Give Said the Little Stream Pg 236 of the Children’s songbook is a classic song know by many children and adults. The sweet message of this song is that even though you might be little, you are powerful and have many things you can do and gifts to give.

Have I Done Any Good?
This is an arrangement of Hymn 223 in the LDS Hymnbook. I have arranged this hymn to be in a lower voice range than the original. It is also an easier piano accompaniment for those who need that. I have created a YouTube video to go along with this arrangement and you can find it…… Continue reading Have I Done Any Good?
When He Comes Again
This arrangement is of When He Comes Again (LDS Children’s songbook pg 82-83) Visual Aids I have created two flipcharts here to help with teaching the words of this song. One is for verse 1 and another for verse 2. These flipcharts show keywords as triggers for memory work. These charts do not list every…… Continue reading When He Comes Again
Faith
The song Faith in the Primary Children’s Songbook Pg 96-97 is a wonderful song exploring the ideas of things your primary children may already believe in. Of course, the analogy of the seed is a perfect way to describe faith, but there are many other simple things that you could also talk about to help…… Continue reading Faith
The Iron Rod

I created this arrangement for two reasons. The first is that the original accompaniment is very hard to…… Continue reading An Angel Came to Joseph Smith

In our primary, we got a late start on learning this song, so let me share what we did to make it look like we were better prepared! I taught everyone in the…… Continue reading Tell Me the Stories of Jesus Arrangement
We’ll Bring the World His Truth
These teaching aids go along with an arrangement I wrote for We’ll Bring the World His Truth written by Janice Kapp Perry b.1938 and is pg. 172 in the Primary Children’s Songbook. This is an upbeat, strong marchy song, amazingly written in a 3/4 time signature. Most marches are four counts per measure which lends…… Continue reading We’ll Bring the World His Truth
Book of Mormon Stories
These teaching aides accompany an arrangement I wrote to teach all eight verses of this popular song from the Primary Children’s Songbook pg. 118. The original verse #2 was not included in this arrangement, but can easily be added by repeating the first verse twice with the new words. I am choosing not to teach…… Continue reading Book of Mormon Stories
