Song Wall

Psalm 100 - Make a joyful nosie unto the Lord, all ye lands.
 
I love to sing songs with the kids as we begin Jr. Church and one thing I do most weeks is use my Song Wall. 
 
 
Each week I pick five or six kids, depending on how many songs
 I want to sing, and let them pick a square.  All the other kids in the room are usually rooting them on and telling them what color of square to pick.  Once they pick a sqaure, they then pull it off the wall
 and that is the song we sing.
 


Of course we have a bunch of fun songs that the kids love, Jesus Loves Me, The Jungle Song, Wonderful Words of Life, I Believe the Bible, The Wordless Book Song and the list goes on and on!
 
The wall was very easy to make.  First I cut different colors of squares out of foam.  I wrote a song we know on the back of each one and then put a small ball of sticky tack on the back of each and put them on the wall.  The sticky tack lets them be pulled off the wall over and attached again over and over without hurting the wall.  The I cut "Psalm 100" and some musical notes out of foam and attached them as a title piece for the wall I mounted everything on.
 
This is also a great idea if you have extra time in your class before you dimiss.  Remember kids always remember the last thing they hear you say, why not make that be a Jesus song!

"Jesus Loves Me" Wall

One of my favorite things to do at every church we serve in is to make a "Jesus Loves Me" wall.


Every child that comes to Sunday School or Wednesday Night Bible Adventures gets their picture taken.  I then cut around their picture and stick it on the wall with sticky tack.  We have this in the main hallway where everyone passes by it. (This why the pitutre is slanted!) 


All the kids and adults love it and there are always a couple of kids or adults standing there talking and laughing as they point out all the different faces they find, old and new friends, bus and church kids, and some that have moved or grown-up.  The kids also love to find themselves and will let me know if I have forgotten anyone!  It is so fun when years later the kids look at the pictures of when they were little and firsted started coming to church.

Everytime I walk by the wall, the song "Jesus Loves Me"
 pops into my mind.  Flintstone style that is!

Jesus Loves Me (Sung to the tune of the Flintstones)
Jesus, Jesus loves me
Jesus, loves me, loves me this I know,
For the, For the Bible
For the Bible, Bible tells me so!
Little, little ones to Him belong,
They are, they are weak but He is strong!
 Jesus, Jesus loves me
Jesus, loves me, loves me this I know!
