Every Star is Different Star Masks
Sing through Every Star is Different (flip chart here) once, before introducing this activity.
Pull out these adorable star cutout masks. Invite a child or two to come up and pick out one of your masks. They’ll help lead the music and sing out with the star mask.
You can then invite your helpers to share something that makes them unique!
Fill up your board with all the ways that your Primary kiddos are stars! What makes them unique and special?
Share a brief testimony of how each of the children are special to Heavenly Father and created by him to be just the way they are, just like he created the stars!
Extension Activities:
Invite the children to close their eyes and pick one helper. Have that child come up front and hide their face behind your star mask, uncut or with only a couple small cutouts. Have the children try to guess the helper!
Invite 2-4 children to come up and sing the song as a solo with their star masks! You could have the helpers sing one line and then the rest of your Primary sing the next line or switch between verse and chorus.
Have the teachers wear the star masks and come up front. After each time through the song, ask the teachers a trivia question about the song. Invite the teachers to raise their hand as they know the answer. Give a point to the teacher who answers correctly, giving the teacher who raises their hand first a chance to answer. Then let that teacher swap out someone else from their class to take their spot and continue with the game. Sing through the song again and ask another song trivia question.
- Example Song Trivia Questions:
- What word is used to describe how the star shine? (Brightly)
- Fill in the blank: Some are bright and __. (Happy)
- Why is everyone needed? (For just what he can do!)
- Who else can be you? (No one!)
