I also came up with a video with scarf movements. You could easily modify it to ribbon wands if you wanted too. Check it out here:
Nephi Gets the Plates Activity
I saw a fun idea for sharing the story of Nephi getting the plates. So I printed up pictures and scriptures to go along with the activity. Basically you print the story pictures and put colored paper
on the backs. I just taped them to the story pictures and wrote the numbers on them. Then you flip over the start page with the start of the lyrics. After that I watched for classes singing well. I asked their teachers to pick a child from their class to pick the next number. The idea is it would be a number touching the last lyrics. If they got the lyrics right, we sang up to as far as the lyrics went. If they got them wrong, we hit an obstacle Nephi had to overcome to get the plates. I mostly just talked about the story if they got it wrong or shared a small part of the scripture listed. I wanted to add the full scripture in case I needed reminders for future years. The kids loved this game! Even the Senior Primary got into it and at the end wanted to hear all the obstacles. When we got to the end, I just shared the last few pictures. And for the lyrics part of the song, I just used my flip chart images. Here is the link for the scripture images:
I am sure I will come up with more fun ideas for this song. I will add them to this post as I do. Happy Singing :)
