One of my primary’s favorite singing time is also so EASY! They love to play “Stump the Primary” in Senior primary and then Junior primary loves to sing right from my music bag!
When I need a simple singing time lesson to hand over to a substitute, I usually reach for this activity for Senior primary. You can find details HERE. It’s simple to implement and really requires no prep! And besides that, it’s our last week before we delve into program songs for the next SEVERAL weeks so we need a break!
Then for Junior primary (Senior primary also loves these – FYI!), I have my substitute go over all the songs in my music bag (details found HERE)! Those kiddos love to reminisce about their good old nursery days when I pull the music bag out!
If I don’t have quite enough props for all the kids, I’ll rotate and we’ll sing each song through twice.
Do you also find it difficult to find a substitute for this calling? Sheesh! Check out my post HERE for help with finding a sub!

Yes, everyone is so scared to do singing time!
Hee, I think a lot of people find this calling intimidating. I have a couple of great subs I can call, but only a couple.
I have two subs that love to help out but one was just called to be the YW President so I am down to 1! If she isn't available there is no one. I have often wondered if they would let me do a fun 'class' to show people it isn't so scary? 🙂
