For this activity I used two oldish blankets, a blue one and a green one, and some paper flowers. Before Primary I wrote the names of the songs to sing on the backs of the flowers. I made and laminated a set of about 15 flowers that I use for a wide number of activities. I write on the back with wet erase markers, and wipe them clean with a baby wipe.

At the beginning of singing time I got out my blue blanket and declared "I have a blanket, and I want to play pretend with it! What should I play?" A few kids shouted out things like sleeping, being a superhero with a cape, and fishing. I mimed a few of those and then said, "I want to pretend that my blanket is a stream!" and laid the blanket on the ground. I considered bringing toy frogs and fish to lay in the stream, but I didn't. As I unfolded the green blanket I explained how streams bring water to plants and helps them to grow. I put the green blanket next to the blue one, and said to pretend that it was grass. Then I placed the flowers on the 'grass.' At this point we sang "Give said the little stream."

For the rest of singing time I selected children to come 'pick a flower' and we'd sing the song on the back. Since I was doing sharing time that week in addition to singing time, I had plenty of time and let the children jump over my pretend stream as a transition into the rest of what I had planned ("over the river and through the woods, to general conference we go!").
