Record several of the children's Father's singing a Primary song.  The children then guess who's singing the song and then everyone sings it together! (Song ideas: I know my father lives (Hymn book), A Happy Family, Daddy's Homecoming, Fathers, My Dad, Love is spoken here, Quickly I'll Obey, When We're Helping, The Dearest Names). 

Cut the tie

Use the following puzzle and adapt as a prop.  Put songs on the back of each puzzle piece.  You could make songs go along with clues at bottom.  For example, #1 could be Head, shoulders, knees and toes.... or #6 could be Army of Helaman, etc. 

The following ideas were complied by Cindee Alexander:
 

Father’s Day Tie: Play pin the tie on the dad.  Songs are on the back of the ties.
 

Bow Tie Meter: Make a poster of a dad with a bow tie.  The bow tie goes up when they are singing well.
 

Dad’s Face: Make pieces for dad’s face (moustache, bushy eyebrows, nose, lips, eyes, ears).  Have kids pick the parts (with songs on the back), put it on a face, and sing the song.

Dad’s Face 2: Cut out pieces of dad’s face, but have them play “Pin the Face on Dad”.  Before the last song, have a child come up and put all the pieces in the right place.
 

Father’s Day Shirts:  Gather shirts from different fathers in the ward (ones they think their kids will recognize). In the pocket, put Dad’s favorite primary song. After the kids guess who’s shirt it is, put it on

the child and sing the song.

Dads Voices: Record dad’s singing songs.  Have the kids guess who it is.

 

Whose Dad?:  Have 3-4 dads hide behind a sheet.  Ask the dads questions. Kids try to guess who it is.  Dad’s can disguise their voice.
 

My Father (Friend, June 95):  Click here for poem.  Have a child pick the item that matches what you say.  Then put them on a child.  
 

He’s My Father: (To the tune of “He’s My Bishop”)
 

He’s as strong as he can be, he’s my father.

Fixes broken things for me, he’s my father.

Working hard from dusk to dawn; mom says he must mow the lawn.

Always here protecting me, he’s my father.

 

Blesses us with priesthood power, he’s my father.

Scold me when I’m acting sour, he’s my father.

Coaches some of our ball games, sometimes he forgets our names.

Still he’s in my hall of fame, he’s my father.
