Croak///!?

Okay, Enough already!
I had a hint of a sore throat 2 weeks ago.
It turned into an upper respiratory infection.

I DID go to the doctor.
I DID take all my antibiotics.
I DID refrain from speaking for 3 days.
I don't feel bad.

BUT....
my voice is NO GOOD!
It's taking a L O N G time for my throat to heal.
My voice pops and crackles, words fade in and out.

Singing ....
Well, it's painful to HEAR!

Surely,
one day soon,
MY VOICE WILL BE BACK!

singo...this is it!

So ...this is a sample of Singo Bingo
Each class is given a sheet.
The sheet is slipped into a sheet protector.
Each class gets a dry-erase marker.
A song is called (like bingo)
the class marks the sheet protector
(which wipes off for multiple uses)
Then we sing the song.
Then, on it goes....
I do insist they sing
( and they sing enthusiastically)
After a couple of songs I start asking how close they are.
They ALL get so excited.
We play until time is up.
If a class gets "Singo-Bingo"
We acknowledge it...but keep playing.
Usually I have a treat for all my Great Singers
I wait at the door for dismissal and pass out their goodie.
Everyone WINS...
I start out with songs that are my favorites.
After we've learned a few more "program" songs...
I'll update my singo cards to the program songs.
Including 1st verses and 2nd verses and so forth with
a few activity songs thrown in.
That way it becomes a great review tool.
I'm not the most technical music leader
BUT...
I do serve with HEART and SOUL!

SINGO-BINGO

Sunday
we played Singo~Bingo!
It is a LOT of fun.
It can get a LITTLE chaotic!
The primary children (ages 3-11)
sang with gusto!
I love to hear their sweet voices singing.
I love to see their excitement.
I love to feel the Spirit!
I love being the Primary chorister!
