How to Play:

  1. Choose 8-10 songs that you’d like to review. This could be a mix of songs you learned during the year and fun fall Primary songs!
  2. Print out the Thanksgiving food pictures. Some of these pictures have traditional Thanksgiving food items, and some are just silly! On the back of each picture, write the name of one of the songs you chose.
  3. Use a magnet or tape up the pictures at the bottom of the whiteboard. At the top of the board, could write the words, “Primary Thanksgiving Dinner.” You could also do your best drawing of a dinner plate on the board!
  4. At the beginning of primary, ask the children to share some of their favorite Thanksgiving traditions. Then, show the pictures of the Thanksgiving foods.
  5. Have the children choose items they would like to have at their Thanksgiving dinner. When one item is chosen, flip over the picture and reveal the song. Sing through the song together!
  6. Continue adding items to your Thanksgiving dinner until the kids decide the plate is full. Sing through the songs as you go and have some fun with this activity!

Extension Ideas:

  • If you want to focus on reviewing one primary song, write ideas for how to sing the song on the back of each picture. Some silly examples might be “hop like a bunny,” “sing as slow as a turtle,” or “sing with your eyes closed.” Lots of fun ideas for different ways to sing in this post!
  • Use all Thanksgiving-Themed songs! Use our list of fall songs to find songs about gratitude and autumn. This is a fun way to teach a bunch of new Thanksgiving songs at once.
  • If you have extra time, start “cleaning up your plate” by removing each of the pictures one at a time. Sing through the songs as you clear your plate!
