Ways to Stand for ‘Stand for the Right’
I was thinking of ways to get the children actively involved in this song, and it occurred to me to have them stand in different ways. I gave these cards orange borders. However, I had in mind the thought that we stand taller when we’re on our knees, and prayer is definitely a way we…

Ways to sing when you can’t sing
During Covid lockdown, we could finally meet together with a lot of restrictions. One of those restrictions was no singing. How could we do Singing Time in Primary but not sing? I came up with these cards and sent them to my Primary Music Leaders in the Stake. The cards still work today even…

“The Church of Jesus Christ” Primary Song
I love that the song “The Church of Jesus Christ” on page 77 in the Children’s Songbook is all about our testimonies and how we can strengthen them. I think it’s important for our Primary children to understand what a testimony is. A basic testimony comprises of simple “I know”, “I believe” or “I testify”…

Easter Singing Time

Noah was Blessed for Choosing the Right
This is what Phil is doing tomorrow in Singing Time:- Animal match-up with pictures from here: http://www.christianpreschoolprintables.com/Pages/FileFolderGames/NoahsAnimals.html Concentration/Memory is really easy. He thought this was a safe activity to do after teaching the children ‘Choose the Right’ for 10 mins. The crazy thing is that he is useless with laminating, so I get that job. …
