Are they bothering anyone?
Some children may just sit and listen. I figure most of the time that I listen to music I don't actually sing to it, but I do enjoy listening, and I still get what the song is saying. If they are bothering people how can I make my lessons more dynamic and inclusive, where they will feel compelled to join in? (Maybe not at the start, but . . .) What connection can I make with them? Say hi before Sacrament meeting. Find out their favorite songs to sing. What challenge can I give them? I'm not talking about challenging them to behave because they are the oldest - although this may be just the thing some need. I'm talking about a super hard challenge in the song. I had a young man who was too cool to sing when I started this calling a year ago. This past Sunday I said ----- it's been a pleasure singing with you and he looked startled. He didn't realize that they weren't going to have the older kids come to Primary that day and he was actually disappointed.

Here are my tried and true tips/tricks based upon my past experience, CFM, Preach My Gospel, and also using my teaching strategies/philosophies that I also use in my day job.
Most are simple directed listening (Focused Attention) based for easy memorization and then also focusing in on topics for internalization of the Gospel messages. Lot's of my different ideas on a few pages :) Archives
