Primary Flip Charts for Singing Time

I love flip charts! I think they’re super helpful to get teachers and kids to sing that otherwise might not. I don’t use flip charts for every song, every week, but I do use a flipchart for every song at least a few times while teaching and while reviewing songs.

What is a Flip Chart?

Flip Charts, in Primary, as are series of pages of the song lyrics, and often images, that help the children follow along while learning a new song. The name comes because Primary music leader and choristers have often held them up and flip from page to page as you sing through the song.

Primary flip charts can be a really helpful visual aids to use when introducing a song for the first time or if you’re singing a song, such as for an opening song, that you don’t plan to work on much but still want the kids to feel confident in singing along!

Primary flip charts for singing time - free printable flipcharts for Primary music leaders to teach a new song with ease! Available in 3 formats.

Because I think simplicity and ease is best – I aim all my flip charts to be as condensed as possible. That means, fewer pages to stumble through and try to flip along during the song, but that still present the words and a picture or two for interest. Hopefully, these flip charts will come in handy and useful for you.

These are designed for primary school-aged children (3-11) with a nice bold font that’s easy to ready and colorful key words to add interest! Keep in mind, while most of Junior Primary children cannot read, it does help the adult leaders and older kids singing along.

You can find the sheet music for the Primary flip charts featured here in the Children’s Songbook by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or songs created by private composers sheet music is linked on the individual flip chart posts.

Using Flip Charts in Primary

Primary flip charts can be a really helpful tool and while I don’t use flip charts every week, I do love to keep a flip chart on hand for each song because I use them in so many ways! For example, see this post on 10 Singing Time Ideas Using Flip Charts! This is a perfect way to come up with easy lesson plans for a substitute!

I have even come up with some nifty Tips & Tricks for Using Flip Charts in Primary even easier!

I love storing my printed Primary flip charts in a 3-ring binder for easy access!

  1. What do the different colors of words mean on the flip charts? Are there activities that go along with certain colors? How do you use them to teach the song?

    Reply
    • They’re just to add color and interest pointing out keywords! I do tend to have specific colors I tie to specific words – like Red or Purple for Heavenly Father and Christ, and blue for action words, orange for references to self. But it really just depends on what fits and works best, there isn’t entirely a rhyme or reason. 🙂

  2. I love your flip charts! Thank you so much for sharing. I would love to be able to print them in landscape as well to hang them over the music stand to free up my hands (especially during the program) and not have to print different landscape flip charts for the program. Is that possible or a formatting nightmare?

    • Hi Amy,
      I make the colorful ones with photos only in portrait. The simple text ones only in landscape. There is a slideshow option that is landscape, it’s slightly different dimensions (16×9) but you could probably print it and lose some margin on the right and left. It takes me hours to create these! I am starting to work with an artist to create a custom art flip chart series which has both portrait and landscape with different formatting sizing. Only some are available at the moment.

    • I’m sorry, I don’t. I think Scripture Power is a perfect fit for the Book of Mormon year, so I plan to make one for next year.
