Sing to the Sky!

Here is an activity to cut through the norm in singing time.  Plan a review of the songs that you will be singing for any program.

• Have children stand up
• Sing to the wall
• Sing to the back wall
• Sing to the door
• Sing to the Primary President
• Sing to the piano
• Sing to the cieling
• Sing to chair in front of you
• Sing to the floor
• Sing to your neighbor
• Stand in the center o the room and have the children sing to you
• Sing with your eyes shut
• Sing standing on one foot
• Sing with your ears covered
• Hold your nose and sing (they will all laugh at this sound)
• Clap each word/syllable as you sing

The list can go on and on.  The children will never know that they are reviewing songs over and over again.
You can put these ideas on strips of paper and have the children draw one at a time out of a hat or container.

Primary Color Choir

A fun way to review songs is creating a "Primary Color Choir!"  Ask everyone who is wearing red to stand up. (You can determine if shades of a color are allowed.)  Have these children come to the front and sing a song, with their best voices.  (I use a song from this year's Program.)  Once they finish the song have them take their seats.  Ask everyone who is wearing blue to stand and repeat the process, however have them sing a different song.  After they are seated, ask those wearing yellow to come up and sing a different song.  There may be some children wearing all of the colors so they will be singing in all the choirs.  You can continue this activity using different colors as time permits.  This is a great activity because it mixes the children up.  Be sure to remind those listening to the choir to be polite and listen reverently.
