5- Singing Time Ideas: Clown (Graphics 13-14)
Print the clown on card stock. Color and cut. Write the songs that you want to sing on small strips of paper and put them in balloons. Blow up the balloons. (NOTE: Do not blow the balloon up very big. If you donΓÇÖt put too much air in them, they donΓÇÖt make a loud noise when you pop them.) Tie yarn to the balloons. Using poster putty, attach the clown to the board. Tape the balloons around the board, but have all the strings come down and go through the hole in the clownΓÇÖs hand. Tell the children that one way we can strengthen our families is by participating in wholesome activities together. Ask for an idea of an example of a wholesome activity. When a child has an answer, let them come and pick a balloon. Pop the balloon to see what song is inside. Encourage the children to participate in wholesome recreation with their families.
