Sing the song or verse to review before each question. Split the songs into verses so you can focus on each section at a time and to give more opportunities for questions. Singing first will help to review the song while giving the children the opportunity to concentrate on what they are singing and to also motivate the children in singing in the hope to be chosen to have a turn to come up. Ask the question for the song/verse just sung. The child that answers the question correctly gets to come and put up a game marker. Rotate selecting a child from each class to have a turn to answer. Alternate the X and O markers with each question. Warn the children, if necessary, that if they do not participate or are not reverent, you will remove one of the game markers (start with the center one since that is the most strategic spot.) Continue singing and playing until there are three in a row. Start a new game if time permits. JR optional ways to play with teams Primary vs Music Leader (you) Play the game similar to the rules above; however, the Primary will be X and you will be O. If a child answers correctly, they put up their marker. If they give a wrong answer, you get to put up your marker. You do not answer any questions; just the children. Teachers vs Children See the SR How to Play rules.

SR: Teams Divide Primary into 2 groups. Sing the song or verse to review before each question. Split the songs into verses so you can focus on each section at a time and to give more opportunities for questions. Singing first will help to review the song while giving the children the opportunity to concentrate on what they are singing and to also motivate the children in singing in the hope to be chosen to have a turn to come up. Let the teachers and children know that their teacher will be watching to see who is participating and paying attention and will be picking who gets to come up and play for their team. If you are playing teachers against the kids, have a presidency leader help look for the children who are participating or you can just pick. After singing, select a class on each team and have the teachers select a child from their class to come up to be the game contestants to answer the questions. You should have 2 contestants. Ask the question to the song/verse just sung. The first contestant to ring the bell or buzzer and answer the question correctly gets to put up their teams game marker on the Tic-Tac-Sing board. The contestant has 5 seconds to answer the question correctly. If he/she cannot answer correctly within the 5 seconds, the other contestant gets a chance to answer correctly and put their game marker up on the board. If neither team answers correctly, no X or O gets on the board at this time. Just have any child answer the question OR Sing the song/verse again and then pick someone from the team that was singing the best to answer the question. If he/she answers correctly, that team gets to put up their game token on the board. Repeat playing the game until one team has three markers in a row. Start a new game if time permits. To help keep some semblance of reverence, let the children know that if at any time their team doesnt sing or gets noisy; they will have one of their markers taken off of the board.
