This Sunday in singing time I’ll be teaching One in a Million (find the music HERE).
I am combining teaching with one of the Primary counselor. She is going to be working on most of the visuals and I’m staying with just teaching the song.
She is creating a star for each child with their names. These will be placed on our “One in a Million” bulletin board she’s creating. As each child is spotlighted throughout the year, the information they are spotlighted with (a question asking how they are one in a million) will be placed somehow near/on their star.
To introduce the song, our counselor is planning on showing a few “One in a Million” videos found on the church’s website HERE and here’s her little bulletin board she did…
Then I will intersperse the lesson plan that I found HERE. Pretty straight forward. And I found some actions on Sugardoodle HERE (which also includes a second verse which I didn’t teach).
Reader Kari said she taught this song using the book, “What is a Million.” I’d love to incorporate this but I have had trouble locating it. If anyone has details on the author or a link to where I can get this book, I’d love the help!
Download my To-Go lesson plan using my access button at the bottom of this post. I changed a few actions and didn’t do all of the lesson plan suggested above.
These printables are filed on my Resource Library page under Song Title > One in a Million.

I'm a new reader. Thanks for posting all your ideas. Our presidency just decided last night to do "One in a Million" this year too, so thanks for including your plans!
Thanks for the ideas! You are appreciated!
I think it is "How Much Is a Million" by Schwartz and Kellogg. Great idea to use that book. We used the One in a Million idea a couple years ago as our program song motivator. I purchased a large map of the world and mounted it to a tri-fold cardboard display. Each Sunday the kids would report how many songs they had listened to or sung that week (we made a cd for each family). I would put up a star sticker for each song. The goal was to earn a million stars. Of course the map was full by the time the program came and we were nowhere near one million but I figured out how many each star sticker needed to be worth to reach one million and that's how we made it. It was a lot of star sticking but the kids knew their songs! We then sang the song, decorated star cookies and watched the One in a Million videos in Primary as a reward for their hard work. They loved it! Good luck to you!
I don't have Google Docs and only part of the lesson plan is showing up. Is there another way I could get the whole lesson plan?
Hi Lyndsey Haas,
I'd suggest getting a google account – it's free and really simple. Go to Google.com to do that. I've updated the post a bit so maybe that will help as well.

Hi Camille, I got a google account and still I only get one page and the bottom line is cut off. Can you email it to me? I like all the actions you have so far so i don’t want to reinvent the wheel lol. lymsey@gmail.com
Hi Lindsey,
The to-go lesson plan is only one page (I only taught the 1st verse), sorry the bottom line is cut off. This is an old post and I can't edit the document but it should say:
"Unique in every way" right hand out in front, elbow bent, palm up for "unique" same left "way."
There's more information at ths link here if it helps:
