I always bring things in my 'Mary Poppins' bag (not a lamp post mind you), just in case time lags or singing a song over and over gets tiresome. Here are some simple primary props that you can having in your bag of tricks each week. I made these just using free clip art from the web, printing it out and putting it on construction paper, and taping a dowel/stick to it. They are two sided. You can use just one side or if you want them to be really attentive, you can flip the signs around while you are singing.
1) Front- Stand Up/Back- Sit Down
2) Front- Sing Reverently/Back - mouth words(silent singing)
3) Front- Sing Loud/Back Sing Soft
4) Front- Sing Like Primary Angels/Back- OOOO instead of words
5) Front- Sing Opera Style/Back- Sing with a country twang
The final picture are of 3 sticks I made while we are doing a new song. If they are singing strong, you hold up the strong sign so they know if they are doing well...if they aren't doing so well, hold up the WEAK sign so they are encouraged to sing stronger. The KEEP GOING sign is for when they are singing pretty good but can do better. The goal is to have the STRONG SIGN up through the whole song.
