Dare to Do Right Musical Arrangements
Here at Primary Singing, we like to incorporate a variety of primary ideas to keep your kids engaged during singing time. This spiritual connection activity (archives) is meant to be a really simple way to invite the Spirit into your primary room as you teach this song.
I’ve included a list of 3 video arrangements of this song that you might consider sharing in singing time. I’ve also included 3 additional links to musical arrangements that can be performed by your very own ward members! Whether you choose to use a video or live performance, this activity is sure to make an impact on your primary kids.
When using any kind of technology in singing time, I always make sure that my tech works before singing time. There is nothing more frusterating than having wiggly primary children wait as you fumble with technology. I get it! That’s why I like to come a little early and set everything up beforehad and do a quick test-run to make sure it works.
Once you’ve decided which type of arrangement you’ll share, begin singing time by telling the primary children that you will be listening to a special musical number. Invite the children to listen reverently.
After the performance or video is finished, ask a few volunteers to share any feelings they had during the performance. What is this song about? What does it teach us about being followers of Jesus?
Once you’ve had a brief discussion, begin teaching or review the lyrics to Dare to Do Right. If you are introducing this song for the first time, you’ll definitely want to grab our flip chart that includes words and pictures to help you teach this song.
