Baptism Medley- Baptism and When I am Baptized Part 2

This week I taught the second part of the medley which is When I am Baptized.  My primary children already know this song because we sang it for the program in 2018.  So for us it was just a review and learning it with the new accompaniment.

You can see how I taught the first verse of  this song HERE and also find a link to listen and buy the music.

To review this song I handed out colored scarves to the primary children and had them move them in an arch over their heads like they were making a rainbow.  This should be smooth and in rhythm with the music.  I had them sing this way while singing "I like to look for rainbows whenever their is rain and ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again" For the next part of the song we used the scarves to make quick downward falling motions like raindrops in a staccato pattern.  We did this while singing, "I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.  I want to be the best I can and live with God again."

We sang this several times through until I felt like the children had the words down.  We also sang the second verse the same way.

For the medley the first verse of Baptism and second verse of When I Am Baptized are sang simultaneously.  When we put these two parts together I had the group that was singing Baptism use the rhythm wands with the actions I had taught the week before and the group singing When I Am Baptized use the scarves using the actions above.  It was fun to see both the wands and scarves moving at the same time in different patterns.
