Tis 'sweet' to sing

So I wanted to have some worthwhile teaching moments with the kids this summer... and I was remembering when Grandma Jean used to pay us a dollar to memorize the hymns. I want my kids to learn the hymns also, but I knew I needed to motivate them with something else (money doesn't work yet). So I thought that they could earn a big candy bar (something we never buy) if they learned all the words. I started with 6 hymns/childrens songs that I wanted them to learn. I put the motivation out on the counter so that they could be reminded of it often. I made a tag for the jar (nothing like you scrappers would make, but oh well...) with the song name on it and when they pass it off, they get to take a candy bar out and sign their name to the card. So far it is working well. They will ask me to help them work on it, because they want to earn the reward. Which is a lot better than me nagging them to work on it. :) If they do pass them all off before the end of the summer, I think I will pick the next 6 songs. It is kind of fun to hear them singing some new songs. We are also memorizing D&C 25:12 that I framed and put on the counter with the jars.
