Risen for Me – chorus melody map

**I print my maps "poster size" tiled 2x2 so all children can see the map.

KEY:
Orange Faces: "Hallelujah!"
Blue Stars: words that refer to Jesus
Green Arrows: "Risen"
Black Circle: "Grave"
Pink Hearts: words that describe Jesus (goodness, grace, power, peace)
Purple Diamonds: "Every"
Yellow Moons: words that refer to oneself
Grey Circles: everything else

How to use this map (younger children):
- Start with the pages attached to the board in order.  Ask the children, what do you see?  what is the same?  what do you wonder?  Collect answers and offer praise.  There are no wrong answers here.  Point out (if they didn't notice already) that there are different images repeated throughout each page, some pictures are higher or lower, there are lines that connect the shapes, etc.
- Tell the children the map has something to do with the song you are learning.  Challenge them to figure it out as you sing through the chorus.  Ask them what they learned, collect answers, and offer praise.
- Challenge the children to figure out what each icon stands for as you sing again.  Sing, collect answers, and offer praise.  Repeat if necessary.  Be sure to "check" their work at the end.
 
How to use this map (older children):
- Start with the pages attached to the board OUT OF order.  Ask the children, what do you see?  what is the same?  what do you wonder?  Collect answers and offer praise.  There are no wrong answers here.  Point out (if they didn't notice already) that there are different images repeated throughout each page, some pictures are higher or lower, there are lines that connect the shapes, etc.
- Tell the children the map has something to do with the song you are learning.  Challenge them to figure it out as you sing through the final chorus through the end.  Ask them what they learned, collect answers, and offer praise.  If they haven't figured it out, tell them the pages are not in the correct order, and you need their help to fix it.
- Let the children help you put the pages in the correct order as you sing again.  Sing it one more time to check your work.
