Divide the Primary into two teams. At first, split the room in half down the middle, but later try mixing it up with girls vs. boys, kids vs. teachers, etc.
Hold a flag or colored piece of paper in each hand, one color for each team. When a team's color is RAISED, it's their turn to sing. Another option - if you've made the TRAFFIC LIGHT, turn it sideways and use the light for up to three teams (Red, Green, and Yellow).
Start by swapping line by line - have one side of the room sing the first line, the other sings the second, etc. After they get the hang of it, switch it up and swap mid-line, etc. Give some of the older kids a chance to come up and direct the game. If you like, stand between the two teams and have them face each other.
To add a little competition for Sr. Primary (totally up to you, some primaries do well with competition and some don't), if a team flubs a line the other team gets a point. To make it trickier, go a cappella so they don't have the piano to fall back on. NO TEACHERS SINGING for this one!
If you have some brave soloists, try a duel between two kids at a time, or two classes at a time.
