Follow the Prophet - Samuel

Chances are that many promary children know this song - or at least a few verses.  The middle verses seem to be often over looked.  Verse number 6 is the least known.  Samuel chosen to be a prophet when he was only a boy is a great story.  Use a picture (from the ward library) to share the story.  Sing the first two lines and then have the children sing it with you.  Ask the boys to sing it then the girls.  Ask the teachers to sing it then everyone.  Now sing the last two lines then have everyone sing it twice.  Challenge them to sing the whole verse followed by the chorus.  Have one side of the room sing the verse and the other side sing the chorus then change sides and sing it. 

When you do different things as you are repeating and learning songs, the children (and teachers) are more engaged and learn the song without realizing that they have sung it several times.
