The words are by © John Hardwick and used with permission. Please do not pass it on outside the IDEAS scheme and declare its use on your CCLI report. We find that a bible-bop is a great way of moving from the games into the worship. Children prefer this to singing and this will draw them to the worship area. We suggest using it again after tea to draw people back to the worship area.

Craft

Each month we suggest a couple of crafts. One is a corporate activity to produce something to put up on the wall or in the church to show that children are present, active and part of the church. The other is individual for them to make something and take it home.

This month's corporate activity is to make a burning bush. We suggest getting a branch of some kind and wedging it into a pot and then getting the children to colour in flames and then writing or drawing a concern on the other side. In the prayers they will be given an opportunity to hand their flames onto the tree. We would suggest keeping the bush in the front of the church for the following week. If you wish you can take this craft further by adding bits of foil etc.

The individual craft activity is to draw a burning bush by dripping paint onto paper and then blowing through a straw to spread it out. There are instructions and a template at Danielle's Place of Crafts and Activities on the Bible Themes Moses Page.

Tea

We have found that sandwiches, crisps, sausage rolls, pizza, jelly and ice cream make a really good Sunday tea. The Notes suggest a number of "I wonder questions" to start conversations about the video and the story.
