Subject: [primusic] Re: Nephi's Courage hand motions

 

My primary LOVES this song.  I use it as a wiggle song.  Here's what we do:

I took some time to explain the scripture stories for these.

I get all my sign language (ASL) from this site:  http://www.aslpro.com/cgi-bin/aslpro/aslpro.cgi

 

The Lord commanded (ASL- "please") Nephi to go and get the plates  (hands like a book)

From the wicked Laban (act like Laban laying on ground, just lean over) 

inside the city gates.  (hold hands out in front like gates opening)
Laman and Lemuel (hold up one index finger in front and then hold up the other index finger)

were both afraid to try. (have both index fingers tremble)
Nephi was courageous. (hands on hips, feet slightly apart, superhero style)

This was his reply:

 

Chorus
"I will go; (take a step forward from Nephi stance, punching hand forward in air)

I will do (take a step forward from Nephi stance, punching hand forward in air)

the thing the Lord commands.  (ASL "please")
I know (point to forehead)  the Lord provides a way;

he wants me to obey.  (at same time, do a soldier salute and jump, as if jumping to obey)
"I will go; (take a step forward from Nephi stance, punching hand forward in air)

I will do (take a step forward from Nephi stance, punching hand forward in air)

the thing the Lord commands.  (ASL "please")
I know (point to forehead)  the Lord provides a way;

he wants me to obey.  (at same time, do a soldier salute and jump, as if jumping to obey)

 

The Lord commanded (ASL "please") Nephi to go and build a boat.   (make hand motion like water waves)
Nephi's older brothers (two index fingers out in front)
believed it would not float.  (plug your nose and lower yourself like sinking, like the dance move)

Laughing and mocking, (put hands over mouth, act like laughing and point)

they said he should not try.   (wiggle finger like "no-no")
Nephi was courageous. (hands on hips, feet slightly apart, superhero style)

This was his reply:

 

CHORUS

 

The Lord gives us commandments (ASL "please") and asks us to obey.   (salute like a soldier and jump)
Sometimes I am tempted to choose another way.   (point in all kinds of directions)
When I'm discouraged, (pretend to rub eyes as if crying) and think I cannot try, 
I will be courageous, (hands on hips, feet slightly apart, superhero style)

and I will reply:

 

CHORUS

 

Have fun,

Lara Parker
