My Own Sacred Grove Scrambled Lyrics

One of my favorite ways to test how well the kids know a primary song is by scrambling up the song lyrics! This classic word representations activity is super easy! You’ve probably done some version of this type of activity in your primary room. The goal is to unscramble the lyrics as you sing together!

I consider this activity to be geared a little more toward older primary children. This is due to the fact that you have to be able to read the scrambled word strips to put them back in order.

That being said, I think there are ways to adapt the activity to include younger primary children as well. I’ve included some ideas for modifications for your littles in primary later in this post!

How to Play:

To prepare for this activity, start by printing out the song lyrics. I’ve included a printable with word strips for the first verse and chorus to make your prep even easier! Cut out the lyrics into short phrases and give them a good mix-up before placing in an envelope for safe keeping!

At the beginning of singing time, start by reviewing the first verse and chorus of My Own Sacred Grove (lyrics here). Since this song will likely new to your primary children, this can be a helpful way to make sure everyone feels included. It’s also a great reminder of the lyrics before you try this unscramble challenge!

Then, take the scrambled lyric strips out of the envelope and tape them randomly on the board. You can decide whether to put all the strips on the board at once, or separate the lyrics for the verse and chorus.

Oh no! These words are all mixed up! Let’s put them back in order together! Who can find the first phrase of the song?

Sing through the song again. As you sing, look on the board for the first phrase of the first verse. After the song, pick a volunteer to come put the first phrase on the board. I like to go from top to bottom, but you can also arrange the strips left to right. Can you find the next phrase or sentence? Add a few more phrases, then sing through the song again.

Continue singing and unscrambling the words until you have all the lyrics in the correct order! This is a great way to get in lots of repetition while keeping everyone engaged.

Extension Activities:

  • For younger children, draw pictures or symbols on each word strip. You could even cut out the flip chart and add pictures to make the word strips bigger and easier to see. Use the pictures clues as you rearrange the lyrics!
  • Make it a group contest! Cut out word strips for each class. Race to see who can unscramble the lyrics first! Or, have one group unscramble the chorus while the other group unscrambles the verse.
  • Tape word strips around the room. As you sing, have the children look for all the word strips before arranging them in the correct order.
  • Write an action on the back of each word strip.  As you sing, pull out one word strip at a time and do the silly action as you sing. Choose a few phrases at a time to put the song back in order by the end of singing time!
  • Add an extra challenge by cutting the phrases into 2-3 words at a time. This might be a good challenge if you have lots of senior primary children!
