Daddy's Homecoming

So, I have been subbing as singing time teacher the past few weeks in Primary and have been having a lot of fun! Some ideas have been better than others, but I am excited to see how this week goes with teaching the kid's Daddy's Homecoming for fathers day!

1. I'm so glad when daddy* comes home,
   Glad as I can be;
   Clap my hands and shout for joy,
   Then climb upon his knee,
   Put my arms around his neck,
   Hug him tight like this,
   Pat his cheeks, then give him what?
   A great big kiss.

So, I searched Pintrest all over for a fun creative idea to help these kids learn this song, and I couldn't find anything that inspired me.

Then I had an epiphany...

"PIN THE KISS ON DADDY!!"

Oh so great.

So I made my own little "Stick daddy" that could fit on a chair. Each child will get a pair of colored "Lips" that they get to try to pin on Daddy at the end of the song, but to be able to earn their shot at pinning the kiss on Daddy, they have to come up and act out the song sitting on "Daddy's" lap.

I am hoping the kids will think it is silly and funny, but also by seeing other kids doing the actions while we sing the song over and over will help solidify the lyrics! 

Each kid will get a "Chocolate kiss" after they make their attempt (I am doing starbursts because we have some lactose kiddos...but they will get the point.)

I thought it was pretty clever. We will see how it goes this week!
