Then go through different body parts helping them see that their bodies are like their Heavenly Father's body.

Additional Ideas:

Bring a mirror so that they can see their faces as you help them remember that they are a Child of God.

Draw a circle for them on a paper and let them draw their face.

Transition Idea:

It's important to have a way to transition from one activity to another especially when you are starting a lesson. One easy way to transition into your lesson it to play "If you're ready."

You'll give simple directions such as "If you're ready to learn touch your nose." "If you're ready to learn wiggle your fingers." I always like to end with "If you're ready to learn fold your arms." This can be a good opportunity to get some wiggles out and get the children sitting and ready for the lesson.
