After you teach the 6th verse (Samuel) of Follow the Prophet, follow up with this activity.
Ask the children if they remember who said, "Here I am." Then ask who was his mother. If they can't remember, have them sing verse 6. Repeat the questions and they will be able to answer. Sing it one more time.
Now divide the room in half and have one side sing the first verse - Adam. Have the other side sing the 6th verse - Samuel. Which side was better? Chances are that the first side was better because they knew the first verse better. Switch sides and sing the verses again. Did the "Samuel" side sound any better? When the children realize that it's a "contest," they seem to try a little harder.
Sing the 6th verse two more times with all the children. Now try the "contest" again. Change sides so both sides have the same opportunity. End by singing the chorus all together.
