Have a Primary presidency member teach the plan of salvation, using and displaying the following pictures:

diagram of the plan of salvation (see Primary 6 manual, p. 2);

picture of pre-earth life (Primary 3 manual, picture 3-3);

the world (GAK 600);

helping others (Primary 3 manual, picture 3-27);

a happy family (GAK 616).

Refer to the visual aids as you teach the song "I Will Follow God's Plan" (pp. 164-165).

Divide the Primary into five groups. Assign the first three groups to each listen for either the first, second, or third phrase that begins with "My life." Have the fourth group listen for the words following "My choice," and the fifth group for what we seek. Sing the song up to "direct me from birth." Sing that much of the song again, singing the first two words, then pointing to the group assigned that phrase and having them sing the rest of the phrase with you. Now have the entire Primary sing the completion of each phrase. Point to the appropriate pictures hanging on the wall to help the children remember these phrases: "my life has a plan" (plan of salvation), "in heav'n it began" (pre-earth life), "to this lovely home on earth" (the world).

For the second half of the song, ask the same five groups to listen for the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth "I will" as you sing it through once. Sing the second half again, this time pointing to each group in turn. Have them stand as they sing their phrase to show their commitment to what they will do (follow, work, pray, walk in his way, be happy). Sing the second half a third time, asking the children to stand up when they hear their phrase. Sing the second half of the song once more, pointing to the appropriate picture: "always walk in his way" (helping others) and "I will be happy" (happy family). Have the children sing the entire song. Bear your testimony about the blessings that come from following God's plan.
