Have I Done Any Good Choose the Missing Word
I’m so glad this song was added to the 2024 Book of Mormon song list! Teaching hymns in singing time can be a great way to help our primary children feel more included during sacrament meeting.
Hymns can also be a little tricky to teach. This song in particular is a bit longer than most primary songs, and it can be hard to keep the verses straight. For a fun way to practice the song lyrics, play this fill in the blank word game!
The basic idea behind this activity is to fill in each word blank with a picture to represent each missing word while you review!
I’ve created a printable with 16 word blanks and pictures to represent each missing word in the first verse and chorus of the song. Start by printing out each page or phrase and cutting out each image.
Before singing time, set up the board for this activity. On one side of the board, write each phrase with missing word blanks or simply post each page of the printable lyrics. Post the visuals on the other side of the board.
At the beginning of singing time, review Have I Done Any Good using our flip chart or see how well your primary children know the lyrics without any helps!
Can anyone figure out which song is on the board? It looks like some of the words are missing. Can you help me fill in all the missing words?
Have the children identify the first line of the song. Which word is missing? Check the other side of the board to see if you can find a picture that represents the missing word.
Once someone has found the correct picture, have them come up and fill in the word blank with the picture. After filling in a few word blanks, try singing through the song again to give some hints!
Continue having children come up to the board to fill in the missing word blanks. Once you have correctly filled in all the blanks, sing through the song one more time before closing.
Missing Word Examples:
I’ve included a few examples of missing word phrases included in the printable for this activity below. Each missing blank can be filled in with a simple visual. Be sure to grab the full printable for all 16 visuals!
“Have [*updated to a picture of a boy] done any [picture of a thumbs up] in the [picture of a globe] today?”
“Have I [picture of a helping hand] anyone in need?”
“Have I cheered up the [sad emoji] and made someone feel [smiling emoji] ? If not I have failed indeed.”
“Has anyone’s [picture of rocks] been lighter today because I was willing to [picture of two hands interlocking]?”
Extension Activities:
- Randomly tape the pictures around the room! Sing through one line at a time while the kids look for the missing word. Once they have found it, move on to the next line or phrase!
- Split up the verse and chorus! Have one group work together to find the missing words for the verse and the other group find the missing words for the chorus! Then, have each group sing their section!
- For a fun intro activity, post only the images on the board. See if the kids can guess which song you’ll be working on! Once they guess, use the pictures to fill in each line as you introduce the song.
- Clap or snap on each missing word! As you sing, clap instead of sing when you get to a blank.
- Replace some of the images with the correct song lyric. Follow the same instructions, looking for either the missing picture or the missing word!

What other fun ways will you use this missing word singing time activity in your Primary room?
I do not see the fill in missing word for Have I Done Any Good chorus.
the slides are there for the first verse only
Hi Tracie, Just the first verse is included in the free printable. The kids pickup the chorus very easily or you can use a different method to teach the chorus.
Hi! Does the paid one have the second verse and chorus, or just the first verse?
Hi Mikaela, The paid packet does include the 2nd verse! There’s a description in the post on what the extended printables includes, if that’s helpful in the future. There’s also information in the shop on which activities cover more than one first. Most do, but not all as sometimes the activity is pretty specific or geared towards a specific verse. I hope that helps!
