I use these in planning my every weekly Sunday Primary Singing Time, so I thought it would be nice to share.  I'm not sure if any else plans this way, but I figured since I made it, I will post it for use for all of you!

I apologize in advance that it's not in PDF format.  We had to get a new computer and haven't installed Word to get in that format.  So these are jpegs you can save to your computer and print :)

I will add the PDF link file when I can!

 It's that time of year again!!!

Time to start thinking about the NEW YEAR and begin making plans!

One of the things I like to start out doing is deciding what songs to sing from the suggested song list (HERE on the church's website).  

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

To make it pretty and in a different colorful format, I like to create the song list on it's own sheet.

And, as always, I am sharing it with YOU, my fellow Singing Time friends!  So here ya go!

 Job was a fly guy.

Like creases in a paper, TRIALS can make us stronger and help us fly!

In Singing Time, quickly discuss how creases make paper stronger - and the quote above.  Make paper airplanes with song titles written on the wings.  Call up two children to throw two (one each child) across the room.  Whichever plane goes farthest, is the song to sing!!! 

I plan to pass out this handout at the end of Singing Time.  My hope is that they will take it home to discuss Job and read the scriptures with their family - and of course, have a paper airplane throwing contest!!!!!

 Water Balloons!

That should grab their attention!

This summer has been soooo HOT!!!  Let's cool down!

Bring 8 water balloons to Primary filled with a song to sing inside.  I ended up just putting a number (not the actual song title) inside.  I taped the top and bottom  of the small paper to make it water proof. 

Call up a child to come pop the balloon and reveal the song inside!  Also, bring some fun summer accessories and let another child come up and help lead the song.  Some ideas are a sun hat, sunglasses, towel, swim flippers, goggles, etc.

 David & Goliath : Primary Singing Time Idea

Before David faced the giant, Goliath, he gathered FIVE smooth stones from a brook (1 Samuel 17:40).

For Primary, I chose a name from our choosing sticks.  That child got 5 (paper) stones - 5 chances to hit Goliath.  

If they hit him, they got to pick a song from the board.  If they missed, I chose the song to sing.

My kids had a lot of fun with this and in between songs I made sure to talk more about David and his courage, faith, and bravery.  

At the end, I made sure to tell them that this is not only a neat story in the scriptures - but that we can learn from it.  When we are faced with challenges, the Lord with give us strength to accomplish them if they be His will.

 Father's Day Primary Singing Time Idea

I drew different dad's on the chalkboard and taped paper ties to their collars.  Each tie had a song to sing on the back.  

At the end of Primary, I told the kids I made a deal with a member of the bishopric that if we sang our monthly Primary song we were learning (I Will be Valiant) reeeeally good, that he would let us cut off his "favorite" tie.  

Obviously, they did it!!!

This a fun shot my Primary President took.  (This is my husband:)) It was a lot of fun!
