A couple things to remember and/or use when teaching this lesson, especially as it relates to teaching the younger children.
The Pointing GameAsk for a volunteer. Explain that they only have one job, to point to what you say.Say things like, “Where's the door?” "Where's the chalkboard?"  "Where's the clock?" Have the child point out each item you say.Let several children have a turn. Each time emphasize that they only have one job to do, point the way to each thing you call out.Both the law (MOSES) and the prophets (ELIJAH) only had one job to do, point the way to Jesus. Everything that Moses and Elijah had written would be fulfilled by Jesus, the Savior of the world. So Peter, James, and John were to see that Moses and Elijah had pointed the way to Jesus.
Hidden MessagesObject lessons with "hidden" messages will help show what this lesson is teaching about the Old Testament and Jesus.  Here is an example of such an object lesson.http://aprilfiet.com/theology-culture/now-see-transfiguration-sunday-childrens-lesson
