I can’t think of a simpler way to introduce Dare to Do Right (archives)<\/a> this month that with a classic game of “Hangman!” This fun word game<\/a> is a quick way to engage your primary children as you begin teaching this song! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Dare to Do Right Hangman Blanks<\/strong> activity includes an easy, medium, and challenge version that all your primary children will enjoy! Work together to fill in all the missing letter blanks and spell out the phrase, “Dare to do right!” <\/p>\n\n\n

Dare to Do Right Hangman Blanks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This classic game of \u201cHangman\u201d is such a fun way to introduce or review Dare to Do Right in singing time this month! The goal of the game is to figure out all the missing letters as you sing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set up this activity by writing an underline for each letter of the phrase, \u201cDare to Do Right.\u201d I’ve included a printable later in this post with 3 different hangman versions that range from easy to hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also like to write out all the alphabet letters and cross them off as the kids guess. This helps the kids keep track of which letters they\u2019ve already guessed. You can find also find a printable copy of these as well to save some prep time! <\/p>\n\n\n

At the beginning of primary, start by reviewing the first verse of Dare to Do Right (lyrics here)<\/a>. If this song is brand new to your primary children, use this activity as a fun way to guess which song you\u2019ll be learning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After singing through the song, choose a volunteer to guess one letter. If the letter is part of the word, write the letter above the blank. If it\u2019s not included, cross it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take another guess or two, then sing through the song again. Continue guessing letters until you have enough letters to guess the entire word! If you have some children who guess the phrase early on, tell them to keep it a secret!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve filled in all the blanks and solved for the phrase, sing through the song one more time and share a brief testimony.<\/p>\n\n\n

3 Hangman Versions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Easy: <\/strong>The easiest version of this activity includes blanks for each missing letter, as well as slash lines to indicate spaces between words. To make it even easier, start with a few letters already filled in! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Medium:<\/strong> For a little bit more of a challenge, use colors to indicate repeating letters in the phrase. It can be helpful for your primary children to see which letters appear more than once. This version includes spaces between words, but does not include any filled in letters to start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Challenge: <\/strong>For a more challenging hangman game, don’t include any spacers! Your primary children will likely be confused as to why the letters seem all jumbled together! Once you have solved all the letters, use slash marks to separate the words. Can you tell what it says now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an example of what this will look like with and without the slash mark. See how much harder it is to guess the phrase when it’s all bunched together?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
