Primary Activity - Music, music, music

This morning we had a Primary activity for the kids at our church building. It was tons of fun. Not too many kids showed up, but for the ones that did we are grateful and they seemed to enjoy themselves. They learned all about music and how it moves us. First they learned about the battle of Jericho and how the walls came tumbling down while they blew their trumpets. They also played name that tune with the Articles of Faith, made music shakers (containers filled with beans), and colored pictures while listening to different types of music. It was a fun morning.

That's the arc of the covenant they are carrying.

They also had dance time. We played all sorts of different types of rhythms and beats and the kids showed us their best moves. Oh, it was good!

I love Sami's little ballet moves amidst the crowd and Bobby's handbanging was classic. All the kids did a great job.

Then we got to have sing-a-long time with me and my limited guitar skills. Thank goodness for simple chords. I loved it as much as the kids. I think that is one of my favorite things to do, sing and play, which is why I learned the guitar in the first place. My piano skills weren't quite good enough to sing a long to.

While we were cleaning up, Jane and Mattie discovered the arc and that they could carry it. It was too cute.

And this picture was just too cute not to post!
