Primary Songs Sheet Music
Some of the songs published in The Friend magazine and on the church website have gained a ton of popularity with Primary Music Leaders. They are beautiful songs that the children LOVE to sing!
These can be a wonderful option to include to teach as they are considered “pre-approved” to teach as they are published by the Church. You will still likely want to run your song selections past your Primary President.
There are lots of wonderful songs in the full list below, but to help those short on time I’ve grabbed the VERY favorite selections for quicker access here, in alphabetical order.

Hello! Thank you so much for compiling this amazing resource! This is great! Do you know if they have audio versions of these anywhere to download? Our son loves listening to Primary music as he falls asleep and I would LOVE to add these songs to his playlist. Thank you again!
These songs that they have published in the friend usually do not have a corresponding audio track or music video. There are a few of the more popular ones that you can find on the church website, though. Youtube has sing along videos you could maybe use, depending on your setup.
