- Bring alphabet magnets.
- Invite a child to choose one.
- Have the Primary help them think of a song that goes with that letter. I made a poster to help them out and so we're all on the same page [below].
- Repeat
*Optional;
--Theme it as "back to school".
--Or, call it a Primary Song Quiz
--Or, call it a Primary Song Quiz
--Or, put the letters in a pan and call it "alphabet soup". Then use kitchen stirring spoons to "stir" in the air as you sing.

UPDATE:I did this without really thinking it through and it failed. First we had all of the kids ages 3-18 in the room (5th Sunday lesson where all the Adults leave). So there wasn't a lot of discipline happening around the room. Second, I didn't have a lot of time. Third, the kids picked hard letters right off the bat! Fourth, it was loud in the room and I could get the room's attention, nor hear the suggestions the Pianist was tinkering out. Disaster? Yeah, sort of....
BUT, I'm giving it another chance! I feel that it's important for the kids to see that something can fail and can be done again as a success. Although.... I don't really think they thought that, from their vantage point they just wanted to endure and get outta there - they don't really care... BUT I DO, so I'm giving it a better go this week. I have given it much more thought and anticipate it will go better! IT WILL!
