12 More Ways to Teach Easter Hosanna
If you’re looking for even more inspiration, I’ve sourced some of my favorite ideas for other Primary Music Leaders to help you teach this song in fun and varied ways.
1. Easter Hosanna – Silent Video
Turn to the church’s media library to find a beautiful bible video like this one of Christ Appearing at the temple. Then, play the video without sound and instead play the music to Easter Hosanna.
You don’t need to sing along, in fact I suggest you let the kids just listen to the song. This will help them feel the meaning of the song as they watch the video with the music. I recommend starting at 1-minute in. Then, play the song again and this time sing along!
2. Easter Hosanna – Ribbon Wands
See this fun idea for Ribbon Wands from Teaching Primary Music. It’s a simple and easy pattern that even your Junior Primary children can pick up and follow along with!
3. Easter Hosanna – Ancient Scroll
How adorable is this idea from I Heart Primary Music to sing through the song using an ancient scroll. It’s a cute way to display the lyrics and you can use it paired with my flip chart or binder picture activity above!
4. Easter Hosanna – Egg Shakers
This is a cute and fun rhythm pattern the kids will enjoy! Start the video at 34:55 to see this egg shaker and pencil pattern.
Egg Shakers are the first instrument I always recommend to a new music leader. They’re super versatile and easy to use! Pickup a set of Egg Shakers on Amazon here. Plus, a perfect help to get you started using your egg shakers with the rhythm and in creative and fun ways, pickup the Egg Shaker Beat Rhythm Cards I created.
