As the child is pinning on Moroni (feel free to blindfold and gently spin beforehand), the primary will sing the song.
Make sure to tell the kids that they need to listen to the words as they sing so they can answer the questions correctly to get a turn ;). Only great singers will get a chance to answer a question. I’ll obviously be less stringent with Junior primary than I will be with Senior primary.
Bear testimony that the temple is a holy place. If you prepare now, you will be able to go there someday!
Variation
This mostly applies to Jr. Pick the best singers (eventually everyone got a turn :), to walk from the back of the room to the temple with Moroni in their hands and pin him on as the primary sings. In between turns, go over some of the questions together as a group.
Hopefully you will be able to review the song over and over again as each child gets a turn to pin Moroni on the temple!
