The Things I Do
Invite the children to listen while you sing the first phrase
to discover why Primary children don’t go abroad to teach and preach the
word of God. Have the child who answers correctly draw on the chalkboard a
picture that helps illustrate that phrase while the rest of the children
sing it with you.
Invite the children to listen while you sing the second
phrase to discover how they can show that they know that the word of God is
true. Repeat the process of having a child draw while the others sing the
phrase.
Have the children clap or tap the short-long-short-long
rhythm of the first verse while they sing it. This rhythm is used for verses
1, 2, and the first part of verse 4. Repeat the process of asking
questions, drawing pictures, and tapping the rhythm for the second verse.
Before beginning verse 3, have the children tap the straight
count beat. While they listen to the words and draw pictures, ask them to
think about the reason the composer chose to make verse 3 a different
rhythm. Discuss how verse 3 talks about being in church. Perhaps the rhythm
of verses 1, 2, and 4 feel like skipping, which would not be appropriate at
church. Instead, children walk to show their reverence because church is a
sacred place. Continue with teaching verse 4 by asking questions, drawing pictures, and tapping the rhythm. Bear testimony of the great influence that children have when they set good examples and do things that show that they know the Church is true. Express gratitude for the teachings of the prophets, who help all members of the Church know what to do.
