General Instructions This book can be implemented in planning for Primary music time activities, or in any other situation for which it is appropriate. Muggli Graphics is not affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; no book or program we publish is reviewed or endorsed by the Church. All contents of this book are for the purpose of giving ideas and suggestions only; decide for yourself through scripture study and prayer if you wish to use these materials, and if so, how you will implement them. We recommend checking with your local leaders if you wish. The pages in this book are meant to be printed onto card stock, cut out, and used as is. If desired, cover figures with clear adhesive plastic or laminate them. In that case printing can be done on lightweight paper. Usually when cutting items out, it is best to leave a narrow white margin all around. If the visual aid is a puppet, overlapping areas should not show any white margins. Prepare with flannel, magnets, or velcro for use with flannelboard, magnet board, or velcro board. If you will be using tape, be sure to laminate both sides. Visual aids may be implemented in many ways. Try posting them on the wall, on an easel or board, or have children hold them. If velcro is used, it will stick to some clothing such as fuzzy sweaters. Some of the visual aids in this book are paper bag puppets. Assemble as shown below, using small lunch size paper bags. Many visual aids can be turned into stick puppets by mounting them on tongue depressors (just make sure they are stiff enough and mount if needed). For some songs, actions are recommended instead of visual aids, so the actions may be described. In the Song Visual Aids List, visual aids and word strips are listed by phrase or line for each song. For some songs, only the first verse is shown. For other songs, more than one verse may be shown. You may want to teach more verses, or you may want to use different visual aids (or more or fewer). You will find the visual aids placed alphabetically in the Visual Aids section. The word strips are at the end of the book, arranged alphabetically. This book contains ideas, possibilities, and suggestions; make it work for you in whatever ways are most helpful. You could go about using this book in several ways, but the easiest way would be to prepare all the visual aids at once so they will all be ready. You will want to have them organized in such a way that they will be easy to find and will not get mixed up. My suggestion would be to get an accordian or portable file box. As you prepare the visual aids, puppets, and wordstrips, just file them according to their title alphabetically. Tape the title on the back of each item before filing. That way you will have to sort through only a few items to find the one you want, and as you gather other visual aids you can file them along with the ones in this book.
