SINGING TIME. I THINK THE WORLD IS GLORIOUS song visuals or singing meter or pick-a-song. Children can move these images around as they display God’s creation images and sing, “The birds and bees and blossoms bring sweet messages to me. I think the world is lovely as can be …” 

14 pages (color/black-and-white visuals and instructions)

DESCRIPTION: Fun activity to help children choose the next song to sing! Comes with a selection of songs that correlate with the illustrations or choose your own.

As children sing along, this activity will help them appreciate all of the wonderful creations Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father have created for them.

To Make: Print, color, and cut out the world sign and creation visuals and the list of songs. Laminate the creation visuals. Cut out the songs and tape them to the backs of the matching creation visuals. Mount the two-part creation sign on a board with magnets or on a poster. If using a poster (e.g., blue), laminate the entire poster and mount visuals on with double-stick tape. 

To Use:
*1. Sing “I Think the World Is Glorious” when you do this activity each time. The song is found in the Children’s Songbook, 230. See Lyrics HERE or below.
2. Have children take turns choosing a song by choosing a creation. These can be mounted in various parts of the room in plain sight for children to find. If this activity was used the week before, leave the creations on the poster so children have a chance to choose those that haven’t been chosen yet.
3. Children can read the song on the back (or choose one of the songs from the back if there are more than one) and post the creation on the world. Then have children sing the song.

Note: When choosing the giraffe, do the following: Sing the giraffe song (found on the GIRAFFE card) to the tune of “Once There Was a Snowman,” Children’s Songbook, 249. Use the lyrics on the GIRAFFE card.

Lyrics

1. I think the world is glorious and lovely as can be.

   The birds and bees and blossoms bring sweet messages to me.

   [Chorus]

   I sing, and sing, and sing, and sing

   A song of joy and love.

   I sing, and sing, and sing, and sing

   My thanks to God above.

2.  I think the world is glorious and lovely as can be,

   For I have teachers kind and true, and parents who love me.
