Christmas Tree

I needed something simple and easy on Sunday.  What is more simple and easy than a Christmas Tree with ornaments?  Each ornament has a song we reviewing/singing and the kids take turns coming up to pick their ornament/song.

Winter Ways to Sing

Primary kids get wiggly and need new ways to get out their wiggles.  I found these cute Winter Action Cards on Oopsey Daisy.  It is always fun to sing Do As I'm Doing with new actions!  Not all of them work for a Primary Song Time setting, but most of them do.

Thankful Charades

Thankful Charades

I did this last year; it was fun!  I found this idea on Primary Singing Time, but altered it because I did not have the turkey.  I thought playing charades would be a little more challenging (and funny) to do.

Thankful Turkey

I wanted something super simple to do this last Thanksgiving.  I came up with some things that we are thankful for, then asked a question about the item we are thankful for, and then gave a song to go along with the item we are thankful for.

Thanksgiving Sing-a-Story

I found the Thanksgiving Sing-a-Story from Camille's Primary Ideas, she also has the document saved on the internet here.  It is already ready for you.  You just need to print it out and put it in a folder.  It takes the kids through the very first Thanksgiving and has Primary songs to go with each of the different events.  Super simple since it is already prepared for you.

Status Update

Today during Sacrament Meeting, the 1st Councilor from the Stake Presidency was visiting and also gave the second talk. He got up and asked for the Primary's help singing "A Child's Prayer." I freaked out when I finally processed in my brain what he was asking us to do. We haven't sung that song for months! I got all the kids up there and they sang GREAT! I was blown away with how well they sang. I am also grateful for technology and JollyJenn's flipcharts which I quickly put on my iPad. We got a lot of compliments afterwards of the great impromptu singing.

Pocket Match

What should you do with all those old jeans you have?  Cut their pockets out and make a Pocket Match!  The pockets are a perfect size for a 3x5 card with a song title placed inside.  I have also used this for a matching game.  I love when I am able to use my sewing skills to help with this calling!
