Week 10-Review with E. Bunny

I knew a large portion of our singing time would be spent reviewing our two songs for the Easter program (Hosanna, and I know that my Savior loves me.) I wanted to make it a little different though.

So I told the kids that when a friend of mine found out that we would be singing Easter songs that day, he insisted on coming. I said that this friend of mine thinks he's some kind of Easter expert. Then I brought out our guest which was a stuffed bunny, that I just referred to as Easter Bunny. I told the kids that he can talk to me and that he says he's very "hoppy" to be here with them. I made a few other bad Easter puns throughout singing time. After I placed E. Bunny on the table, I pretended that he told me that he would prefer for someone to hold him. The kids loved getting called on to hold the bunny as we sang. Then after each song, bunny would tell me what he thought about the song. After the kids sang Hosanna, I said that Bunny thinks the song is missing something. Bunny explained that what he thinks the song could use is a "ding-dong-ding". So then the kids were split into two groups, so one could sing the regular verse, and the other could sing the ding-dong-dings.

Eventually, we said goodbye to E. Bunny and moved on to learning another verse of "Follow the Prophet", again using hand motions and actions to remember the words.
