Continue teaching the second verse to Dare to Do Right with another clever code! However, this code is completely different from code used to teach the first verse!
This Dare to Do Right singing time idea for the second verse comes from A Children’s Songbook Companion. I LOVE this book and glean ideas from it regularly!!

Place the Dare to Do Right code for the 2nd verse on the board. Post the words using this format as needed.
As you sing through the 2nd verse, see if the children can figure out which words belong on the lines.
If they need a hint, pitch lead with your hand as you sing it. The lines are essentially the melody of 2 phrases found in the second verse (the first verse too if we’re being technical!).
Sing it through a few times to help figure out the code then repeat to check answers.
TIP: Laminate the code or place in a sheet protector. Then use a dry erase marker to fill in the words on the lines as they are discovered.
Once the words are figured out on the code, place the second page containing definitions on the board.
Have the Primary decide which definition goes to which code. Draw a line using chalk or marker to the correct answer.
Quickly discuss these statements with some examples and sing again.
Challenge or “dare” the children to dare to do right every single day no matter the circumstance.
To simplify for Jr. Primary, use the code with the definitions at the beginning, and simply discuss what each phrase means using the definitions as you decipher the codes.
Give lots of hints to help with the code, pitch leading with your hands as you sing. Pitch lead using bodies to decipher the code. Then continue to pitch lead the entire song.
