Grandmother Song Flip Chart & Lyrics

I picked to teach this cute Grandmother song (archive) as my Father’s Day Primary Song (list) one year and it was a BIG hit! It reminds me so much of the sweet song Daddy’s Homecoming, with that upbeat tempo and fun lyrics. You can easily teach it to your Primary children with this Grandmother Song Flip Chart!

To help it better fit a 2-syllable word, just have the pianist drop the 3rd note in “Grandmother” and it fits great!
