- 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.
