Singing Time Activity
Play hot potato while you sing ANY song! Check out the list of Mother’s Day songs in the back of the Children’s Songbook for ideas! Post the words as needed like I do HERE.
Pass around one picture (or both for added difficulty!) as the Primary sings. When the pianist stops randomly, the child(ren) holding the picture(s) gets to say one thing they like to do with (or just about) their mother or grandmother.
Repeat until everyone’s had a turn to talk about their mother/grandmother.

this sounds awesome. This Sunday is my first day as chorister so this would be a fun way to kick it off! Thanks for the idea!
This was fun today! I modified it with Jr primary so it wasn't competitive or "hot potato" style (I've done that before and they get too distracted trying to pass that they don't sing) so I just let them choose something from the basket and if they could all answer what word came next when the piano stopped, I let them dress the mom (our primary president). They loved it and didn't mind singing the same song 8 times in a row! In Sr. I made it a competition between the 2 sides of the room and they had to answer the next 2 words (1 word per team) to get their item on the mom. They all loved it, thanks for the idea.
