One by One

I'm the Primary Music Leader in our ward. We were asked to teach One By One to our senior primary (kids ages 8-11) for Stake Conference. These are the images I pulled together to help them learn the song.

 

I printed off the words and attached them to different colored pages of paper. We matched the words to the pictures. Using page protectors I created a "flip chart."

 

I printed off the phrase "One by One" and stuck them all around the room. I had a child look, find and get one as we learned the song. We then attached the phrases to the appropriate pictures.

 

When I couldn't find a picture that depicted what I wanted, I went to trusty Paper and Markers and created my own. I kept things simple, because my talents lie in places other than drawing detailed scenes. Often simple works best.

 

I really enjoyed putting this book together. I enjoyed learning the song. The verse that touches me the most is the third one. I get brain tingles and goosebumps often as go over the lines, "Jesus Christ healed each one brought forth unto Him. Then He blessed each precious child and prayed for them. The angels descended from heaven above, encircling those little ones; each felt His love."

 

I picture myself being healed, blessed and feeling His love. Then I see my children experiencing the same thing. Then my mind moves to others I know.  This was a great opportunity for my testimony to grow. While I was preparing and practicing for this song I noticed an increase in joy.  I love when I get to delve into gospel teachings through songs and share them with the children.

 

Posted above each image is the Title and reference numbers for finding that image. I used the LDS Meeting House Library site to identify the pictures I used. It is a great resource! Below each image are the words that go with it.

 

Enjoy!
