Divide the white board into four sections. Write "Faith is" on each section. Have the kids draw a picture for each line (sun, person praying, seed/plant, heart/CTR)

Fourth Article of Faith p. 124
I used the visual from the April 2011 Friend. I enlarged it, and I had the children match up the pictures with the arrows. (Both JR and SR) The fun part of this song are the rests after each number of the principle/ordinance. It is fun to have the kids clap on the rests. In JP, I have them hold up their finger for the number and tap that finger or fingers on the palm of their other hand.

In Senior Primary, we added in the "Learning the Articles of Faith" activity in the September 2009 Friend. I wrote each one on a paper, and I challenged the children to see how quickly they could locate the correct posting.

When I Hear My Father Pray - We used the flip chart from Sugardoodle

Praise to the Man (in SP) - we used rhythm sticks. One side of the room tapped the rhythm and the other the beat. Finally, I challenged them to tap the beat with their foot and use the sticks to tap out the rhythm
