The Iron Rod Pipe Chimes Chart

Are you looking for an engaging way to teach The Iron Rod in your Primary room? I LOVE this natural tie in of using this The Iron Rod Pipe Chimes chart to teach the song that talks all about holding to an iron rod! The kids will love the connection with these metal pipe chimes being used with the chorus.

The Iron Rod is one of the hymns included in the Book of Mormon Primary Songs list in January. I think it’s a great one to include, if it fits what you’re working on for the year.

The Iron Rod Pipe Chimes

How to Play:

Sing through The Iron Rod (flip chart here) once, before introducing the pipe chimes.

Lay your chimes down on the holders and play the chime chorus with your pianist. There are just 20 notes for select keywords from the chorus.

*Note: Pipe Chime 17 is a D note which is typically colored orange as well as Note 5 as it’s also a D note. For simplification and ease of understanding, I’ve recolored note #17 to red so there’s no confusion.

*Note: Note 9 is F#. The Black outline helps to indicate it is a sharp key.

You will need 5 kids to help you play the chimes. Or, in a smaller Primary you can use 4 kids and have one of the children play both #5 and #17 which are only played twice each.

As the music leader, you’ll point to the note in sequence of when to play each note. Each child will hold one chime holding by the string at the top and being careful not to touch the chime.

The children will watch for their specific number and strike the chime with one swift tap. The notes follow along with the piano accompaniment.

Everyone sings along with the song and pick new helpers after each time through the song until everyone gets a chance to chime the bells! Since the chimes are only for the chorus you’ll get in lots of singing repetition on the verses while adding in some fun for the chorus!

Extension Activities:

  • Add just one chime at a time. I recommend starting with chime #12, but you can let your volunteer pick from the available chimes. Now, add another chime number and have two helpers participate!
  • Stand to sing the chorus and give it all the extra emphasis you can!
  • Have all the children not playing the chimes clap on the keywords! This will give them a fun way to interact and help them point out when to play the notes.
