This simple word nerd review singing time activity will have your primary kids vying to be the nerd! But to be the word nerd, they will need to know the words to the primary songs!
Pull this review activity in a pinch! All you need is a list of song(s) to review, a pair of glasses (and these are even optional!), something to write with a sticky notepad. I’ll be reviewing our January – July program songs with this activity.
Songs To Review
Word Nerd Activity
Have a child come up and put on the glasses and face the primary. Write one word from your chosen song on a sticky note with a marker and put it on their forehead (hence the name of the activity – they look like a total nerd!).
As the primary sings the song, they do not sing that word and the “nerd” child has to guess what word is on their forehead. Once guessed, switch out the “nerd” and a new word and repeat!
TIP: For For younger primaries, have the “nerd” child go out in the hall. Read to the primary the word on the sticky note. Sing that word word very loudly to help the child easily guess the word.
Variations
- Try using the headbands from the game Headbands to place words in
- Word Quing

I used this Sunday and the kids loved it! Thanks for the idea!
I do this with an old riding helmet and post the word on the helmet and call it Helmet Hero. 🙂
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!
Hello Camille,
Can you create a singing time activity and words to go with Ester, For Such a Time as This? I am in need of ways to teach this beautiful song for our upcoming primary.
Thanks,
Hi Connie!
I don’t have any content for “For Such a Time as This.” There are so many new songs released that it’s difficult to create content for them all. Not to mention I have a worldwide audience and many of those songs aren’t available in different languages.
Try searching the Primary Music Leader’s FB group, there are a few resources available. Hopefully that helps a little.
