We taught this song for Singing time/Sharing time a few weeks ago. One of the councilors had children in the primary research and report on each of the 12 apostles. The children presented the information to the whole primary. After they were familiar with each apostle, his name, and information about him we started learning the song. The children really loved it. Many of you will remember the tune (Beverly Hill Billies) and once you pick up on the tune than the words come right along after. I have the sheet music, but I think that you can also find it online as well.
I looked up pictures about each one and put them in the bottom corner of each apostles picture, (ie I put a photo of a surgeon on Russel M. Nelson). We sang the song several times and than I started to hide the names and remove the pictures. By the end of singing time we knew nearly all the words. We sang the song again the next week. The children did really well remembering everything. It is a fun way to help them remember the names of the 12 apostles!

Love it! I'm totally going to do this. I think it would be a great way to prep for General Conference.
That was really cute - I found a link for the sheet music for it -
