Let your Primary lead a family band as you sing Families Can Be Together Forever. All you need are these family band printables, some unsharpened pencils and ANY Primary songs!
My Primary LOVES leading music, whether they know the correct technique or not! So let them lead anyway they like with these darling family band printables attached to some unsharpened pencils.
Teach the children to conduct the song using traditional conducting patterns (See Children’s Songbook p. 301). Consider letting them use new, unsharpened pencils as batons.You could also prepare the finger puppets illustrated. Invite a child to direct the music by putting their pointer finger through the hole in one of the puppets. or you could enlarge the puppet on a poster board and have a child put an arm through the hole to conduct
For this singing time activity, I created this family band review printable:

Print (enough copies for each Primary child to have one band member) on card stock, laminate (optional) and cut out on the black line. Hole punch the designated hole in each member’s arm then poke an unsharpened pencil about 1/3 of the way through.
Susan Fitch illustrated these family member illustrations. Find the mother and father clip art and the boy and girl clip art. Susan makes us look SO good in singing time!
In singing time, pass out a family band member to each child. Post the words using this flip chart format as needed.
With your family member band pencils, perform multiple activities as you sing your song(s):

The 2nd hour of church has significantly changed for Sunday School, Relief Society, Elders Quorum and all youth classes. However, Primary received a minor change that you might not have noticed.

Hi Camille, this is such a cute idea!! 🙂 I was just wondering if you pass out all of these to the kids and let them take them home or if you gather them again at the end? Also, do they do all the tapping, leading, etc with the pencils attached to the people? I'm guessing yes, but maybe I'm wrong. Thanks!!
Hi Amy!
I’m planning on just Keeper by the pencils afterward for another time. If I give them to the kids I’m sure they’ll just end up in the garbage.
And yes, the people are always attached to the pencils during the activity.
I hope that helps!
