This song has a lot of words in the verses, plus a catchy, but complicated rhythm in the chorus. Because of that, the children need to feel the beat and rhythms of the song in their bodies (the first and second activities).

They need a chance to focus on the words once they have heard the song and experienced it (Action word actions and match the meaning).

Because there are a lot of words, the younger children may also need more time moving to and experiencing the song than the older children, thus the 5 different activities, instead of just 4.

In addition, Christ's visit is an amazing highlight of the Book of Mormon and the silent video activity will help connect this song to a visual representation of this story.
