Sing through He Sent His Son song once before introducing the activity.
Ask did you notice all those questions? How many questions do you think we sang? (Answer is 6!) Sometimes we have questions about what our purpose is or what we should be doing with our time here on Earth. In this song, we learn some of the ways a loving Heavenly Father answers our questions and gives us guidance.
Pick a volunteer to come up front to try to make a match. They’ll pick 2 cards, and if they match, keep them face up and sing through the song!
Continue singing through the song and then finding a new matching set. After all matches are revealed, rearrange the grid in the correct song order.
