FLIP CHARTS

Flip Charts For Primary Singing Time

Check out these singing time “flip charts.” They vary slightly from the norm as these don’t contain any images or illustrations.  Words only.  They take up less space, less ink, are hands free and are WAY more versatile this way!  But I promise you will LOVE using them!

Camille's Primary Ideas: post the words instead of using flip charts

Stop Singing Solos!

One of the best singing time helps is posting the words to almost EVERY song you sing in Primary by using a flip chart.  Sing a wide variety of songs in the Children’s Songbook, many of which are unfamiliar to most of the Primary and teachers (sometimes myself included!).

So to make sure you’re not up singing a solo every Sunday, post the words to most songs (unless it is a very familiar one or you’re working on memorizing it as part of your singing time activity).

Teachers will THANK YOU and actually SING because they appreciate having the words available!  Try it!

TIP:  If posting words isn’t feasible in your Primary room for whatever reason, try posting 2 binders and having a “helper” help turn the pages.

Another added benefit of posting the words is there’s no need for kids to hold something similar in their hands (whether in a booklet form or on cell phones – ugh!!).  Items in hands tend to become distractions.

Camille's Primary Ideas: posting words for singing time, singing time flip charts

How to Post Words

In this format, all the words to post (or flip charts) are landscape in order to be hung over your music stand like pictured above.  No holding required!
 
Keep all the songs you sing on a particular Sunday, in a binder and rotate them out each week as needed (find more details on creating a singing time binder HERE).  When not in use, save them at home (check out this filing system HERE).
 
I do additionally like to write with a pencil the song title, verse and page number on the backside for easy reference when necessary.
 

To post the words simply flip your binder over the back of the music stand.  The words face out to the Primary that I’ve placed in sheet protectors.  I prefer the non-glare best, like these from Amazon (Amazon affiliate link):

Use them in the Program

Do this during the Primary presentation too!  The congregation has no idea the kids are using words and each little pair of reading eyes is on you.  A total win-win!

Posting the words isn’t because the kids haven’t memorized the words (because trust me, we do our best to memorize all year long!).  We usually just have a few semi-active kids show up for the presentation and this way, they are still able to participate.

I have also had comments from the congregation that they cannot believe how the children all have their eyes on me ;).  It’s our little secret!

Below is a list (in progress) of all the words I put in this format.  Make sure you search for the correct song title.

    Thank you for sharing this idea! Our attendance regularly fluctuates with children who can't make it consistently, or who haven't been to primary before, so it's always a challenge picking songs that anyone but me will know. 🙂 I typically pass out copies in senior primary, but maybe I should start just posting words like this so it doesn't draw attention to anyone, and I don't feel as pressured to have them learn songs word-perfect, rather than focusing on the spirit and doctrines of the songs.

    Makes sense. How many times have we all sung the same hymns in Sacrament meeting…but we still look at the words! I tried this last week. But, the game we were playing caused the songs to be sung in a random order. I got tired of flipping through looking for the right song. I can see how it would work perfectly if I was going in a predetermined order. I'll try it again!

      Just a tip for flipping through the words if they'll be sung in random order – sometimes I'll put those little colored sticky tabs on the end of the page protectors and write the page number or some sort of numbering system so I can quickly get to to the right song. I've definitely thumbed through many a time – it can be a pain.

    Love this idea. As a side note, you can find the lyrics of the songs typed out on LDS.org and copy and paste. Saves time typing it all out, just format the way you want it (size/landscape/etc.)

    Hi Camille…I've spent the last hour perusing through your blog and copying so many of the resources you've shared here. I was just called as the primary chorister in our new ward 2 weeks ago and this Sunday is my first day to begin this new calling. I AM SCARED TO DEATH!! I am not a singer (terrible, in fact)…I can lead and read music though from playing the piano–but I am so nervous about this new calling and have had some sleepless nights worrying if I can do this.

    I can't tell you what a blessing it was today to stumble onto your blog. Thank you so much for your willingness to share all this wonderful information and resources. I'm so grateful.

