Here is an idea from Christy's Clipart.
"I
really loved the way the Primary General Board members taught this when
they came and did a music workshop in our stake.
Attention Getter: GAK 240 (Jesus Christ) and a mirror. She had a child
come up and look at the picture and the mirror and tell the things that
were similar (two eyes, hair, smile, red shirt, etc…). Our goal is to be
like Jesus and Heavenly Father. She asked if we would actually start to
look like Jesus as we followed his example. Scriptures: 3 Nephi
11:6-8, John 13: 34-35, Alma 5:14
At this point she began teaching the song. She would direct our listening
and then sing a line. She would say, "Who am I trying to be like?" and
then sing, "I'm trying to be like Jesus." Then she would say, "If you are
trying to be like Jesus, too, sing this line with me." "Now listen to what
I am doing to be more like Jesus." "I'm following in his ways." "If you
are trying to follow in Jesus' ways, too, sing that line with me." Etc…
She did this until she got to the line, "But I try to listen as the still
small voice whispers," (Her listening prompt for this was, "What is
another name for the Holy Ghost?"). She said, "Sing to this point and then
listen very carefully and I will whisper what the still small voice says."
Then she had them repeat it in a whisper. She then challenged them to
listen to the still small voice during the week and bore her testimony (it
only took 30 seconds to bear testimony here) of the Holy Ghost. She said
this is as far as she would go on this song in one week. She stressed that
we often try to teach too much in one week. Variety: A comparison to a
song with a similar message, "Love One Another" (CS 136) Involvement: She
had a poster with Christ's picture and a mirror in the middle and pockets
around them labeled with letters spelling GENTLE and LOVING. In each
pocket there were red and blue cards. Red cards were thought cards and
blue cards were deed cards. She had a child come up and draw either a
thought or a deed card and read it aloud. She said to be sure to use
situations that are familiar to the children or you will loose their
attention. For example, you wouldn't use a situation about being cut off
by a bad driver with Primary children, you would use a situation about a
bully or problems at school, etc… After the child read the situation,
before they answered the situation, she had the children sing "Love one
another as Jesus loves you…" to the end of the song. Then the child would
answer what to do in that situation. After they answered she showed the
child the picture of Jesus and had them look into the mirror and praised
them that they were becoming more like Jesus because they were making the
right choices." (Idea by Shauna)
Help the children choose visual aids for this month’s song,
“I’m Trying to Be like Jesus” (pp. 78–79). Choose pictures from the GAK
and the Primary 7 manual picture kit that depict scenes from
Jesus’ life. Also choose pictures from the Primary 1, 2, and
3 manual picture kits of children involved in acts of kindness or
service and of children who are facing moral dilemmas. Hang the pictures
around the Primary room, leaving the front wall blank. Teach the song at
the beginning of Sharing Time. Instruct the children to listen while you
sing the song and to think which of the pictures would help them remember
the words. Sing the entire song. Then sing the first phrase, “I’m trying
to be like Jesus.” Have a child choose a picture that helps her or him
remember that phrase; move it to the front wall. Have everyone sing the
first phrase. Repeat for each phrase of the song. Have the children sing
the entire song several times. At the end of Sharing Time, review
the song by placing the chosen pictures on the wall in random order. As
the Primary sings the song, have a child find the picture for the first
phrase and hold it. Select other children to choose and hold the pictures
in order as the Primary continues to sing. If you have separate Sharing
Times for younger and older children, record the order of the pictures
chosen by each group so that the same ones can be used for the song in
upcoming weeks. (Taken from March 2002 Sharing Time Suggestion)
