this is always hit with my primary as well. We usually do it at the end of August when we "celebrate" President Monson's birthday. :-)

Thank you so much everyone for you suggestions, this group is awesome!! I ended up using the balloon idea, I wrote down the names of the songs and put them in the balloons. I had the balloons hanging all around the primary room. It was such a wonderful day today, lately I have been doubting my teaching abilities, because the kids were just not catching onto some of the songs so last week I issued a challenge. I asked them all to go home and listen to their cd that we made for them just once this week, oh my goodness, I could not believe the difference. They sounded like angels today on every song! After singing time was over I went out into the hall to get a drink and one of the presidency members was out there crying, it was just so amazing to hear them sing those songs so beautifully!! It was exactly what I needed to boost my confidence. I love my calling!!!

This is played much like regular baseball—the singing time leader has a child represent the primary team by coming to home plate then pitches the kids a song by drawing a slip from the pitcher container. The kids sing the song and the umpire decides if it is a hit and designates whether the "player" should move to first, second, thrid base, or if it's a home run. Your umpire can also call a foul—if he wants to hear it again—or a strike, if the song needs to go back into the mix and be sung again later. The great thing about this activity is that you can prep your umpire beforehand by telling him songs you want the kids to review, or songs they are struggling with. I never divide the kids into teams—they just all work together and we keep a running total of points to see how well they did at the end. I have used this idea many times in many primaries and it is always a HUGE success. My kids love it!

He said the kids in his primary love it!

Anyway this week I wanted to review as well since they learned ILTSTT really fast, I am just trying to come up with a creative way to let the kids pick the songs this week. I want to keep it simple since we are going to have a fun week next week. Do you have guys have any suggestions?
