Ideas to help you deal with the aftermath of the LDS Primary Program!

So you have a few days to prepare for your Primary Program Singing time coming up on Sunday? CHECK. You want to do something fun that has a MEDIUM amount of prep? CHECK. Nothing too overboard and fancy, but an idea that is a little more special than your regular Sunday Singing Time? CHECK. Well then, here’s a good list of MEDIUM Prep Primary Program Review Ideas for you!!! 1-Emoji Progress Emoji’s are easy for the Primary children to understand! So what better image to “grade” their Primary Program Songs??? Create a similar chart with your Program songs and mark which spot you think that song deserves after they sing it! You could even move your finger during the song where you think you’ll mark to “meter” where they’re at during the song J 2-Racecar Singing Bring two racecar tracks (or 2 old wrapping paper tubes) and bring toy hot wheels cars with song titles on them. Have two children come pick a car and race them down the tracks. Whichever car goes the farthest, is the song you sing! STOP/GO signs to hold up would work great with this activity as they sing. STOP = stop singing piano still plays. GO = sing! It would also be fun to use this singing meter to change the tempo during the song. Make sure the pianist can see it as you sing! 3-Musical Measles This one is SOOOO fun, keeps the kids’ attention and keeps them singing well! Win, win, win. Tell the kids that singing can be contagious (songs can spread joy, peace, and feel the Spirit) just like the Measles!!!! Pass out red stickers to all teachers. Pick a song to sing. After the song, each teacher pick 2 kids from their class to get a stickers. Aaand the stickers get stuck on YOU (or the Pianist!) It’s so fun to see how many stickers “measles” you end up with at the end! Have fun with this one, but make sure to tell them, they only get a sticker if they’re singing their best! 4-Cookie Bake What gets kids attention and motivates like COOKIES?!?!?!?!? Make a poster with 8 ingredients (or however many songs you’d like to review). Each ingredient represents a song to sing. After they sing it (their best!), then a child can come put the ingredient into the bowl. Sniff, sniff. Can you smell them??? At the end of Singing Time, pass out cookies as a handout! 5-Punch out board This one never gets old! Have a reverent child who’s been singing well come and pick a hole to PUNCH! Inside is a song to sing. You could also pick the song yourself and have a ‘way to sing’ inside the holes. Hieeee yah! CLICK HERE to follow instructions on how to make one for your Primary Singing Time! 6-Brother Billy Bubblegum The kids love to see how big the bubble gets! The louder they sing, the bigger the bubble! Can it POP?!?!?!?!? CLICK HERE for the original instructions 7-Cut the Tie The classic shock of cutting a Brother, Bishop’s or Missionary’s TIE in PRIMARY!!! Buy a tie at a thrift shop (or use one that need to be recycled from your husband closet hehe). Prearrange the volunteer Brother/Bishop/Missionary to wear that tie. Have the children review their Primary Songs. The better they sing, the more of the TIE that gets cut off! This would be fun to have 2 ties and have the missionaries come and cut each other’s TIE!!! 8-Bubble Gum Machine Mmmm bubble gum! All you need for this one is some colorful stickers and a bubble gum machine printable (you could also hand draw this on a poster board or on the chalkboard). Remember you’ll need 2 – 1 for Junior and 1 for Senior Primary. Pick the Primary Program song to sing and tell the children if they’re singing their best, they will get a bubble gum to stick in the machine. Pass out the stickers during the song and have them put them up after the song. This is a great motivator to have all the children sit and sing their best. Challenge the Senior to fill it to the top!!! Free Bubblegum Printable HERE 9-Tic Tac KNOW the Program CLICK HERE for the original link we posted of this idea. Primary kids always like a game and challenge!!! 10-Airplane Flight Make paper airplanes with song titles on each. Call up two children and have them throw. Whosever goes the farthest is the song to Review! aaaaaa 11, why not? 11-Secret Agent Review While the kids are singing, you draw a name out of the name container and whoever you draw out you look to see if they are singing. If they are, the kids get a point, if not you get a point. For this Singing Time Review you could have someone come act/dress as a spy and walk to isles during the song. Or even sit by the piano with binoculars! The “spy” add a point to the kids if the name drawn child was singing their best. Review all Primary songs and see who wins! Good luck with your Practicing!!!! Hopefully one of these ideas can help you! -iheartprimarymusic

Start your year off on the right foot with this simple New Testament Primary Program Outline and Song Picker! It has everything you need to help you map out: What songs to teach each month

