A fun one I found while searching for ideas! This one is a Senior only game (unless you happen to have a very advanced Junior Primary where all the kids are able to read).
- list of 7-9 songs you want to sing
- blank white notecards (and lots of them)
- markers
Set up:
- Using your list of songs, write each word of each title on a separate notecard. For example, if you were singing "Called to Serve", you would end up with three notecards: called, to, serve.
- I like to use all different colors to mix things up, but you could color coordinate titles if you wanted to give the kids a bit of a hint.
- Another fun hint--try to pick at least one song that has a single word title, like "Faith" or "Baptism". Makes it more of a challenge.
Game play:
- At the beginning of singing time, disperse your notecards through the Primary.
- Try to make sure each child has at least one card, if possible.
- Tell the Primary that each of them have a single word from a title of a Primary song they know. Have them raise their hands if they think they know what song their notecard belongs to.
- Pick a child and have them announce their guess. If they are correct, that child and all the others who have notecards that match that title come to the front and put themselves in the correct order. For example: if the child with "temple" guesses "I Love to See the Temple" correctly, the children with "I", "love", "to", "see", and "the" should join him up front.
- You're likely to get multiple "the"s, "to"s, "and"s, etc. Just pick the first one and send the others down until the next title.
- Sing the song, then collect all the cards and start again.
