Ultimate List of Different Ways to Sing

Ultimate List of Different Ways to Sing for REPEATING a Song!!!

The children won’t get bored with all the possible ways to sing any reviewing song!  These are also a great way to practice for the Primary Program.  You can plug these in with any pick-and-choose singing activity, on a spinner board, write them on a slip of paper and put them in a box, or just write them on the board and let them pick!

Be a Hula Dancer
Plan an Air Guitar




And one last thing, some of these actions are more appropriate for certain Primary songs than others.  Use your best respect/reverence judgement for certain songs being sung :)

Ooooo Aahhhhh Face Factor

These faces were bought from 'Copy That' in American Fork.  It was quite the drive for us to go there but it was worth it!  They have a bunch of different visuals that could be used for Primary! Their address is 218 N. West State Road (UT).

I used these faces last week for Singing Time.  And in case you are wondering why some of these look like they were colored by 8 year old's, it's because they were :)  I had my Achievement Day girls color them for me.
