Camille's Primary Ideas: Would You Rather Singing Time Review idea Pioneer Edition

Would You Rather is a simple game where players are presented with two hypothetical situations and must choose which they would rather experience. This edition focuses on questions centered around the pioneers!

Review ANY Primary songs you’ve learned so far for the Primary program OR sing pioneer songs which is what I HIGHLY suggest! Scroll down for more details on which pioneer song is perfect for this activity!

Would You Rather Singing Time Cards

For this review activity, you need the 16 Would You Rather cards.  They contain these pioneer related questions:

  • Would you rather eat only homemade whole wheat bread or dried fruit and jerky?
  • Would you rather sleep under the stars or under the wagon?
  • Would you rather churn butter or grind wheat?
  • Would you rather have a pet ox or a pet chicken?
  • Would you rather carry water from a stream or gather firewood?
  • Would you rather cross a river or climb a mountain in a wagon?
  • Would you rather wear pioneer boots or moccasins?
  • Would you rather spend a day dipping candles or molding bricks?
  • Would you rather go to school in a one-room schoolhouse or help on the farm all day?
  • Would you rather sing pioneer songs around a campfire or listen to pioneer stories?
  • Would you rather milk cows or gather chicken eggs?
  • Would you rather cross the plains in the summer heat or in the cold winter?
  • Would you rather sew your own clothes or grow your own food?
  • Would you rather be part of a wagon train or a handcart company?
  • Would you rather see a rattle snake or a coyote on the trail?

Would You Rather Singing Time Review Activity

Before Primary hang the “Would You Rather…” cover page at the top of the board using magnets, tape or magnetic tape.

To play, simply read one of the cards then place it on the board.  Children must choose which option they would rather do.  Then quickly and quietly they must move to a side of the room according to their selection.

Once the 2 groups are formed based on what everyone would rather do, sing the song.  Post the words using this flip chart format as needed.

Repeat with a new card, thus creating new groups while singing a new song as time permits.

Whenever I Think About Pioneers

As mentioned, ANY song(s) can be sung with this activity.  The pioneer song Whenever I Think About Pioneers is a double melody, meaning the 2 different melodies can be sung simultaneously!  Making it perfect for this activity!

One side sings verse 1 then the other side sings verse 2. When the first side sings verse 3, the other side sings verse 4 at the same time. 

Take it one step further and add chimes!  One group sings while the other group plays the chimes.  They switches!

Would You Rather Variations

  • Point to one group then the other, trading as you point.  So only one group sings at a time.
  • Challenge each group to sing the best and afterwards, decide who sang it better.
  • For large Primaries, try having one group face the back wall and the other group face the front wall instead of switching sides.
  • Have one group play chimes while the other group sings.  Then switch!
