I like the rhyming words at the end of each phrase. This can help the children (and adults) learn the words.
- Make word strips of the rhyming words and put them on the board in no order.
- Sing the song and see how many words the children can put in order. (Not just rhyming words but in the correct order,)
- Sing it again until the words are all in order.
- Sing the first 2 lines with the children pointing to the words as you sing them. Sing it 2 more times with the children.
- Do the same thing with the last 2 lines.
Sing the second verse.
- Ask the children what "covenant" means. Help them understand the meaning. (The phrase right after defines it. "promise to obey")
- Explain what "sealed" means. ("a family is forever")
- Use rhyming word strips to help teach this verse.
Other suggestions:
- Show pictures of the Temple.
- Ask the children if they have been to see a Temple. Which one or ones?
- How can we prepare ourselves to go to the Temple?
