Squirrel!

 
Before Sunday, you will need to:
make 3 identical squirrel cups
Crack 6 walnuts open and put a primary favorite song inside-then glue the nut back together

On Sunday, put the squirrel cups on a table.  Under one cup place a walnut (let the children see you so this).  Then try to confuse the children by changing places of the cups as quickly as you can.  Choose a child to guess which cup has the nut.  If they guess right, let them crack the nut open with a hammer and sing that song.  If they guess wrong, you get to pick the song! 
I'm planning on drawing a Reverence Tree on the chalk board and sticking leaves on it.  The leaves will have a song on the back.  If they guess wrong, I will choose a reverent song from the tree!

***Don't forget to look at all the other posts from this week and the previous one!!!  We've posted a bunch, and we hope they can help with your Primary!!!  and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

  1. Such a cute idea. I was so excited to do it but I realized that we have several kids in our primary with severe nut allergies. Darn!

  3. Loved this idea and tried it out. The only problem... I am not quick enough! The kids knew where it was everytime but they loved it. Especially the "smashing" part! Thank you!

  4. I just got called to be the chorister. Today was my first day. I did a getting to know me game where I told the kids stories about my childhood growing up. From the stories I told, they had to guess which song we were going to sing next from the songs I had placed on a poster for our program next month. I told about how we hand fed and raised baby squirrels when I was about 9 yrs old, when the mother was killed from a fallen tree. I love this idea of hiding the walnut under the squirrel. I plan to have some fun with this idea! Thank You!
