Fathers Flip Chart

If you’re looking for a wonderful Primary song to teach for Father’s Day, this is a great pick! The Fathers Primary Song (archives) has a verse about the father of the family, the father of the ward, and then our Heavenly Father.

I love how it ties in these 3 important fathers to make for a more inclusive holiday that can be a difficult holiday for some kids. With this Fathers Flip Chart you’ll easily teach the words and help them sing along even if you are teaching with short notice!

First Verse:

The father of our home leads our family
With wisdom’s light in all that’s right;
My father’s good to me.

Chorus:

Fathers are so special with a very special love.
They watch us and protect us.
They guide us and direct us
Back to our home above.

Second Verse:

The father of our ward tends with loving care
Each member’s needs with kindly deeds;
Our bishop’s always there.

Third Verse:

And now we’ll sing great praise and rev’rently recall
The Holy One who gave his Son,
The Father of us all.
