3 ideas on how to teach the First Vision
Could Joseph Smith really translate the Book of Mormon??
First Vision - If you talk about the grove of trees and Joseph's first vision, have the children get in the mood by kneeling on the floor and closing their eyes. Ask them to imagine what the grove was like. Then play a tape with recorded birds chirping. These tapes are becoming quite popular and lots of people have them. Check your local library or ask a friend! (Idea by Shanna Dayton)

The Lord prepares the way for the Restoration

MUSIC:

A Young Boy Named Joseph
Follow the Prophet verse written by Linda Terry
Sung to "Follow the Prophet" (Primary Children's Hymnbook)
Joseph was a prophet
First one of our day,
He saw God and Jesus when he went to pray
He prayed with great faith to know which church was true
Jesus said to join none
Truth shall come thru you.
