I’ve been thinking of ways to encourage my own children to turn to Primary songs while we are home for the next little while due to this crazy pandemic! A couple years back I had created a challenge specific to our Primary songs of the year with a easy and fun activity the kids could do each week to help us prepare for the Primary Program.
With that basic idea in mind, I thought I would create and share a Singing Time Bingo Challenge that you can customize for your ward and individual families with a simple activity they can do with their favorite Primary songs.
This challenge can be customized to include your specific Primary songs for the month, quarter, or year, as may be needed. As it is currently setup, the challenges can work with any Primary song! You can simply include your list of songs and let families use this Bingo Challenge however it best suits them!
Bingo is the perfect song to get your kids spelling. Did you know that the Bingo that you and your kids sing today isn't the original song?! We all know the version whereas you sing, you clap to remove a letter. Wellthe original song was published in London in 1785 on 'The Humming Bird' a collection of songs. This bingo card has a free space and 34 words: Today, take a moment to sing a favorite song., Today, take a moment to sing to someone over the phone., Today, take a moment to sing together with a friend., Today, take a moment to sing together with a family member., Today, take a moment to sing with a child., Today, take a moment to sing with a recording (you might even try to harmonize.

I’m sharing this fun Singing Time Bingo Challenge in a couple of formats! You can choose to open the file in either Word or as a PDF. The Word version will be editable, but in some instances the formatting may become skewed or off if you have a different version of the software.
The Word version is fully editable. You can add specific song titles or your own challenges.
The PDF document can’t be edited. However, you can print a blank sheet and then fill in the boxes and share your completely customized Bingo Challenge sheet with your ward!
You will also find both a color and a black and white version to fit unique needs! I would recommend to download the file that best fits your needs. Then, customize the challenge to fit your Primary songs, ward, or individual needs. Then share your final version with your family and ward members.
It’s a great time to use up all those extra dot stickers you may have on hand!!
