Hymns tend to be a little more difficult for the children to learn - especially for the little ones. The more you sing it with them the better they learn and come to love it.
Using the footprints from last week, place them in order on the board and then sing the hymns with the children. If they are still struggling with the words, sing it one or two more times.
Take the footprints down and place them back up in a mixed up order. Ask two or three children to come and place them in order. If they get stumped, sing the song with the children. Remove the footprints and replace them in a mixed up order but this time leave one footprint out (without the children knowing). Have a few children put them in order. See if anyone notices the the missing footprint. Sing the hymn again.
Now place the footprints up in a mixed up order but leave out 3. Sing the hymn again. To end singing time, try singing the hymn with no footprints.
*Plan ahead: Ask the music director for Sacrament meeting to sing "Come Follow Me" in a few weeks. The children's faces will light up as they recognize the hymn.
