Singing Time Ideas For Primary

This is a "fan boy" email. Yes, I'm a male. I was called to be the primary chorister about 3 months ago. I think everyone was surprised when I was called and when I accepted. Since that time, I've been trying to find ideas to teach, entertain and help the children to feel the spirit. I've been in the young men's, elders quorum and a member of the bishopric, but never in the primary. I like kids, but usually one at a time. Your lesson plans have been fantastic! I especially enjoyed the idea for "when I am baptized." I love music and it was so fun to teach some music theory to the little ones! Thank you so much for putting these together! They are a huge help and the kids love them! I wanted to let you know that you were appreciated!

You’ve got some major talent and gifts that you’ve been given and are so willing to share. From the bottom of my heart, I’m truly grateful. I’m a music person too, but benefit so much from you. My philosophy for teaching music to children has always been to teach the music and get the music into the kid’s hearts....Your lesson plans help us all to focus on what is truly important, but in a fun and engaging way. Thank you! I get so many wonderful positive comments from my primary presidency and primary teachers about the way I teach. BUT I give a whole lot of credit to you and your website! Thank you!

For several years I have been our primary chorister here in Louisville, Ky. I get a lot of positive feedback for my singing time activities. I owe it all to you! I feel like you have become a friend to me over the years and I enjoy your personality that shines through your blog. Thank you for your service... it was needed. Here's to many more years of singing time success!

THANK YOU soooooo much!! Your visual aids are amazing. I am not the crafty type- what I envision rarely comes out. Your site helps me so much. I was called to chorister and lets say I was not happy at all. Not to mention I am sooo busy between working, my side hustle/small business franchise thing and the work I do with at local middle school and wanting to find a husband (LOL) I could not fathom doing it without your site.

Thank you so much for all your wonderful ideas! I am newly called to teach the music in Primary in our Portuguese-speaking Branch in Luanda, Angola. I have been able to use many of your ideas and our Primary has gone from rarely singing anything other than an opening song to having an actual singing time with all the children loving what we are doing! I am amazed, and grateful, at the quick turn from dis-interest to joyful participation by all of the children.
