Popcorn review

Thank you Teachers pay teachers for the free clip art. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/FREE-Popcorn-Clip-Art-Bundle-1233832

Place the popcorn bucket on the board,  Attach craft sticks to kids faces, these are the singing styles, and the pieces of popcorn are the songs or verses.  Children choose a piece of pocorn, and a child face and place the popcorn on the bucket top.






Summer time fun! Lemonade Stand.

Oh what do you do in the Summertime???
You can put the name of songs on the lemonade, pinwheels and lemons and have the children put them on the lemonade stand.
Boy and girl can be used to decorate, or print several and have them be song singing styles.
The Clip art was free at Teachers pay teachers.  https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/FreeDownload/The-Lazy-Lemons-Clip-Art-Collection-1154949

Monsters and missionaries Song review

I found this cute idea on http://primarynotes29.blogspot.com/2013/10/missionary-monster-match-up.html
I loved the idea and wanted to adapt it to my own purposes and use my own graphics.   The missionaries are from http://melonheadzillustrating.blogspot.com/.

The monsters come from the website teachers pay teachers.












Trip to the Moon Review

This is a fun interactive way to review one song, or several.  You tell the children to imagine they are going to visit the moon.   Have them pretend to put on their space suits, check their helmets, Oxygen, Etc. 
Then place the Earth on one side of board. You can either use the rocket to move from object to object, or the Boy/girl astronauts. Count down to Blast off!!! Pass planets-(Songs or verses), Aliens-(Songs or verses).
Land on the moon and have them get out and gather moon rocks, Wave to earth etc.




You can do it in reverse as well and land back on earth.

Using board games for Singing time

I have used Kerplunk and Uno  in primary to sing songs.  We own a lot of board games.  The other day I was looking at my fibber game and wondering how I could incorporate  it into a fun singing time the next time I sub for my music leader.  The potential for laughter and fun is great, but how to use it?  In case you didn't know, it has sets of glasses with noses attached. In the game if you get caught telling a lie you add another nose on top of your own.
I thought about " almost correct lyrics" where I print some correct and incorrect ones and if they choose a wrong one, their teacher wears a nose, but I could see them choosing wrong on purpose.  I also thought about teaming up with my music leader and using it as a singing meter.  Every time they sing a review song well, we add a nose and I get to wear it as the silly Primary President... sniffing out super singers?
