Something’s
in the air… feels like a hint of autumn, excitement for hearing from our Apostles
and PROPHET and of course… rain!
It
seems like it ALWAYS rains on General Conference weekend!
It’s
always wonderful to anticipate hearing from our Prophet and Apostles! To help the children get ready to watch
General Conference and recognize faces of our leaders, here are a few ideas to
implement into your Primary Singing Time J
#1 – SUITED
for Conference
Call up a child who is being reverent to come help lead the next song. As they lead, let them wear a suit coat/shirt and tie and sing in the microphone!
This idea is easy peasy - all you really need is a suit and and tie! aaand know how to tie the tie (don't look close at this picture, because I obviously don't know how!)
You looked! gah!
But seriously, what child doesn't LOVE using the microphone, right??
#2 – “PRIMARY” Tabernacle Choir
Call 2-6 children to come to the front of the Primary room. Line them up, give them the sheet music in a folder and let them be examples of singing their best for the song!

Girls on the left, boys on the right. Just like the Tabernacle Choir!
This could be really neat if you could do Primary Singing time in the Chapel
and use the ORGAN!!!!!
#3- MATCH
THE APOSTLE
Play Memory Match with the Apostle’s pictures! When a match is found, read a short fact/info about that apostle and then sing a song! You may want to shorten the matching game by using only 6 Apostle’s pictures. Twelve might be too much matching to find!

#6- Help PICK
THE TIE for Conference
Our Apostles
need help picking a tie to wear for Conference!!!!! Put
pictures of the 12 Apostles on the chalkboard. Display paper ties on table
or on the chalkboard (to the side).
Choose a child to come tac/tape a paper tie
under their picture.
Each tie represents a
song to sing. You could either put a number representing a song or the
actual song title on the back of the tie. It would also be fun to put a 'star' on the back of one of ties. If they pick the 'star' they get to sing their favorite song - or the whole Primary does 5 jumping jacks!
Sing the song and read a fun fact about that Apostle.

#7- LATTER-DAY PROPHETS
Learn/Sing the song Latter
Day Prophets.
The current version with
Russell M. Nelson can be found at this website:
You can put up pictures
of all the Latter Day prophets and point to them as you sing. The old pictures
are always fun to see.

Prophet Printables and HERE for half sheet size Prophet Printables. Yes, they have their names listed on the BOTTOM!!! (I get mixed up sometimes too!)
Ideas for teaching this
song can be found on our site listed HERE.
#8- GENERAL CONFERENCE WORD SCRAMBLE
Write down some words you typically hear during General Conference on separate pieces of paper – mixed up. For example, you’d typically hear the word PRAYER, so write RYAREP. Have the children guess what the real word is and sing a coordinating song.

Some examples:
PRAYER – song: A Child’s
Prayer
BOOK OF MORMON – Book of Mormon Stories
FAITH – Faith
TESTIMONY – The Wise Man and Foolish Man
JESUS CHRIST – I Feel My Savior’s Love
TEMPLES – I love to See the Temple
BAPTISM – When I am Baptized
BOOK OF MORMON – Book of Mormon Stories
FAITH – Faith
TESTIMONY – The Wise Man and Foolish Man
JESUS CHRIST – I Feel My Savior’s Love
TEMPLES – I love to See the Temple
BAPTISM – When I am Baptized
And there’s soooo many
more options for scrambled words!
#9- 'I SPY' TEMPLE SQUARE
Display pictures of
things you’d see near Temple Square around the Primary Room. For example, the Temple, the Tabernacle,
Conference Center, Moroni, flowers, Statue of Jesus (Christus), missionaries,
etc.
Each picture represents a song to
sing. Choose a child to come pick one and then sing the song.
It would be fun to tell
the children to “put on their binoculars” (use fingers to shape two circles –
like binoculars) and look for all the things you could see on Temple Square!
#10- GENERAL CONFERENCE
SONG HUNT
Before Primary starts, hide song titles around the room in the specific spots located on Clue: Microphone, Chalkboard, Chair, etc.

During Singing Time, call up a reverent
child. Read Clue #1 (Clue printables included below).
Let them look and find
the song title (they can get help from the other Primary children if needed), once they found it, then sing that song.

We hope
these fun ideas can help inspire you for your singing time and help your
Primary children get ready for General Conference!!!
