“Everyone Who” is another way to choose who will sing as you review a song. Write the phrases on slips of paper and put them in a basket or can to draw from. Do the actions while you sing the song, yet one more time. If there are just a few children who stand to sing, have everyone else hum while you help those few sing. If you can think of another example to add to the list, please leave a comment.
- Everyone who has a pet at home stand and pretend you are petting your pet while we sing.
- Everyone who likes to play soccer stand and swing you leg back and forth while we sing.
- Everyone who plays a musical instrument stand and pretend to play it while we sing.
- Everyone who wants to go on a mission stand and “knock” the rhythm on a pretend door.
- Everyone who likes to take a walk stand and walk in place while we sing. Swing your arms.
- Everyone who goes to bed by 8:00 come up and pretend to sleep while we sing the song to you.
- Everyone who likes to swim stand and pretend to swim while we sing.
- Everyone who likes to read a book stand and pretend to read while we sing.
- Everyone who likes to build a snowman (or sand castle) stand up while we sing.
- Everyone who likes to ride a bike stand and pretend you are riding your bike while we sing.
- Everyone who likes to paint stand and pretend to paint the melody of the song while we sing.
- Everyone who likes to draw stand and pretend to draw the melody of the song while we sing.

I've been so serious and workaholic with the kids lately. You know--getting ready to sing for mothers day and all that. It's time for something totally fun. This is perfect!
Yeah, Jenny, I know what you mean. This activity is fun. I hope your kids enjoyed singing for their mothers. We didn't sing this year. I was just a little bit glad. :o}
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing! I might add "If you're a teacher, stand and sing to your class!"
Thank you so much for all your great ideas! It really helps get my creative juices flowing, and the kids really love these! Thanks for taking the time to write it all down!
wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas here. You have been a life saver for me in this calling and I am having fun too :)
This sounds like fun. I can't wait to try it. Thanks!
I am a new Primary Chorister in Washington D.C. and stumbled upon your blog...It's wonderful! But even more random is I think you may know my parents, and even me. Did you ever live in Columbus, Ohio and do you remember the Frost's? I am Christy--their oldest daughter. Small world, huh?
Thanks for your comments ladies, I'm glad this is helpful. Adding the teachers would be a great idea. Thanks!
Hah Christy! Of course I remember you and your family. I really miss all of my old friends in Columbus. Do you remember that I was the Primary Chorister for some time in Columbus, when you were just a little girl? You see that I've been doing this off and on for a looooooong time! ;o) I'm so glad you have the opportunity now.
I really can't thank you enough for all your posts! I am lacking the "creative" gene...I think my sister got all of them (lol!)...and your ideas are not only creative, but simple...and when teaching the gospel thru song, I think simple is best! :)
Great great activity. I am going to add "everyone who is wearing a tie stand and sing!"
LOVE this idea! Thanks for sharing!
Jenna, the "tie" suggestion is a GREAT one! Although I know you mean it to get those boys singing, I know that my girls will find something that ties as well. Thanks!
I just want you to know at the last minute last week I printed out this post and threw it together right before jumping in the car to go to church. The kids LOVED it!!! In fact it's lasted 2 weeks now. Thanks so much for the easiest, fun activity!
I did this last week with both Sr. and Jr. Primary and they LOVED it!! Thank you so much for sharing all of your wonderful ideas.
I'm a year late, but let me add this: you could have the kids sing the alphabet to the tune of the song, or any other song to that tune. It's tricky and forces the kids to really listen to the music.
Love this list. Laura, your idea is BRILLIANT!
I just want to say thank you! Love your ideas!
I just found this idea and think it is perfect for easy review! I'm going to add Everyone who is a Child of God stand and sing reverently! That way no matter what, everyone will have to sing at least once (hopefully more).
