Music that Invites the Spirit

We have an amazing music leader in our primary. She does lots of games and activities to encourage the kids to sing and learn new songs. She has no problem being silly with them or encouraging their imagination. She is awesome!!! We decided we wanted to do an activity about appropriate music and finding music that invites the spirit not only on Sunday but even during the week when we have the radio on or we are listening to a cd in the car. Along with this we decided to have the girls help make props for our primary music leader. And as fate would have it, my partner could not be there that night so our music leader stepped in to be the other supervising adult at activity days that night.
I bought several 8x10 pieces of felt in various colors, found some fish outlines online and cut out various fish (flounder, angel fish, star fish, seahorse, etc.). I did them big enough so I was getting about 2 fish per piece of felt. Armed with puffy paint, gems and tacky glue, my girls went to town decorating the fish. I also numbered each fish with puffy paint so our music leader could associate each fish with a song. We ended up with some pretty eclectic yet fun fish. I took them home and let them dry for a couple days (puffy paint is annoying like that) and then I glued a washer to each of their mouths. I made a fishing pole with a magnet on the end (make sure your washers and magnet work well together before gluing). Now every time they get used in primary, the girls get giddy and like to point out the ones that they made.
