How the song came about - At a meeting with the Primary General Board and President Hinckley, the General Primary President asked if there was a message Pres. Hinckley wanted to share with the children of the church and he said, “Yes, tell them don’t ever forget to pray.” A member of the board was thinking about this council as she drove home from the meeting and a melody came to her. She stopped and jotted it down and the results are this song so it is a current message from our prophet to the Primary children.
 

I made a little lunch of a sandwich, apple and a granola bar and put it in a lunch sack. I pulled out each item and showed them plus a note. I asked them if they ever had a love note from their mom in their lunch that said, "I love you very much. Please don't forget to (whatever she doesn't want you to forget), Love, Mom." Then I said there was a Primary song that had a love note from President Hinckley with a reminder in it because he loves
us so much, he never wants us to forget to do this. Then I read the note supposedly from President Hinckley that said, "Dear Children from the ___________ Stake (or the name of your ward), I love you very much. Don't ever forget to kneel down every night and morning to say your prayers." Did President Hinckley really write this note? No, but he wrote the words to this song. I will sing it to you, and I want you to count how many times he says not to forget to pray (which is five). Raise your hands to tell me how many times. Now I will sing it to you again, and I want you to tell me when he wants you to say your prayers. Raise you hands to tell me when (every night and morning). Listen again to tell me what position
are you supposed to be in when you say your prayers? (Kneeling) Now lets sing the song together to see if you can remember the words and the tune from listening to me.  By the time you have sung it to them two or three times, they almost have it. Then you can have them sing it with you two or three more times, and they most certainly will have it by then. (Idea by Chris Mills)
 

 (Idea by Melanie Edwards)  I first told the story of how it was written. That this song was a special message from their prophet to them personally. It was their own very special song.

I had for visuals a clipart of a finger with string tied around it (I made 5 of these), a sun, a moon and stars.

We also did actions to the song:

Don't ever forget: move pointer finger back & forth and shake head
Pray: hands palms together, praying fashion
Kneel down every night. Left arm across waist. Right arm perpendicular to left arm lowering arm so that it lays on top of left arm. Depicting sun setting
And morning: right arm raises back up. Depicting sun rising.

Then I gave all the kids a little piece of yarn to tie around their finger so that they would never forget to pray.
