND gather any and all necessary accompanying visuals/props, I set out to git 'er done. I didn't plan for my 11-year-old's meltdown over lost tithing money, nor the phone call from my hubs letting me know that BYD would be after church at our house.
I didn't quite get it finished in time for church, thus on to Plan B.
Here's the link to the flip chart:
Oh, What Do You Do in the Autumn Time?
I think the kids will like the tune familiarity mingled with new, season-appropriate words.
15 (ish) years ago, as I was serving as a Nursery worker, the sister I worked with taught the kids these seasonally-changed lyrics to Popcorn Popping:
I looked out the window and what did I see?
Snowflakes falling on the evergreen tree.
Winter has brought me such a nice surprise:
Snowflakes falling right before my eyes!
I can take an armful, and make a treat:
A great big snowman, that looks so neat!
Yes, it's really so,
As it seems to be:
Snowflakes falling on the evergreen tree.
(I'm sure there are other versions out there, but this is the one I've been singing...)
Btw, the Church has an ever-increasing image library on lds.org. Be sure to check it out when looking for visuals in Primary... it's awesome!
