Easter Egg Match Review

For April I wanted to do something around the Easter theme, but we are only meeting twice in Primary (due to General conference and in our ward Stake conference), so I didn't want to spend a week not working on program music.  In March I reviewed all of the songs we had learned this year in a Primary Jeopardy game and realized that the children still needed help on learning the words to  one of the songs I had already taught( Holding Hands Around the World).  So I decided to combine an Easter activity with reviewing that song. If you wanted to use this activity, but need to review a different song just use the blank eggs and add your own words and/or pictures to them for the song you want to review.  You could also use this activity to sing a number of different songs or Easter songs the same way. 

Activity Directions: Print out the Easter Eggs HERE for Holding Hands Around the World and HERE for blank eggs to make your own.  Then cut the eggs in half like the picture above to make it look like the eggs are cracked.  Before primary I hung half of the eggs on the chalk board and hid the other half around the room, but you could also hide all of the eggs around the room if you wanted more children to be able to find them.  Then we sang the song line by line asking the children to listen carefully to see if they held one of the egg halves that matched the words we were singing.  Once found we put the two halves together and continued to the next line.  We did this until all the eggs were matched together and then used them to sing the song several times through.

If you are using this activity to just sing a number of different songs there are many different ways you could do it, just be creative.  One suggestion is to write half of the title on each egg half and then have the pianist play the song while the children try to guess what it is and find the halves that make up the entire title.  Once matched sing the song.