    Camille – I really appreciate all your ideas and help with the bells. Easter Hosanna went over so good! Thanks for getting it to me in time for Easter. The Primary Presidency loved it so much we are adding it to the Primary sacrament program. My Primary children have loved the bells so much I have now formed a bell choir! We meet once a week and they are learning "If I Listen With My Heart" to perform during the sacrament program.
    Your method is so easy and the children catch on so fast!! THANK YOU! – Dena

    This may be a weird question but when you sing unfamiliar/new songs for the opening song do you do a quick explanation of the song or ever have the pianist play through the whole song for a long introduction?

    Also, does your primary sing closing songs? I noticed you don't have them on your singing time schedules

    Reply
  72. camille@camillecreates.com

    Hi Celes!

    If the song is new or unfamiliar, my pianist will usually play it several times as our prelude. When we begin, she will just play an introduction and we'll just plow through it. The kids will read what they can and pick up the melody from me. It's not perfect, but it works and I'm able to expose them to new songs this way without taking time away from singing time.

    As for closing songs, we don't do them but if we did, I'd just pick a 2nd song similar to how I do the opening – one that would match that week's theme, again being able to expose the kids to unfamiliar songs. I feel like the program songs are just beat to death all year long that I don't like singing them more than we absolutely have to!

    I hope that helps some.

    Thank you SO much for this idea (and many others). I have suffered some memory loss issues and also have horrible eyesight. The Primary book is so tiny, I often struggle with seeing the words. I print out two copies of these songs and have one facing the kids and one facing me. On my copy, I will also mark in the corner of each song if it's 3/4 or 4/4 and I also put a dot under the word that is on the first beat.
    I am wondering if you have done "The Lord Gave Me a Temple"? I didn't see it on the list.
    Thank you again!!!

    When I do the program in the fall, I also do exactly what you do with words both facing out and facing me. It has really simplified conducting. I've added "The Lord Gave me a Temple." I'm always amazed when ones like this pop up that I don't have words for! Thanks for helping me to complete my list. It makes me happy to hear that my effort isn't in vain!

    Hi Monica!

    My regular kids pretty much KNOW the program songs by heart. It's my irregular kids that I post the words for so I always post words, regardless of how well-known they are by the primary as a whole. If I am able to help the semi-active kid(s) feel included by posting the words, it's worth it to me, even if all the kids end up reading them when we perform. So in short, I always post words during the program.

    I know a few other choristers who disagree with me and want everything sung from memory so to each their own. You just have to decide what is best for your primary. I hope that helps!

    ~Camille

      That is great I think it helps.. We all use the hymn book when we sing … but I was wondering as far as do you stand in front of the pulpit so they can see the words or where do you physically stand? May be a silly question

      Reply
  82. camille@camillecreates.com

    Monica, not a silly question at all! I know all chapels are a bit different, but I usually sit on the front middle pew/bench off to the side toward the piano and when it's time to sing, I stand on a riser we have (about 6 inches, maybe 1 foot tall) and raise the stand up so it sits right above the privacy wall so the kids can read it from the choir seats. It's a little higher than I normally would have it but it's still fine.

    Hi Camille!
    You have no idea how much I LOVE your blog! Seriously, Ive only been doing this for a few weeks now, but you have already saved me so much time! Thank you for being willing to share so much information with us.

    Tomorrow I'm planning to do your "sing a story" for thanksgiving coming up. I would wait a few more weeks, but we are going to need to start doing Christmas songs since we are singing at the ward party on the 10th. 🙂
    Anyway, there are a number of songs that Im pretty sure my kids are unfamiliar with. I'm planning to post the words for the senior primary, but Im just curious how this works in Junior primary. Do you still post the words even though most of them can't read them? Do you go over the words briefly with the younger ones before you sing? Just trying to figure out the best way to handle the songs that they aren't familiar with. If you could let me know your awesome ways that would be amazing!
    Thanks again for all you do!

    Hi Heather!

    I always still post words regardless of my audience. I've found that a few of the kindergarteners and most of the 1st graders in Jr. can read – that's almost half the Jr. primary. The words also help the teachers sing (a HUGE bonus so I'm not singing a solo every week). Since the youngest kids (usually just the sunbeams and CTR 4/5's) can't read, sometimes I'll pass out simple props for them to hold and they can listen for certain words and raise their prop/stick as they hear the words or I'll make up actions as we go along and ask them to follow me. Or echoing works well with them – you sing a line and they sing it back to you (that works well if you have a puppet of some sort).

