Praise to the Man -
In Junior Primary, we did "fancy feet" to review verse one. I put up color cards: I put up red for the quarter notes, blue for the dotted eighth notes, green for the eigth notes, and yellow for the whole notes. Then, we did actions for each color. We hopped on red, step and quick kick on blue, and stepped/stepped on green, and put our hands on our legs for yellow.

For the chorus, I copied the actions from a sister on the Primary Music Yahoo group.
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven! Clap quietly with beat, rise hands
up as clapping for ascended.
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain. One fist up , other fist up, 2
punches (kids love this) then make X with arms still fisted
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren; Hands up palms facing each
other and intertwine fingers, Plan- one hand like paper other like pen
Death cannot conquer the hero again. Shake head, then stand like a hero with
fists on hips- legs apart- stand tall J

In Senior Primary, I showed the clip from Youtube of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing the song:

Then, we played the synonym game loosely based on the game on The Children Sing Blog.

Finally, in both Junior and Senior we played heads/tails to review songs. If the coin they flipped landed on heads, they chose a card from a pile of songs. If it landed on tails, they pulled from a challenge pile to "do" something. Some of the challenges included: giving all the grown ups in the room a high five, telling a favorite scripture story, choosing a wiggle song and leading it, naming the members of the bishopric, and naming all the kids in their class.
