Come, Follow Me Ribbon Wands Lesson Plan:

I usually will start with a song by singing it through once first, before introducing the activity.

Next, I’ll demonstrate the pattern the first time through and ask the children to follow along with their hands (or just their eyes).

Finally, when they’re ready to join in, I’ll have the teachers pass out the ribbon wands to those in their class.

I use these Rainbow Ribbon wands that slip over their wrist — that means no sticks hitting into the other kids! I also love that they have all the colors, so there’s no crying for a specific colored ribbon wand!

I’m sure you could make something similar with a few spools of colorful ribbons, but I just picked up two of that set from Amazon. You can also have your Primary take turns with the ribbon wands, which encourages even more repetition!

I will sometimes let my Senior Primary kiddos help extend the activity by coming up with their own actions.

We’ll write those on the board, after we’ve tried my starter actions, and then we’ll all follow along with their suggested actions. The actions don’t always match perfectly, but we have fun being silly and playing along together during the song.

  1. Thank you so very much for all your help and suggestions! I was just called as our ward music leader and I haven’t been in primary since I’ve BEEN in primary so I felt pretty intimidated. I found your site and have been so grateful for all you post, especially the singing time visual printouts! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, for helping me fulfill my calling and teach our primary children these important songs that will stay with them for the rest of their lives!
