Song-Specific Easter Singing Time Ideas
This post is the perfect place to start, but if you’re looking for singing time ideas for Easter Sunday specific to the song you’re teaching in Primary, you’ll want to check out our archives for your Easter song pick!
I’ve shared our favorite Easter idea plus a link to more ways to teach each song!
1. Gethsemane
What better way to have fun with an Easter song than bringing in your Egg shakers! It ties into the holiday perfectly with adorable egg shaped shakers. I have a fun pattern for Egg Shakers to teach Gethsemane that would make a wonderful activity for Easter Sunday.
2. He Sent His Son
Adding movement to your singing time is always a wonderful way to get all of the children involved. In this He Sent His Son Sway and Freeze activity adds purposeful movement and with a nice flow that fits in really well for Easter.
3. Did Jesus Really Live Again
If you’re teaching Did Jesus Really Live Again, this cup pattern is a really engaging way to have fun with this song and making music together as a Primary! The kids will be itching to get up and moving after an Easter basket full of treats that morning. You’ll love this constructive outlet for burning energy!
4. Jesus Has Risen
Take the time to sing Jesus Has Risen with a Song Story! It’s a great way to weave in the traditions of Easter while teaching the true meaning of the season with a beautiful interweaving of the lyrics.

5. I Know My Father Lives
If you want to get hands on and a little STEM-based in Primary, the kids will really love diving into the signs of life and how they might relate to Christ before he died, how the people knew he had actually died, and what it means to be resurrected and live again!
6. When He Comes Again
Hide images behind a fun scratch & match activity to add to the intrigue for singing time! It ties in wonderfully with an Easter theme of hidden things and let’s you keep on working on a song you might be teaching this year.
7. Easter Hosanna
What better instrument to bring in for your Easter singing time than pipe chimes? They just feel like the perfect spring instrument to use and with this fun Easter Hosanna Pipe Chimes activity you’ll add a special chimes section to the chorus to add emphasis!

MORE Easter Singing Time Activities
Here are some of my favorite activities from Primary chorister have created to help you with your Easter planning!
Palm Sunday Easter Ideas
I adore this meaningful activity created by Penny Hughes that she shared in a Facebook Group. She goes step by step through all the meaningful parts of Palm Sunday when Christ enters Jerusalem including showing a short video clip of his triumphal entry, waving palm leaves, and a fun sequence singing pattern, too! I love that she used a ton of different Easter songs!
You can grab a set of palm leaves on Amazon for pretty cheap, and it really adds a nice touch to this activity! And of course, look at all those beautiful goodies she brought in to share – dates, coconut, palm sugar, coconut flour and coconut milk.
Did Jesus Really Live Again Picture Puzzle
Teach LDS Children came up with this adorable idea to retell the lyrics of Did Jesus Really Live again with a comic book style, and then flip over all the pieces to reveal a completely hidden picture of the resurrected Savior! I love how this idea all came together and it could be easily adapted to fit any Easter song.
