Nursery Games and Activities to help LDS Nursery Leaders and parents teach gospel principles to children ages 18 months to 3 years old.

Song: Home. They will enjoy retelling the story with their very own visual aid. Lesson 16 I love my body — this activity includes the face of Daniel, mouth slit open, which allows for paper food to slide in like he is eating. Printing in color and on cardstock makes the food easy to put in his mouth. Lesson 24 I love my brothers and sisters — this activity of the baby Moses scene lets the children tell the story of how baby Moses was put in a basket and how his sister followed him on his was to Pharohs wife.

Lesson 31 I am thankful for my home — activity is the picture of a jar on a piece of paper with tasks jobs the children can complete at home. This one is one of my all time favorites! You will see as the year goes by, there will be no need for a food distraction when the children are being taught lessons outlined by the church coupled with activities to reinforce what is being taught.

Thank you ladies for your creativity that allows me to help teach choice spirits of our Heavenly Father! I purchased this and love it! The only problem is we purchased a new Apple and no longer have a dvd rom. I have made the egg shakers and used colorful electric tape or duck tape strips to hold them together. It works great! I am surely using more of these fun ideas. Another idea for head shouders knees and toes is to sing it backwards. Eye ears mouth and nose, mouth and nose….

And it makes us all think! I'm making every single one of these ideas this week. All I have left are the sunbeam sticks and prophet sticks. Thank you so much for all the cute ideas! We have used dollar store flashlights and turned them on with the classroom lights off and sing "I am like a Star" Also, use cotton balls and drop them like snow when singing "Falling Snow" — easy for nursery kids to learn.

Store both items in Gallon ziploc bag. Kids like to take the items out and put them back in all by themselves. Thanks for all the other fabulous ideas. I LOVE those ideas! I wish I had more time in Nursery to sing more songs!! But then, that's the case with singing time too :. My nursery kids will love these! I was recently called, and going in for singing time in Nursery part of the Primary Chorister calling in my branch was the most intimidating, in part because I didn't know what songs to use.

This helps sooooo much!! Especially having a set playlist, if you will. Camille, I love your blog. Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas. I've been the chorister for a while but am just about to start doing Nursery singing time. Thanks for the great ideas. Thank you for the tip! I updated my post! I'm going to post here soon another way for the eggs…don't hot glue, as it just cracks. Use colored electrical tape and go around the circumference twice!

It works like a charm! I'll have more details posted here shortly!! I had no idea what to sing and how to make it fun for toddlers. Your ideas are wonderful! Thanks for all the ideas. I just got called to be the nursery music teacher. I am a guy and my baby is 18 years old, so this will be interesting. I'm guy that the little kids look at and just start crying. All of these ideas make me feel a little more confident. Wish me luck. I'm sure they called you for a reason, you'll be great :.

I hope you find something here that works well for you. Good luck! Any chance you'll have stuff available for Spanish in the future or blank forms where text in other languages could be inserted? Hopefully you can find enough ideas to get by and tweak what you need. I love these ideas but have one reservation. I have found that if I don't keep things moving the nursery children get distracted and bored and I lose their attention.

Do you find that the time spent handing out props and retrieving them again creates a disturbance? If so, how do you navigate that? I haven't found the props to be a distraction but maybe it's different for everybody. The pattern that I set with one song using props, then the next song using only actions repeated has worked great for me. I'm never trying to turn in props AND give out another one.

If there are lots of kids, I give a few to all the teachers and they help pass out. It hardly takes any time at all. I also have a simple rule: only kids sitting in their seats get a prop. I have recently been called to be the nursery chorister.

I currently dread it each week for a few reasons: the chorister before me chose to teach them some silly, fun songs that aren't from the primary children song book — songs they can get on Sesame Street or other places like that.

I want to use the church songs only there are plenty of fun ones! Do you have suggestions for transitioning them away from those and into these? Second, I was given a bag with these types of things — shakers, hearts and stars on sticks, and finger puppets. I am using them. I also want repetition like you show here but to teach them some new songs also, especially ones that go along with the lesson that day.

Thanks for your tips and suggestions! I'm going to fix our shakers and make some new stick signs for the prophet song. I'm a HUGE fan of following the songbook! There are so many songs in there that there's no reason to deviate.

I figure, if the kids knew every song in the songbook, then I'd move on but that will never happen. I'd go in to Nursery with very low expectations as far as attention span goes.

I've been singing the same songs with them and I know the repetition has been very beneficial — they love it and respond well knowing what is happening and what will happen next. If I had more time in there, I'd increase the song list to 20 if I could. On occasion I've brought my primary lesson into nursery thinking they'd like it but every time it's been a bombshell.

They don't know what to do and never sing when I change it up. But it may work differently for you. The repetition is convenient for me, and I don't mind it, but if it bothers you, definitely do what works best for you. If I were just the nursery chorister, I would definitely sing a birthday song when it's someone's birthday but it would be the SAME song each time and maybe do one new song every 3 months or so — so maybe something seasonal. I'd definitely increase the weekly list to as many songs as I had time for.

If you check out my Wiggle Worm Jar list of songs, those are the ones I'd add to nursery some of which are already there :. Instead of scarves you could get a roll of blue Tulle and cut long strips. That costs a lot less and works really well. I especially love it because you only use church approved songs, which is a huge bonus!!!! Thank you for the great resources! I absolutely love your idea about bringing the nursery children into the primary room for singing time. I am in a ward where this would work and can't wait to talk to the primary presidency about it!

Such fun ideas! I'm new in my calling, so this is great! Brand new, first time chorister here. Our ward doesn't use the chorister in nursery and I am excited to start. This is such a great resource. You mention the temple magazine to get temple pictures but you also have pictured some drawn pictures of the temples.

Where did you get those? Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Be prepared in singing time for the entire month — every month! And all you have to do is print! Hundreds of printables organized by song title and category that coincide with my singing time lesson plan posts! It is simple and it works!
