  • You can cut out the pictures and the words and have the children search for a match instead. Flip over one picture from the left side and one word from the right side and see if you find a match! If you do, move both pieces to the bottom of the board and line them up in song order.
  • Hold up the picture puzzle and have the children try to guess the song you will sing!

  • Pick a word from the picture (or keywords) and have the children pick an action to do instead of singing the word. They could hold the sides of their chairs for “hold” or stomp-stomp for “iron rod”, or point their hand to heaven for “God,” for example.
  • Cover the song picture with an assortment of colorful paper square or the keyword strips. Invite a child to pick one of the squares (or one of the words) after each time through the song. Continue through until they can guess the hidden scene! You can have them silently sign the keywords they have pulled off the picture. Just put those words around the board as their clues and reminders which words to skip singing.

  1. I’m confused about which pictures go with the words God, word, safely, guide, and through….
    you also have a better picture of 6 words and 6 pictures per page. how do I find that?

    • They just go from left to right in order – word on the speech bubble with the heart, God with the up arrow, safely for the compass, guide for the sign-post, through for the arrows.

      There are additional extended printables (including the larger 6-page grid) included in the membership.
