Since it's the 5th Sunday, I have the whole time. We'll be playing Primary Program Singo (similar to Bingo). I've made the Bingo cards generic so you can use them every year! Make sure to bring your 2010 Outline for Sharing Time booklet, it will help you out a lot with this game.
-
At the bottom of the post are 25 DIFFERENT Singo cards I've made (calling card sheets are in the post below this one). Feel free to copy them and print onto cardstock to make your own (I hope you can get it to work!). I put my Singo cards in plastic cover sheets. Then I cut the calling cards and laminated them. In each plastic cover sheet, I threw in 25 small squares of colored cardstock so the kids can cover the items as they are called. When we are finished playing the game all their game pieces will go back inside the cover sheets - keeps it easy. Hope that makes sense.
-
On the cards there is a free space in the middle that everyone covers up and the other items fall into 3 categories (not all cards have everything):
January - December Themes (12 total)
January - December Songs (12 total)
13 Articles of Faith
-
When a song or Article of Faith is called, we'll sing it. I'll pick a child to come be the leader with a special conductor stick (I have a Star Wars Light Saber that I know will be a hit). I know that for the months September - December there are not planned songs but our ward, for program purposes, picks songs that go along with that months theme. So for the program, we'll have these additional songs:
-
September - Keep the Commandments p, 146
October - I Hope They Call me on a Mission p. 169
November - Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam . 60
December - Hosanna p. 66
-
These are pretty easy songs that we'll be able to go over a few times when we review these next few weeks. If your ward isn't doing this, you can still sing these songs when they are called as they do go along with that month's theme. If your primary doesn't know them, try posting the words up front or pick something else they will know. And for convenience sake, write these songs with the page number in your 2010 Outline in the right month. You may also want to fill in the songs you picked for May and August too!
-
When the monthly themes are called, either me or a child will read the monthly theme in the microphone (it's the scripture or Article of Faith listed in the 2010 Outline for Sharing Time for each month).
-
When a child gets 5 in a row, they yell "SINGO" and get some reward - candy, their teacher has to wear a crazy hat, whatever you want. You can go for blackout too if you have time.
-
Now, if you have a primary bigger than 25, here are my suggestions:
1. Partner up. Put an older child with a younger one.
2. Each class gets one to do together and have the teacher hold the Singo card (great for Jr.)
3. Make two big ones on the chalkboard and have teachers vs. children (also great for Jr.). If you do this option, just print out all the calling cards, hang them on the chalkboard and draw the bingo card lines. Make sure you have 48 cards printed and then just write "FREE SPACE with chalk in the middle.

Here are all the cards. Let me know if you have questions.
