Learn & Grow Flower New Year Idea

Introduce all your songs for Come Follow Me New Testament with this cute Primary New Year Idea: Learn & Grow activity! It’s so fun to see your primary children progress throughout the year and learn new songs!

Each of the petals of the flower will have one of your songs for the year written on it. As you learn the songs each month, add a petal to the flower until the flower is fully grown at the end of the year! Such a fun way to introduce all your songs at the beginning of the year!

Learn & Grow Flower Primary New Years Idea

It’s so fun to start a new year in primary! I love watching all the new sunbeams adjust to primary and have fun in singing time! I typically like to introduce all my songs at the beginning of the year to give the kids an overview of what we’ll be learning.

Create a cute flower with primary song petals to introduce all your songs for the year! You can find the full printable flower with petals later in the post!

To make your learn & grow flower, you’ll just need a few supplies. I grabbed some colorful paper, scissors and tape. You can also use a stapler to keep the flower together.

I’ve created a printable that includes a steam & leaves, a flower center, and petals for ALL of the songs for New Testament. There are even some blank petals in case you are teaching some extra songs for holidays, performances, etc.

Print out petals for the songs you’ll be teaching. It might be a good idea to print out all the petals and save them for the next time you teach these songs! Start by taping the leaves to the stem. Then, tape or staple the center to the stem.

When you introduce your songs, use magnets to put the stem on the white board. Display the petals on the side of the board to show the songs you’ll be learning. Then, add the petals each month when you learn a new song!

If you have a primary bulletin board, this might be a good place to display your beautiful learn & grow flower. This way, everyone can see the songs you are learning! You could also put the flower on a large poster board to display in the primary room.

This is how it will turn out once you add all your primary songs for the year! I LOVE how mine turned out!

  4. Tape the stem to the center of the flower. Keep the petals in a sheet protector or folder.
  5. Welcome your primary kids to a new year in primary! Introduce yourself and welcome any new primary kids.
  6. Then, bring out the flower stem and tape the petals to the side of the whiteboard. Have the children read through the songs and help them get excited about the new songs they’ll be learning!
  7. You might ask them if there are any songs on the board that they are already familiar with.
  8. Share a short testimony about learning together in primary.
  9. Each month, add a petal to your flower. At the end of the year, your flower will be fully grown!

Extension Ideas:

  • Tape the stem & leaves to a large poster board. Make a cute title that is specific to your ward primary. Display the poster in the primary room and pull it out each time you learn a new song!
  • Have your accompanist play through the songs on the piano as you put up the flower. Share a little bit about why you chose each song.
  • Write out some of the doctrines taught in the songs you’ll be teaching. Write those doctrines on the back of the petal. When you introduce each song at the beginning of the month, share the doctrine or principle that song teaches.
  • Have the kids try to guess what songs you’ll be learning! Play a guessing game where you give them hints about each song and see if they can guess correctly!
