"Nephi's Courage"

In The Friend magazine, February issue, the inside back page has a Book of Mormon scripture cutout of Nephi and Laman and Lemuel.  In the April issue there is a cutout of Zeezrom.  I am using him as Laban because he has a frown.  If you want them bigger, enlarge them.  Color an outline of a book brass color to look like the brass plates.  Use these pictures to teach the first verse of "Nephi's Courage."

The second verse, use the picture in the Children's Songbook on page 120 - Nephi building a boat.  Use the cutouts of Laman and Lemuel from the first verse.  Ask two children to be Laman and Lemuel laughing and pointing.  Put all pictures and children in order and sing the second verse.

Draw a picture of the 10 commandment tablets.(1st phrase)  Make a picture of the CTR shield. (2nd phrase)  Draw a frowny face.(3rd phrase)   Write the word "reply" on a word strip. (4th phrase)  Sing the third verse.

Chorus: Write "GO" and "DO" on two word strips or signs.  I attached the words to a stick so the children can hold them when we sing the words.  Sing the chorus for the children then have them sing it with you.

This activity can be divided into 4 weeks or less if time permits.  Once the children know this song, it will be a favorite!
