Word strips with question marks found 2018 can be downloaded HERE – just note that this document is 42 pages long so only print what you need, there’s enough for 3 verses with a color and b&w option! I was asked to create 3rd verse visuals with exclamation points instead of question marks since the 3rd verse is more statements rather than questions. You can find those using my access button at the bottom of this post (there’s a color and b&w version).
I really liked Pat Graham’s “Attention Getter” for this song. She really brings the meaning to the children’s level. You can find her demonstration of it by going HERE and scrolling down to video “Part 8” and it’s about 5:45 into the video. I “made” some cookies I’ll cut out and bring to church that you can also download using the button below.
I’ve been reviewing Sara’s video and won’t be bringing it to church. I make sure I know it well enough and jot down simple notes in case I draw a blank while I’m up front (can’t say that’s never happened before!). I like to learn everything backwards (so I mirror what I see) then have the kids mirror me, it’s easiest for them this way.
I think it would be really cute to pass out a chocolate chip cookie (maybe store-bought) and a napkin at the end (if it’s not fast Sunday) only because it coincides so well with the lesson.

Thank you for this great idea! I will be using it this Sunday as I teach the song to Jr. Primary. I love the ASL but I worry about them learning ALL of it so I think I'm going to take a sign or two and use it for each phrase, or think up some other way to sign it because I know the kids learn better with actions.
Hi Camille! So I found the exact photos that the church website used. Here is the link. https://www.lds.org/media-library/images/if-the-savior-stood-beside-me?lang=eng. I stumble across them in the LDS Media Library when I typed in saviour.
Great work on this blog. I’m a huge fan!

Seriously you are amazing! You are like the sally Deford of Primary choristers. I aa so grateful for you!!
I love this and plan on using it with my primary. Is there any way to change verse 3 to exclamation points instead of question marks? To me, that verse is more declarative than questioning.
Hi Pam Opp,
Great idea! See how these work for you:
