Beach Ball Review

Easy Peasy!  One one ball I have a variety of songs listed on each color.  On the other ball I have how they will be singing that song.  Before we begin I have everyone hold up their right hand and then give me a thumbs up.  The right thumb is the one that does the picking.  Where ever that right thumb lands is what we will sing.  I get to involve two kids with this activity.  One catches the ball with the song titles and the other child catches the ball with how we will be singing.  This is fun to do in the Summer Time.

Singing Measles

I LOVE my calling as Primary Chorister.  I love figuring out new and fun ways to get the kids to sing.  I had seen this idea on the LDS Primary Chorister Page on Facebook and I knew I needed to try it out.  It is Singing Measles.  The teachers are given stickers to pass out and after each song that is sung, if the teacher feels that the kids sang loud/well enough, the kids are given stickers.  The kids can put the stickers on themselves or on their teacher or on me.  Most of the kids thought it would be great to put them on me.  (Of course!!)  I only gave them two rules, #1: no stickers in my ears and #2 no stickers up my nose.

WOW!  I could not believe how GREAT the kids sang!  I had such a great time in Primary!!  I got a lot of looks from everyone after church, but I wanted to show off how well our kids sang.
My GREAT Primary Kids!

Father's Day

Father's Day is another simple, fun song time.  A variety of ties with songs (on post it notes) on the back.  I blind fold the child and let them attempt to "Pin the Tie on Daddy."
