Try Something New

It is not a rule that the oldest children sit in the back of the primary room.  If you are struggling with a particular class.  Maybe they are not participating, paying attention, or they are talking too much. You could try moving them to the front row.  Tell them you are trying something new and that you need their help.  Tell them you want primary to be a place where everyone can feel the spirit and that you need them to sit in the front row to be good examples of reverence for the younger kids in primary.  Tell them you need them to participate and to sing their best so that the little ones watching them will want to sing with their hearts and be reverent also.  Try it out, it might just be the thing that works.
