Reviewing a Song

Review the songs

After the children have learned a new song, it is important for them to sing it frequently to implant it firmly in their memories.  Sometimes use the song they have already learned as the opening, closing or reverent song.

1.       Show pictures or visual aids you used to teach the song and ask the children what song the pictures remind them of

2.      Allow the children to choose their favorite Primary Songs

3.      Play “Name That Tune”

4.      Use a riddle to encourage the children to guess which song  you are thinking of

5.      Add variety to the song by having different groups sing the verses or phrases.

6.      Try adding parts or an instrumental parts to the song

7.      Plan a “choose and review” time activity.

Whatever methods you use, frequently provide the children an enjoyable experience in reviewing the songs so that their musical repertoire is constantly growing.
