List all the titles of the songs that you will be singing for the Primary Sacrament Meeting Program. List them on a poster board or large scroll of paper that the children can easily see. Leave room to put a "grade" at the end.
Write the numbers 1 through 10 on 4" squares or circles (colored paper is great)
Sing each one of the songs. As you finish singing each song, ask a few children to grade how well they sing the song - know the words, etc.
1- means the song needs a lot of work still
10 - means best ever (the children probably love to sing this song)
The numbers in between show varying degrees of proficiency
This activity helps you plan the next weeks on what songs need more work. Ask the children to help figure out what needs work such as words, melody, one specific verse, etc. Write these suggestions down so you can remember them. Each week you can focus on one or two songs that need extra rehearsing.
Teachers can be good critics, too.
*Bring this chart each week until your program and work on improving so that all songs are a solid 10.
