With the help of the music leader, invite the older Primary children to learn the song "I Feel the Spirit" (Friend, Feb. 2004, 15) and be prepared to sing it in sharing time.

Whisper as you ask the children to follow simple directions such as,

• "Put your hands on your head.
• Stand and stretch to touch the ceiling.
• Sit down and fold your arms."

Explain that the Holy Ghost also speaks with a "still small voice," and that we often "hear" the Holy Ghost by the way we feel.

Have those who are prepared sing "I Feel the Spirit" and invite the children to listen for all the ways we feel the Spirit.

Take responses and discuss.
