Bring the classic Guess Who? game to life with this simple and interactive Guess Who? Primary singing time idea! Children can optionally dress up with costumes, accessories, and props while singing Primary songs as the mystery child is discovered. So easy yet so fun!
This activity is perfect to use after your program, in the fall! Dig out your Halloween costumes, accessories and/or photo props to allow your Primary to dress the part as they play!
Briana originally shared this idea on the PML FB group and I LOVED it! And this time of year, throw in the option of kids dressing up to make the guessing even MORE fun!

Guess Who Singing Time Idea
Before Primary, hang the Guess Who? printable on the board. Inform the Primary that you are playing a live version of Guess Who!
Optionally, allow children to quickly choose a few items to wear and/or hold.
Send a teacher or leader into the hall (can also be a child but recommend an adult). Also choose one child to be “it” (the child the leader is trying to guess).
Then have all the children stand while you bring the guesser back into the room. Sing any song, verse, or phrase (see the attached list of suggested songs relating to friends) while the guesser studies the Primary. Post the words using this flip chart format as needed.
When the singing stops, have the guesser turn around so they can’t see the children and ask a yes-or-no question (such as, “Is the child wearing a hat or glasses?”).
The children who don’t fit the description sit down. Remind them not to look at the child who is “it.” Continue singing and asking questions until the guesser identifies the child. Then choose a new child to be “it”, a new song to sing and repeat!
Bear Testimony
Bear testimony that no matter how we look or what we wear, the Savior knows exactly who we are, what we need, and how to help us.
