Today at church we are having a primary activity called "A walk with the prophets" and we are supposed to dress up like ancient people. I don't know how I'm going to accomplish this because I own no ancient garb... not even a bath robe! However this reminded me of when I was little and I was in primary. There was a man who came to our primary dressed as a lamanite. I think he was a native american and he wore some animal skins and had a big staff. He stood on the small table in the primary room and all the lights were off except for one flashlight that someone sprayed on him. He then either recited some dialog or acted to some recording. It was so impressive. I think we were trying to learn the words to "Samuel Tells of Baby Jesus."
The image of a "lamanite prophet" is burned into my memory. I haven't recalled it in a long time, but I'm pretty sure it made an impact on my life. I hope every primary child has some experiences like this one (I don't think it will be me generating it today, though).
