I also am using a wonderful visual/object lesson to review this song tomorrow in primary. Kids love object lessons and I thought this was a great one (see the blog post in its entirety by clicking here, courtesy Nalani at intheleafytreetopsthebirdssing.blogspot.com)
The items you will need are:
- 2 clear dishes (glass cake dishes are suggested)
- Flat top rock placed in one of the dishes
- Sand
- 2 houses to fit on rock/sand mound
- Watering can or container filled with water
- Towel or fabric for cleaning up messes
- Towel or fabric to keep your display hidden until it is time to present

You can probably envision what happens once you pour the water in to each dish. Nalani has some great questions to pose as you go along to make the kids think. I am also going to challenge the senior primary to scripture chase some scriptures that would pertain to this song. (We have a gumball machine we are filling up and they will get extra gumballs if they can find the scriptures without any assistance).
I have fallen in love with this song and the arrangement found on Terri Hutchings Music blog. What a great way to make the kids excited about a song they already know the words to so well.
How's your program coming?? Is it getting close for you too? D-day is September 16th for us!! I think I might record some of our dress rehearsals so we can play it back for the kiddos. Who doesn't like seeing themselves on camera?!? :D Good luck! Review, review, review and have fun!
