The Iron Rod part 2

There are only two lines to the verses in this song and then the two-line chorus.  Each verse explains a little more about Lehi's dream which Nephi also received.

• Sing the 1st verse as the children listen.  
• Ask them to tell what Nephi saw in this dream - the Iron Rod.  
• Ask them what the iron rod represents.  The word of God
• Sing the chorus with the children (Use your visual from last week - the iron rod)
• Sing the 1st verse again as the children listen.
• If you choose, make a word chart of this verse. (I teach it without words. Remember that the young children cannot read yet.)
• Show a picture of Nephi - sing the first line.
• Have the children sing it with you  2 or 3 times
• Sing the 2nd line and point to the iron rod.  Remind the children that it is the word of God.
• Have the children sing it with you  2 or 3 times
• Sing both lines together twice then finish with the chorus

The more times you sing it the better the children will remember it.
