Well, here is a post for the first week of February! I wasn't sure I would get around to it and then I found this on Singing a Song is Fun to do, so basically all I had to do was cut and paste!:When I've taught this song in the past I've used objects. See the list below. There are a couple of ways to do this.
1) Put the objects on a table. Sing the first line, have the kids repeat. Choose a child to pick the object that goes with that phrase and stand in line at the front of the room. Continue with the next line. This is great for Junior Primary.
2) Just start singing and handing out the objects as you go. Do the first four lines and then have the children sing with you and the kids holding the objects try to get themselves in order at the front of the room. Sing it again to see if they got it right. Then do the same for the rest of the verse. This is geared more toward Senior Primary.
Whenever I hear the song of a bird stuffed animal bird
Or look at the blue, blue sky, blue fabric that can be waved above the head {I'll actually use the clip art at the top of this post}
Whenever I feel the rain on my face small spray bottle set on mist
Or the wind as it rushes by, hand fan {using my airbed pump}
Whenever I touch a velvet rose fake rose {might actually spring for a real rose - nothing compares to that velvety feeling of a live one}
Or walk by our lilac tree, fake lilac branch or just a branch
I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world small globe
Heav’nly Father created for me. child pointing to himself

Heav’nly Father created for me. child pointing to himself
He gave me my eyes that I might see glasses or child pointing to their eyes
The color of butterfly wings. toy butterfly
He gave me my ears that I might hear child pointing to their ears
The magical sound of things. small bell or instrument
He gave me my life, my mind, my heart: mirror
I thank him rev’rently child folding arms as if praying {i'll look for clipart: praying lds clipart}
For all his creations, of which I’m a part. clear container filled with small toy animals, fruit, plants, etc.
Yes, I know Heav’nly Father loves me. paper or stuffed heart
