Missionaries Then and Now Lesson Plan

THE PLAN:

1) Stripling Warriors

Who were they? (Link to LDS.org resources)

See OCD Chorister's visual for the Stripling Warriors.

2) Modern Missionaries

Talk about being a Missionary nowadays.

3) Learn/Sing Bring the World His Truth (#172)

Sing through first and second verse a few times.

4) Stripling Warrior/Missionary Lyric Showdown

• Enlist all children to be in the “Army”. Everyone must sing for us to be successful. They will hum and march to help our “Captains”.
• Have two buzzers up front.
• Invite two children up to be the “Captains”. Dress one Captain in headband and cape, other wears a tie and missionary badge.
• Pianist plays Bring The World His Truth (#172).
• Children in the “Army” hum and march (or clap rhythm).
• When Pianist stops playing Captains race each other to buzz in first to see who knows the next lyrics
• ---*Maybe keep tab marks on the board under the names“Stripling Warriors” and “Modern Missionaries”
• REPEAT

PREP:
