Praise to the Man: Action Word Actions and Beat for Younger Children - 3rd verse

How does a child differentiate between a first verse and a third verse of a song?

They have to learn it with a different experience so that it categorizes into a different place in the memory.  

HERE is a rhythmic activity with specific actions for the 3rd verse of Praise to the Man. (Disclaimer - I'm singing with a cold.  Please look beyond that. ) 

• Great - Swing your arm in front as if punching

• is - patsch

• glory - arms and hands pushing upward like light glowing

• endless his priesthood - hand over eyes then extending forward

• Ever and ever - circle one hand above your head 4 times

• keys - hold out hands, palms uphold - put two hands together as if catching something 

• Faithful and true - point to your head, bring the side of your hand down to your other palm, then slice thru your palm

• enter his kingdom - hold your hand straight and point it up to heaven 

• Crowned - put a crown on your head

• prophets of old - ASL sign for prophet 

Chorus: Patsch, patsch  clap with R hand on top, turn hand to clap with L hand on top  - x3(on the end of the 3rd time, you will wait on the fermata) Patsch, patsch  clap with R hand on top, turn hand to clap with L hand on top  -  x4
