My Dad is a perfect Primary song to sing for Father’s Day! It’s quick, simple and shares an important message. Try teaching it to your Primary using these My Dad Primary singing time ideas.
This idea for teaching My Dad was shared on the Primary Music Leader’s FB group. Thank you for sharing!! All I did was add some simple printables to go with it!
I LOVE how Jayni tied this song to our Heavenly “dad.” She said:
I know Father’s Day can be a bit touchy. I lost my dad when I was 13, so it’s been hard for me for quite some time.
I am having my kids sing “My Dad.” However, I am having then also imagine they are singing it to their Heavenly “Dad”.
We went over they lyrics and tried to compare it to Heavenly Father.
My daddy is my fav’rite pal – Why we love Heavenly Father
And I help him ev’ry day – How we can help Heavenly Father (service)
It’s plain to see I want to be like him in ev’ry way – How we can learn and be like Heavenly Father
He teaches me that honesty is best in all I do (self-explanatory)
I’m very glad that he’s my dad, and I know he loves me too – How does Heavenly Father show us He loves us?
I felt it was a good way for every one to be included.

Print on card stock, cut out and laminate.
Most of the illustrations are from Susan Fitch’s illustrations.
Gather several ties and tie them. Tape the circle images to the ties using masking tape.
I used 2 images per tie (8 ties total) just so more kids can have a turn wearing a tie. But you can do as many or as little as you need.
I grew up in a split family. My father wasn’t around much, and when he was, I had a hard time getting along with him, but I still loved him. When I was in Primary and Young Women’s, I sometimes had a hard time with Father’s Day. But I still sang the songs.Looking back, I see that it helped me heal and know how things SHOULD be. They helped me want a better relationship with my father, though it was hard. I still loved him, and wanted those things that we sang about.As you are trying to be considerate in your wards, also remember that even if the parents are divorced, those kids still love both their parents. They should still be able to sing to their dads, even if their dads aren’t there. They should know what a good example is.
Bear testimony that fathers play an important part in Heavenly Father’s plan of happiness.

Thanks for always sharing your fun ideas!
Is there a way to configure your resource library button at the bottom of your posts to take you right to the printables? I always have to go into my email and find the email with the resource link to access the printables.
Hi Tanya!
Thanks for the feedback! The easiest way for you to access my Resource Library is to bookmark the link in your web browser. If you enter your name and email again, are you able to access the content that way as well? Similar to logging in.

Hi,
I’m also having trouble accessing the printables for “My dad”. It doesn’t seem to be on the list in your resource library.
I cannot figure out how to print it. could you email it to me?
I’m in the process of transitioning how you access the Resource Library and that may be giving you a few access issues and I apologize. I’ve emailed you how to access the printables and also attached them to the email. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
