Hello, I’m so glad you’ve found this blog! I’m excited to help you get ready for your Singing Time with lesson plans, games, ideas, and inspiration. Here’s a quick guide to finding your way around Primary Singing to make the most of this website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re wondering who I am, head over to read my story… I’m probably like many of you that cried when I got this calling and cried when I was released<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m also looking to hire creative music leaders<\/a> to write for this blog and share your ideas!! I’d love to chat if that sounds like you! <\/p>\n\n\n

New Primary Music Leaders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get started with this post to encourage you on your new calling, and help you with resources around the web: 5 Things Every New Primary Music Leader Should Know<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The questions I see asked the most in Facebook groups about Singing Time are all about: Am I doing enough? What should my Singing Time look like? How many songs should I teach each week? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re all completely different in how we might lead and conduct. But this post I’ve shared, with an Example of a Typical Singing Time<\/strong><\/a>, will be really helpful in showing you how I typically use the ideas I share here. You can, of course, adapt any of the activities to fill the whole Singing Time block if needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For crazy covid times, this post on Singing Time Ideas for Home Church<\/strong><\/a> can be an invaluable resource to help you keep Primary music alive, even with unique circumstances!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another helpful place to start is to check out the Learning Styles tab<\/strong><\/a>. There I share information about the different learning styles people use to learn and remember things with a link to 12 games\/ideas\/activities for each learning style!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
