My kids took a Jr. Golfing course when they were little kids. They were given little Jr. sized putters and golf clubs. See if you can find a small putter or golf club good for kids and bring it into primary. Then collect a bag or bucket of golf balls.
| Try a Primary Singing Time Golf Game for fun and participation! Use a trash can or a bucket to catch the balls (laying on it’s side). Mark it with a sign that says “HOLE IN ONE”. Then draw white circles out of construction paper and number them 1 to 8. They are “golf balls”. Write the names of the songs on the back and tape them up on the board. We are playing Primary Golf! |
(I also happen to see little metal and plastic golf clubs for kids at K-Mart for $5.00 and $7.00 so I bought a set for my grandkids…it also comes with the holes in one and extra golf balls! What luck!)
| Use a bucket or trash basket for the “hole in one” for Primary Singing Time |
| Fore! Look out while I putt! |
Choose 1 child to come up, pick a ball off the board, then tell the group the name of the song that’s on the back. The teacher picks a few kids to stand up and recite each line. Go through entire song this way.

| Here we are hiking Snow Canyon in St. George. We don’t golf much, but we do find a good hike fun! |
Then have “reciters” come up….Maybe 4 to 6 are needed to recite the lines of the song. (Skip choruses) If they do so correctly they get a chance to “putt”. Make the group line up and they get a point for their “class team” if they get a hole in one.
| Number some paper balls for song choices for Primary Singing Time (listed on back of balls) |
Then we all sing the song together. Hopefully the putting will go rather quickly. Then start over, picking another child to go choose a golf ball off the board for the next song. Be sure and bring a few extra golf balls! Have fun golfing in singing time!
