How to make LDS Primary Singing Time Bags
Create a Song List
To begin creating your bag, start off with a list of songs. The items you include in your bag will be determined by what is on your song list. The sky is the limit with what songs to add. Here’s what’s on mine:
Each song has either a prop to hold or actions. You can find more details on my Music Bag. My bag is catered to be used by Primary Music Leaders especially given the amount of each item.
Other items to include in the Primary Singing Time bags
I have a list of the top 9 BEST singing time supplies to buy. A few of these would be wonderful to add to your bag!
Scarves and a Gospel Art Book are wonderful additions!!
Other Suggestions include:
- Article of Faith Cards or prompts
- Red solo cups
- Flip charts
- Dice
- Pool noodles
- Mirror for I Am a Child of God
- Digital Playlist
- Kazoos
Put all the items in a bag. Store in the closet for an easy singing time whenever you need!
