I Know My Father Lives
Color Code

How to Use the Color Code Activity:

  • Post the color code activity. Ask the Primary if they can guess what song you might be singing. Sing through the song I Know My Father Lives and see if anyone was right.
  • Ask the kids you need their help deciphering the color code. They can be like your detectives, cracking the code! What do they think the blue color represents?
    • Take guesses, see if they’re right. Check their answer by singing through the song – you’re right, you solved blue.
    • You can write the blue keywords on the board, if you’d like, or even fill in on top of the blue colored box the words that below.
  • Continue going through each of the color codes deciphering the colors and checking if they were right.
  • Have one side of the room pick one color and the other side pick a different color. Have the kids sing ONLY their color. Now have them sing everything but their color.

How to Easily Make a Printable Color Code: 

  1. Decide on a color code/key with what colors you’ll use and what words/ideas each color will represent.
  2. Open Microsoft Word, or any other word processing program.
  3. Type up all the lyrics and format the spacing and size how you’d like to best fit the page.
  4. Starting with one color and set of words, highlight the word you need to color. Then set both the font color and background color to the same color.
    1. This will effectively make the word disappear but will still give you blocks that are sized for the word length.
    2. You could choose to not base the color blocks on word length, and make them all the same size/shape.
  5. Continue to work your way through the whole song until you’ve colored all the words following your color key. Make sure you write down your color key so you have it readily available during Singing Time.

You can also simply look at the printable to see how color codes work, and then make your own for whatever songs you are working on in your Primary.

Or, skip printing all together and jot down the color key and use this activity with a variety of colored white board markers. Simply draw a colored circle, box, or even a simple colored line for each of your blanks and fill in the spacer words where needed.