So your Primary children are sounding great on their Primary Songs this year. Yay!!! Now the Primary Program is coming up and you think you’d like to add a little variety to the Program. A little Spice. Now, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with just sticking to the norm and having all the children stand for each song. As long as the children feel loved in Primary, feel HIS love and the Spirit you are doing it right! But some choristers may feel like they can add a few variations. So, Here is a list of ways you could add something different than just having them all stand up and sing: Ways to add Variety to your Primary Program 1-Let a child sing a solo, or a duet, or trio. I asked my kids one year who would be interested in doing this and a few raised their hands. I wrote their names down and let them spotlight on a couple songs. It turned out so special! 2-Sing a song in a different language such as Spanish or French. 3-Add hand bells. If you are unsure about using these – ask for your Bishop’s approval. 4-Teach the children the sign language to a song. I STILL remember some of the signs to ‘Search, Ponder, and Pray’ from when I was in Primary! 5-Sing a song acapella. This always seems to draw the Spirit to another level. You can so sweetly hear their little voices bearing testimony! 6-Let a whole class come up to sing or recite an Article of Faith. Now that our Sacrament Meetings are shorter, this is a good idea to let everyone participate and save time! 7-Sing a song from an edition of The Friend. 8-Add the Youth for a song. 9-Ask a child or mom/dad to accompany the music – such as a flute or violin, organ, etc. 10-For the closing song, have the congregation join for the last verse.

Review for your upcoming primary program with my NEW Come Follow Me Review poster (I wish I could take the credit for this wonderful idea)! Just print and use in primary the weeks leading up to your primary program! I just LOVED this idea HERE (and so did TONS of you!) so I created a […]

