Thanksgiving Ideas

I am completely ready for Thanksgiving thanks to Camille's Primary Ideas - with the Turkey Toss and Thanksgiving Sing a Story, I've been set for years now. But just in case I continue to have this calling and I would like to switch things up, here are some Thanksgiving ideas for the future.

I have recently discovered the Barefoot Chorister. It's SO EXCITING for me when I find a new chorister web site! There is a post on Thanksgiving Ideas which towards the end has a fantastic Roll the Turkey game. In the same post she linked to another blog that has several games that can be adapted for Singing Time. There's a Turkey Turkey, Who's got the Turkey game, a Turkey Bowling game and lots of other cute Thanksgiving posts that someone might be able to adapt for singing time. And November of next year, like this year, has 5 Sundays, so some of those cute games might come in handy.

Would You Like a Yearly Planner for 2015?

Here we go! 2015 come on down! Because I'm ready for you!

Here is my planner for the year. I have all the Birthday Songs, Welcome Songs, and Opening Songs listed. Each month I have a Birthday Song and Welcome Song that I use for the whole month.

Each Sunday has a different opening song. I tried to match the opening song to the weekly theme. Towards the end of the year, I started just picking random songs because all of the weekly themes seemed geared towards the Savior (as it should be) and I felt like I had exhausted all my options on Savior themed songs.

I have several activities plugged in that I typically use every year (Valentine's, St. Patrick's, etc.). Most of the weeks in the fall I just repeat year after year. Because I can. Fall and Christmas time are my favorite times of the year because I just pull from the stash and really don't have to do much creating at all. This coming year, I will have to make the hinges skeleton that I found from Camille's primary ideas just a few days too late for Halloween this year.

Hopefully, the google docs link works (it is new - I haven't been on it in so long and they changed things up on me). It is a word document and should be editable.

This is the original work of Sunbeam Singing. I downloaded her 2013 planner and have just been adjusting it ever since. When I got a new version of word, the images disappeared, so I just plugged new images for each month (because I am clipart happy like that).

Enjoy! Let me know if it doesn't work. Thanks!
