Pictures for Pioneer Children Were Quick to Obey

These are pictures I drew for Pioneer Children Were Quick to Obey, Verses 1 and 3.

'walking by wagons' & 'then in the firelight' are out of order. It was late when I was doing this.  ;)

1. Pioneer children were quick to obey
Walking along by the wagons all day  

Then in the firelight, kneeling to pray
Little pioneer children.                        

2. (no drawn pictures...)
Carrying water and gathering wood    
Building a campfire and cooking the food    
Learning and helping the best that they could 
Little pioneer children.

3. Children today can be pioneers too
Willing and cheerful in all that we do
Walking our pathway with heaven in view  
Little pioneer children.

As Obedient As Pioneer Children

source

This activity is for the song Pioneer Children Were Quick to Obey.

1. Have cards with activities on them.
2. Tell the children that someone will come up front and we all can all be as obedient as Pioneers and we will obey whatever the child says to do.
3. Ask a child to come up front and pick a card.
4. Have the child tell the rest of the Primary what to do.
5. Do it as a Primary.
6. Repeat.

Some ideas for the cards might be:

• These Pioneer-ways-to-sing the song you're working on (that way you're getting some singing in there!)
• Pantomime these every day Pioneer activities
• Physical activity, such as; 5 jumps on one foot, roll your hands, jumping jacks, reverently applaud the Pianist, stand up and take a bow, pat yourself on the back....