    Honestly, I don't focus tons of my attention on getting the little kids to sing. Even if they KNEW the words, they probably wouldn't sing anyway ;). My goal with them is just to familiarize them to the songs. They will pick up what they can but I'd cater to the older kids who you know will help carry the volume when you perform.

    I hope that helps some. If you still have more questions, please let me know.

    I tried this one Sunday and I felt kind of clumsy doing this. Between trying to lead, doing hand motions for our younger kids, and flipping the pages of the posted words, I was having a hard time keeping up. Any suggestions? We have a combined primary so I can't just rely on posting words with younger kids.

    Hi Melanie,

    I post the words in Jr mostly for the teachers and the older kids who can read (which in my primary is over half of the kids). When I'm working on teaching a new song, I may or may not post the words to that song. Usually I only work on one (maybe 2) verse/chorus per week and with this format, I wouldn't need to flip many pages while I'm teaching.

    What works for me won't work for everyone. You'll find your grove and figure out your own style. You may find that you don't like posting the words at all and that's okay.

    Hi Melanie (and anyone else with a similar question),

    I was feeling like I had to be really organized about which songs I was going to display and put them on the lighter end of the binder, in fear the binder would fall off the stand! :o)

    Around Christmas time, when we were singing a bunch of unfamiliar songs, I found success in using push pins to display 1-3 songs on the bulletin board all at once. Before singing, I would point to which song (row of pages) we were going to sing.

    Now, I don't have too many that I need to display in this way (because we are doing ASL, or I have a flip chart, or other activity), but I like doing the bulletin board method for an unfamiliar opening song.

    I have thought about anchoring my binder with heavy-duty binder clips or a super thick rubber band. :o)

    I agree with Camille, you definitely will find your own style. :o)

    Ive often used this to print out songs for our primary. Another way I post words at times is to bring in a tv from the library, I connect my phone with a cable to the tv (so that what I see on my phone the kids see on the TV) and then I just use the words from the lds music app.

    I have been printing my Singo cards, putting them in sleeves, printing words to all the songs, etc. Thanks so much for your hard work. I can see how putting words to every song would help visitors feel more welcome and those who miss a few weeks an opportunity to learn the words. Love the idea someone had of using the TV, but we have too many wards using resources and I couldn't rely on that one. Great idea. So, I plan to use Camille's low-tech idea and print the songs. Then, after Christmas everything will be filed and saved for next year. Love it!! I will check out your organization system. Thanks again.

    For games with multiple songs that may come up at random, how do you organize your binder so that flipping goes smoothly? Or like your wiggle worm jar, there are a lot of familiar ones on your printed list that I wouldn't post words for, but others like "go the 2nd mile" that I've never heard of. I don't want to fumble around looking for words but I want to post them!

    For multiple songs chosen at random during singing time, I'll usually put the words in alphabetical order in my binder, then put a little sticky tab like these ones here:

    https://www.amazon.com/eBoot-Sheet-Sticky-Marker-Pieces/dp/B01GNK8FB6/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1515691038&sr=8-5&keywords=sticky+tab

    I'll write the first word of the song title on each tab (just because there's not much room) and attach them to the very bottom of the 1st page of each of the songs so they poke out along the bottom and fan out when hung over the music stand. Kind of like what I did to my songbook once here:

    I hope that helps!

    Hi Camille!

    Do you post your actual program for the fall? Like where you put talks and lines the kids read? (Embarrassed to ask, but this is my first time doing anything like this…and I'm not even musical, but for some reason I'm doing this calling!)

    Hi Emily L.

    I don't write the program so I usually don't share it – but I'm pretty sure there are are LOTS of programs out there if you do some Google searching. This is just my opinion but I hope you aren't having to write the whole program. Your presidency should be doing most of that. Being in charge of the music portion of the program is a big job itself.

    You're awesome! Thanks for the feedback. I am writing the whole program, but that's really okay. We have a little branch, and I'm happy to do it. Will probably mean it's a bit music-heavy, but I'm learning as I go!

    Thank you so much for posting all of these! Is saves me so much time in typing them up myself. I noticed on Mother, I Love You (207) that the last line of the first verse is wrong. Your document says "Mother I love, Mother, I do" when it should say "Mother, I love you, I love you, I do." It was an easy fix for me, but I thought I would let you know. Thanks again!

    Hi Camille,
    First of all, thank you for your wonderful blog! This is my go-to website every week. Your creativity has been such a blessing to me in my calling.
    Secondly, the lyrics for "Mother, I Love You" are a little messed up. The beginning of verse 2 ended up at the end of the verse 1 page. Just wanted to let you know. 🙂

    I don't know what your policy is on songs not in the songbook, but we got approval from our PP and Bishop to sing "I Will Be What I Believe" by Blake Gillette. Just wondered if you had words typed out for that already?

    I absolutely love all you do primary! I follow you every week! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! You are an angel! I was wondering if you could please type the posting words for the song I will be what I Believe by Blake Gillette? There are so many wards using this song for the program this year. It would be really really great. Thank you sooo much!!

    Do you happen to have Popcorn Popping? I looked under "P" and "I" (For I Looked out the window). Maybe it's listed somewhere else? Thank you so much! My teachers really love when I post the words (most were baptized as adults, so they aren't as familiar with the primary songs!

    Thanks so much! Also, in the a recent Friend, they added Pres. Nelson's name at the end of Latter-Day Prophets, just wondered if you were able to update "Latter-Day Prophets" to include those new words. The last phrase is (after Thomas S. Monson): "Now we have Russell M. Nel-son". Thank you for all you time in sharing these resources with us!

    Hi Camille, I just wanted to let you know that Tell Me, Dear Lord is missing the link. Thanks for all you do. You make my life so much easier and I excel at my calling thanks to your wonderful ideas.

    Thank you for all your hard work and fabulous ideas!! I see "Tell Me, Dear Lord" but can't click on it to print the words. Just wondering if you could fix the link. Thank you!!!!

    Thank you for providing this resource. The past two years I have slowly been adding to my collection. I sat down Sunday with the new curriculum songs and made a list of those I didn't have. I am hoping you will soon add Hymns 140, Did you Think to Pray, Hymn 191 Behold the Great Redeemer Die and Hymn 136 I Know that My Redeemer Lives. These were listed in the songs for 2019 and I would love to keep the same formatting but if you are too busy that is totally understandable and I will continue to appreciate all you've done thus far.

    Such a great idea! Post the words!! So simple yet so affective.

    We are singing "If I were a Shepherd" and "Angels we have heard on high" I would love to have these words in your format if possible.

    Hi chadandash,

    I've added Angels We Have Heard on High. If you can get me the lyrics for If I Were a Shepherd, that would be helpful as it's not in the Children's Songbook or Hymn Book. Thanks!

    Hi Coralee,

    I've added Joy to the World and If I Were A Shepherd (by Stephanie Adams). The link you posted didn't work so this version is what I found. I hope it's correct.

    Hi Camille~
    I cannot find the link with the three new hymns you mentioned you added for 2019. I was looking under the letter for each one (D- Did you think to Pray, B- Behold the Great Redeemer Die and I- I Know that My Redeemer Lives. Any help on where to go would be appreciated.
    THANKS A MILLION

    Hi Unknown!

    Oh my! I added them on my "Index" tab instead of here under my "Posting Words" tab. I've changed it. Thank you for helping me correct my mistake!! I wonder about myself sometimes!

    Hey, I'm really grateful for your singing time ideas. They are great; you are gr8. But I hate to point out an error (you did ask for us to do that, though).
    In the song "I Will be What I Believe"….. Helaman is spelled Heleman. Not a biggie, and I feel mean for this, after all the work you've put into these resources.

    I've been writing up song charts like yours since I became Primary President a year or so ago, because I really didn't like the dog-eared cardboard charts that I had to hunt through. I started laminating A4 sheets, but figured I was going to go through a TONNE of pouches.
    So I now do what you do, but I put them in folders (numbered and indexed) that stay in the Primary cupboard.
    I also print a copy of the words which go on the back so the leader can see the words, too. That's printed on white paper, while the words the children see are printed on coloured paper. The index on the front of the folder indicates the colour of the song, so it's easy to find quickly.

    Hi Boss Lady!

    Thank you for letting me know! I'm prone to mistakes to I appreciate it when I'm able to get errors corrected. I'm happy to hear you've found a system that works for you! Great idea!