Every month, there are 3 suggested songs to teach the Primary children. Discuss with your Primary President, and other chorister(s), which songs you’d like to focus on for each month. I try to pick one that THEY KNOW pretty well and one that they DON’T KNOW from the suggested songs. Teaching 3 new songs from scratch a month would be a lot for them to learn! So for the 3rd song, I will either sing it during a pick-and-choose Sunday, or as one of the opening songs that month. On the first Sunday of the month, I introduce the NEW SONG (the suggested song that they are unfamiliar with). To make Primary Singing Time interesting and fun and also bring the Spirit, I like to introduce the songs in different ways. I think introducing a song can be the most daunting of Sunday’s! I LOVE repeating songs, doing pick-and-choose activities, and incorporating holiday’s (if you follow our Instagram, it’s packed with those ideas!) But introducing a NEW song seems… I don’t know… boring? I don’t want to lose focus with their short attention spans by just telling them the words and then singing it over and over. So we’ve compiled some ideas as a resource on how to first introduce and help the children learn a BRAND NEW song. One they’ve NEVER heard before. ***With any and every new song, make sure you have the right attitude and prayer in your heart about the message the song will bring. Be enthusiastic, saying something like, “Today we are going to be learning a wonderful song”. You can also explain the words, message and story it conveys. Alright, you’ve waited long enough! Here are the ideas!!!!!! 1-Flipchart or Posters. I pretty much ALWAYS use a poster or flipchart for every song. I feel most children are visual learners and this helps Junior and Senior learn the words through pictures and words. Poster (my preference) Flipchart: (this flipchart is from Finch Family games found HERE) 2-Compound Learning. First, have them LISTEN to the song. This can be played on the piano, your phone through the Sacred Music app, CD, cassette, or Youtube video, etc. Second, let them HUM along to the melody. Third, have them SWAY their bodies (or sway scarves/wands) and hum to the music. Fourth, after showing and explaining the poster board/flipchart, SING the words to them (holding up the Poster or Flipchart). Fifth, have THEM SING along. Sixth, have them use shakers, paper plate drum, or clap/snap the rhythm as they sing along. 3-I sing, You Sing. After explaining the meaning of the song and showing the visual, play the music to the song all the way through. Sing the first line of the song with the piano, have the children repeat. Sing the second line of the song, have them repeat. Put the first and second line together and sing together. Continue on for the whole song. Make sure that before Primary you let your pianist know what you’re planning to do. You could also start with learning the chorus of the song. 4-Guess the Visual. Have the flipchart papers up on the board – all scrambled up and out of their correct order. Sing the first line of the song and have them guess which flipchart paper matches the first line. Continue this for each line of the song and put the flipchart in order. For Senior Primary, you could have word strips of each line of the song (out of order). Sing the first line and have them pick our which word strip is the correct one and have the children put the strips in order as you continue singing the rest of the song. For Senior Primary, you could have word strips of each line of the song (out of order). Sing the first line and have them pick our which word strip is the correct one and have the children put the strips in order as you continue singing the rest of the song. 5-Vanishing Flipchart Papers. For this one, call up as many children as papers you have in the flipchart. Each child holding one paper. Sing the song with children, one flipchart paper at a time. After the whole song has been sung, take away 1 paper and have that child stay standing. Sing the song and point to child as they sing that missing flipchart paper. Continue taking away papers and having them sing the song again until they’re all gone! Keep them up to the challenge using reverse psychology saying things like “Oh no! Can we do it now? (Yes!) Ok, here we go!” or “I don’t know, do you think you can remember this one????” 6-Bubblegum Blobs. For this idea, you’ll need a flipchart or poster hung up on the chalkboard. Sing the song with children (with idea number 2 or 3 on our list above). Tell the children you stepped on some sticky bubble gum on your way to church and thought the gum could help with singing time. Use one pink “gum blob” (pink paper or poster board cut into blob shape) to cover up a part of the song at a time. Sing after each blob is added. 7-Fill in the Blank. Write the words to the song on the chalkboard leaving out a word on each line. So intentionally NOT write some of the words to the song but draw a blank _______ so it can be added in. Sing the first line of the song. Have the children listen and see what the blank word is and fill it in. Continue on for each line of the song. This is a great one to get the children really listening! 8-Disappearing Words (eraser pass). Write the words to the song on the chalkboard. Have the children listen to the song as you point to the words. Next, sing the song with the piano. After, have the Primary sing along. Sing it one more time all together and tell the children to try to remember the words because they are going to start to disappear! As they sing the song, have them pass around the eraser. Whoever ends up with it at the end of the song, gets to erase 2-3 words!!! Sing again and pass the eraser! 9-Use Hand-Actions (or sign language). Sing the first line of the song. Ask the children to think of a hand action to be used for the meaning of the words. Sing the second line and again, ask them to think of a hand-action that would represent the words. Continue on for the whole song and combine all the hand-actions. This is another great idea for getting them to really listen to the words! (You could also sing the whole song together and only do sign language for KEY words). 10- Find It’s Home. Have the words to the song on the board - cut into separate word-strips and in the correct song order. Call up a child and give them a picture that matches up to one of the wordstrips. Have them match that picture to the word strip as you sing each line of the song. Have children sing along as they learn. 11-Picture to Lyric Match. (This one is the harder version of #10 "Find It's Home") Have pictures and song lyrics for each line of the song on the board (like a flipchart, but cut the words out separate from the picture so they’re not together). Sing the first line of the song and have the children try to match the picture to the words. Sing the song over and over until they’re all put in the correct place! 12-Listening Detective. Start by explaining we have a new song case. Listen up detectives!!! We need to find out: Who is it about? What do we learn? How many times does it read “He” or “Love”, etc.? You may want to read the scripture reference at the bottom of the song in the Songbook. 13-Visual Object Lesson. Show a quick visual lesson on what the song is about. Just a quick object lesson before you have them listen to the melody. In the Primary Music Instructions it say’s: For example, the song “Faith” (Children’s Songbook, 96–97) mentions a little seed. You could show the children a seed and talk about how we show faith when we plant a seed; this could lead to a discussion about ways we show faith in Jesus Christ, as described in the song. I also did this for “How Firm a Foundation” years ago. This helps them understand the meaning behind the song. Remember, it’s not just about learning the song and words, but learning and feeling the Spirit. AND now 2 last small tips: 14- Have the Pianist play the song as the interlude so that the children can hear the melody and be familiar with the tune. 15- Find the song in A Children’s Songbook Companion and read what’s suggested! This is a great resource for teaching the songs in the Primary Children’s Songbook. I refer to this book often. Find one HERE. It's seriously been a lifesaver on some Sunday's when I need an idea on how to introduce a specific song! and it also includes visuals on some songs! **Remember! This is the children's FIRST time hearing and learning this song! So don’t feel like a failure if they don’t pick it up right away! As you repeat and repeat this song, they will catch on! Also, remember the purpose is to help draw in the Spirit and let them feel the words and the meaning of the song. Good luck with your introducing your new song! Pray and listen the Spirit as you prepare! You can do this! -iheartprimarymusic

Primary Sacrament Meeting Program...successfully complete! Our Primary Children did such a spectacular job with their parts, and especially the singing for the program. We thought they deserved something fun to celebrate their hard work. Because...ALL EYES WERE INDEED ON THEM! Found this cute monster tag at Bloom Designs and tweaked it just a bit. If you would like to print your own, just right click and save this picture and then print! Added the googly eyes. Using toothpicks made it much easier to adhere the eyes with glue. Awesome, fun tags! Filled a fun treat bag with favorite goodies. 100 bags with tags, somewhat quick and easy. The googly eyes were the most fun to assemble, but took a bit of time. We have the greatest children in our Primary. We're glad ALL EYES WERE ON YOU!
