A Child’s Prayer Song Lyrics Trivia

How to Play:

Sing through the verse of A Child’s Prayer that you’ll play the trivia game for once before starting.

Divide the Primary into 2 teams. Then, have one child come up from each team to stand at a buzzer. They’ll place one hand on the table and their other hand behind their back.

You’ll read the question and the first to hit the buzzer will get a chance to answer!

All answers should be answered in song lyric form.

If they get it wrong or need help, let the other child up front try to guess. If they are both wrong, the first child can have a friend from their team help.

If anyone yells out the answer, the other team gets the point!

Go through 2 trivia questions, then sing through the song again and challenge the kids to listen closely so they will be ready for the next questions!

A couple of tips:

I would recommend just sticking to one of the verses, but you can do both and just switch to singing the 2nd verse before starting in on the next set of questions.

The second verse trivial questions are a little harder, so it may be better for Senior Primary.
