It's the last Sunday in February, and I want to review both January's and February's songs. We are going to play:
Primary Feud
You will need:
- Something to hit the table with. I am going to use two fly swatters, each decorated with a silk flower. Children could use their hands instead, slapping them on the table when they know the answer. Another option would be to have a bell, or two bells. You could also use one object in the middle of the table that a child could grab if they know the answer, like a stuffed animal or even a sock or glove.
- A small classroom table
- Create questions about the song or songs you are reviewing. Make them challenging and thought provoking for Senior Primary, but make them extremely easy and obvious for Jr. Primary.
- Or use my questions below. Copy and paste them into your own word processor, or open and print this: Trivia Review.pdf Cut each question/answer/song phrase into a paper strip. Fold each slip of paper and put them in a hat or a bowl or basket or any container. Make sure you separate the Senior Primary questions from the Junior Primary questions.
To Play:
I plan to sing both review songs before starting. I'll tell the children to listen carefully to the words in the song as they sing, so they will be able to "win" at the game we will be playing! After singing, invite two contestants (two children, or a teacher and a child) to come to the front of the room. Explain that you will read a trivia question drawn from your hat/basket/container. The first contestant who knows the answer will slap the fly swatter on the table. Whichever contestant has slapped first will give an answer. If they do not answer correctly, make a dramatic "Wha-Wha-Wha-Whaaaaa" or "Bzzzzzt!"sound to indicate they were incorrect, and give the other contestant a chance to answer correctly. When the correct answer is given, have everyone sing the part of the song written after the question. Next, two new contestants come to the table to try to answer the next question. Keep playing until you have about three of four minutes left, and then sing both songs all the way through again.

Thank you. This is such a wonderful idea!!
ReplyDeleteBridgette....YOU are my hero! This is amazing! XOXOX
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I'm using this tomorrow in singing time. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYeah! Thanks! I have singing time for today!! Excellent!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this! I appreciate you giving me the rules and the questions. I was looking for a way to review the songs and this was perfect! It was especially great because all I had to do was print and go--so easy. Thank you! I do have to say that many of the unscramble questions stumped the senior primary, how'd it go for you?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this! It went well in my primary, but I didn't use any of the unscramble questions. I thought they would be way too hard, so I made up my own for that portion. Thanks for the great idea, though!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments everyone. It is great to hear from you all!
ReplyDeleteEvelaina, Yup, stumped my kids, too! Easier questions might have been more fun.
@The Holts...good job on making your own questions!
In my primary, Junior Primary was really fun. I paired a teacher against each child, and the teachers all gave their "opponent" a chance to think and come up with their best answer, and letting them hit the fly swatter on the table first. We got through all the Junior Primary trivia questions.
Senior Primary I paired teachers against students again, and they did indeed have a difficult time unscrambling the phrases, but once they caught on the kids who were the "audience" were ready to burst out of their chairs wanting to tell the answer. We didn't get through all the questions, but it was still a lot of fun. I found that if they were completely stumped on any question, I had my pianist, Diana, play the phrase and the kids would immediately get it right.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! I used your cute idea last Sunday in our primary and it was SO FUN! I went ahead and used ALL the questions... our kids were so smart! I loved the giggles I got as I read the scrambled ones (ie: then you will be miserable on Mars)! They caught on & figured them out pretty quickly! I rang a bell when they got the answer right, and buzzed the buzzer from our Taboo game when they got it wrong. Such a fun day!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for all you do! I'm sure you will be blessed for sharing your talents like you are! I'm a huge fan!
