Temple Flowers - "Bee" a Singer pick-a-song, singing commands
SINGING TIME ACTIVITIES to Motivate Children to Sing
TEMPLE FLOWERS “Bee” a Singer pick-a-song, singing commands (find bee hiding)
11 pages (color/black-and-white visuals and instructions)
DESCRIPTION: Let’s enjoy the beauty of the temple flowers with a song posted on the back and find an occasional bee that will indicate singing directions.
OBJECTIVE: Children can choose a flower to sing a song and a bee to select the way to sing a song, e.g., with eyes closed. See Singing Commands* below. Ask children to come up and choose a flower. Sing the song on the back of the flower chosen.
If a child finds a bee behind the flower, ask children to sing the song the way the bee suggests (see #4 below). Bee hides behind flower to indicate who and how the song will be sung.
