My 7 year old daughter organised our lesson for FHE (Family Home Evening) and she did an amazing job, and yes, she did it all by herself!! It was sooooo simple, but it was really effective and worked for ALL our family aged from 12 to 3 years...and yes, my husband and I are older than 12 years of age, but maybe not mentally, haha!! ;)
This is the script that she read to explain her lesson, in case you can't read it I've typed it out below, spelling mistakes and all...
Love it!!! She inserted an additional action for when she said 'Daniel', the boys would have to fold their arms (as well as crossing their legs) so that it would look like they were praying.
She then held up the picture from our Gospel Art Box to show everyone, and then commenced reading the story that is printed on the back....and that was it (told you it was simple).
It was heaps of fun and everybody listened very intently to the story, so that they wouldn't miss out any of the acting. Our lions got a tad ferocious at one point during the reading and attacked daddy, haha...and by the end of the story everyone was acting out all the parts named.
She was really proud of herself at the end of it all, and so she should be. It really was such a lovely night and everybody loved her lesson and EVERYBODY got involved, no tears tonight (woohooo!), just lots of KugAlls!!
'Ok. So this is a kind of game but it is a listening game so you have to listen very carefuly.
So if I say lion you get down on the floor with your hands and feet, and ROAR as loud as you can,
but not that loud so you crack a window.
And the next rule is when I say Daniel you sit down if your a boy and when you sit down you cross your legs.
And if I say King all the girls act posh like a queen, but you can't be one because their weren't a girl in the story.'

ps I've checked store.lds.org and I can't find the Gospel Art Box listed anymore (the Gospel Art book doesn't have the words on the back of the pictures)....but you could use the script from this Old Testament Stories (it's not as long though).
