I opened it up with the "bump crease" marking the middle. With 2 protectors, I cut along the bottom & the binder holes side. I used 3 page protectors to cover the poster. Then I thought of just cutting open page protectors to make one long sheet cover. Then I thought about laminating pouches & taping them together.nope. But I eventually got it after running out of luck in trying to find cellophane to make a cover to write the chart on. The inspiration for how to do the same thing with the posters was a little more difficult to receive. They were very soft, yet you could hear them. Primary would take turns with half of them being the echos. It's a bit more complex than the next song I'll talk about. I've since fixed it (just last night:) for tomorrow's Singing Time. Much easier for them & they loved it! However, I forgot to type up the smaller font echo part of it. But we only sing the 'triumphant King!' part of it. I also have them do MOST of the echo on the final phrase, 'All hail triumphant King!'. The "Hosanna" parts I put a smaller size font for the echo. I chose to include only the echo parts on the last half of the song. It has a 2nd part if you want to include it. We get sick of all the same old holiday songs! So I chose 2 new ones for them to enjoy the first one is Hosanna-Children's Songbook pg. I also like doing the posters because then I can introduce new songs to them. I put a label on each of the 2 long edges so that it doesn't matter how I put them away when finished. When flipping through posters, I only have to look at the labels rather than lifting & pulling each poster out to see what song it is. I label them with little label stickers & keep them in the closet all year long. For these holidays, I like to make big posters to help them sing & enjoy the songs. They have Easter, Mom's Day, Dad's Day, Independence Day, & Pioneer Day that all come during the months preparing for the annual primary program. We spend so much time & effort in teaching the children the program songs throughout the year that it's just not fair to expect them to do the same thing with each holiday that comes in between. If you want a copy of the pictures I used for the posters, they are at the bottom of the post:)Īs much as I enjoy holidays, it's just not practical to take the time to really teach less familiar or even new holiday songs. Which is great because now I can share with you what I'm doing with the same songs again for Easter Sunday all in the same post! WARNING: This is a llloooooonnnnngggg post! Hopefully it'll be worth it to you. It was very frustrating, because I had everything prepared to share with you & things just didn't want to work with me:) But apparently all's well today with my iPhoto. I couldn't get the pictures I wanted to post at all. For some unknown reason, my iPhoto had a 'puter fart or something. I know it's the day before Easter & I'm just now posting what I've come up with! But I just have to say that I've been trying to post about these Easter Song posters I had made for last week's Singing Time for over a week now.
