Bring the county fair into singing time with this county fair Primary singing time review activity! Combine the fun of farm animals, carnival rides and various fair activities to Primary songs to have your Primary experience a fair during singing time!
I have several other singing time activities in this format and they are ALWAYS a hit in my own Primary! What makes these activities so successful is that they incorporate several key components:
- A fun theme
- Captivating printables
- Movement activities
- Any songs!
It’s a simple way to keep children engaged, especially if you are reviewing the same songs over and over again.
Tina came up with the theme for this singing time review activity that I simply love!! Also, below are more review activities in a similar format so make sure to check those out as well!

County Fair Primary Songs
Write up to 8 songs on the empty signs that the 8 county fair children are holding. Whether they be program songs (which is what I recommend) or something seasonal like these summer/fall themed Primary songs in the Children’s Songbook:
- All Things Bright and Beautiful p. 231
- In the Leafy Treetops p. 240
- My Heavenly Father Loves Me p. 228
- Oh, What Do You Do in the Summertime? P. 245
- Rain is Falling Around p. 241 (change the 2nd verse from “snow” to “sun” or “leaves”)
- It’s Autumntime p. 246
- Autumn Day p. 247
- Happy Song p. 264
County Fair Singing Time Idea
Before Primary, hang all the fair items on the board around the “COUNTY FAIR” page (except the blue ribbon item) to create your county fair.
Choose a county fair child which indicates the song to sing. Post those words using this flip chart format as needed:
As the Primary starts singing, hold the child on the stick in front of the various fair items. Slowly move the county fair child around to the various areas. When the child “visits” a fair activity, do that action listed.
County Fair Actions:
The activies listed are:
- Ferris Wheel: draw head in a circular motion
- Carousel: sing while moving up and down (squat then tiptoes)
- Bumper Cars: fist bump a partner at the end of the phrase
- Cow: “moo” instead of sing
- Pig: snort at the end of every phrase
- Chicken: flap wings to the rhythm of the song
- Pie Eating Contest: sing with lips closed
- Fireworks: look up and “ooh” then “ahh”
- Juggler: juggle the words by singing every other or every 3rd word
- Elephant standing on a ball: stand on chair
- Parade: wave to spectators
- Popcorn: pop in and out of seat
- Cotton candy: wave arms like light and fluffy cotton candy
- Blue Ribbon: vote for your favorite song to see which song wins
Repeat with a new county fair stick child containing a new song.
NOTE: Primary children can optionally come to the board and move the stick child around.
When finished singing all the songs, hang the blue ribbon item on the board. Ask the children to vote for their favorite song to receive the blue ribbon award.
