President Gordon B. Hinckley reminds us of the importance of keeping theSabbath Day holy in this short video- 
Keeping the Sabbath.

In the October 2000 General Conference H. Aldridge Gillespie Spoke on this topic in his talk-

Repeat it a few times and encourage the children to sing it with you.

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.
