Kindness begins with me
(by Wendy Pray)
 
Divide the children up into 3 groups.

Have them all repeat "Kindness begins with me." Now tell them that they know 1/2 of what they'll have to sing.

Then give each 1/3 of the group one phrase:

1-I want to be kind to everyone
2-For that is right you see
3-So I say to myself remember this
EVERYBODY-- Kindness begins with me.

You can sing it 3 times w/each group taking a turn to sing each part if you want. Then you could even sing it all together once. Whatever you want & have time for.

Have your pianist play the song softly while you are preparing, choosing helpers, giving instructions, and telling/singing the words to the songs. That will give them just a little head-start on the melodies. If the melody's really tricky (ie: the 13th Article of Faith), then you might want to have them hum the song first.
