It’s time to take a break from program songs and bring in a little extra LOVE to singing time…
The March 2017 Friend had this FANTASTIC Love-Your-Neighbor Adventure game HERE which I easily converted it into a Valentine’s Day singing time activity! You’ll be singing LOTS of a variety of songs so make sure to post the words (see how I do that HERE) and you can also sing along to the songs played on a CD if you need extra support!
I resized the game board so it will print as a 20×30 so you can have it printed at Costco! If you print at Costco you will need the JPEG file. I’ve also got a PDF version if you go with another printer. If you want to print it at home, I have a tiled version that prints on 8 sheets of paper (I’d recommend card stock, laminating then either mounting on a poster board or taping it together). If you really want to simplify, recreate the game board on the chalkboard and just print the game cards and markers below!
Then with each card, I assigned a song that went along with the suggested scenarios:
This document includes the songs I added. I also have a blank one in case you want to write in different songs. Print and cut these out, fold them in half with the words facing out, and either tape them closed or laminate them.
These are simple game markers I created that you can print out on card stock, laminate (optional) and either attach a magnet to the back (tape will work too) or you can just put a magnet on top while you play.
To play, simply follow the instructions on the game board:
Each player chooses a small object to use as a game marker. Roll a dice to move. When you land on a question mark, choose a card from the pile. Read the question. What would you do? Then flip the card over to read what the prophet and apostles teach and then sing the song. With the person sitting next to you, act out what you would do or say then sing the suggested song:
Here’s a list of the songs:
- I Want to Live the Gospel p. 148
- Hum Your Favorite Hymn p. 152
- Keep the Commandments p. 146
- Love One Another p. 136
- The Word of Wisdom p. 154
- I’m Trying To Be Like Jesus p. 78
- Listen, Listen p. 107
- Kindness Begins with Me p. 145
- Remember the Sabbath Day p. 155
- We Are Different p. 263
- Repentance p. 98
- Choose the Right Way p. 160
- Every Star Is Different p. 142
- I Am Like a Star p. 163
- Fun To Do p. 253
Play in small teams (up to 4 using the markers I created) or just play with 1 marker as a whole primary!
I’ll be bringing in one of my big foam dice (but regular dice will totally work!). Find more details on where I got these

I absolutely LOVE bringing in

If I divided the primary into 4 different groups what I need to print the game board at Costco 4 times? What are you doing for this game? One game board, or 4?
I’d recommend one game board with 4 markers and divide the primary into 4 teams, assigning each team a marker. I hope that makes sense.
