1. My Heavenly Father Loves Me – Pick a Picture Phrase

This idea may be best for Junior Primary, but can also be used in Senior. You’ll make a word symbol puzzle for My Heavenly Father Loves Me!

Take just a few pictures / symbols per phrase of the song and let the kids help you unscramble their way through the song. They’ll love this crack the code game that’s at their level! They’re almost like a word strip but with pictures scramble them up to see if they can get them back in the right order!

A great alternative for the Pick a Picture Phrase game, try this Not That Word game in Senior Primary. The Senior primary loves the challenge, so we’ll be playing My Heavenly Father Loves Me Not That Word.

In this game, they’ll cross out words that don’t belong until there are only the “right” words left.
