I did something really fun to teach the kid's the first verse of When I Am Baptized.
Ask the children:
What is a rainbow?
When do we see rainbows?
Sing: I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain.
Why do we see rainbows?
Show picture of Noah and the Ark 62053
Explain Genesis 9:8-17
Sing: And ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.
Read Acts 2:38
Show pcitures of Earth 62018 and Child being Baptized 62196
Sing: I want my life to be as clan as earth right after rain
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.
I found a pack of 10 Sparkly Rainbows at the dollar store,
I have had them for months trying to figure out how I might use them.
Have two children stand in the front, split the children into two groups and have them follow their rainbow leader.
Instruct that everyone should sing the song, however when the child turns around to reveal the rainbow you must stand up and sing in a more strong and beautiful voice.
The best part was when I chose the male primary teachers to come be the rainbow leaders, Brother L kept jumping back and forth and the kids kept sitting and standing almost instantaniously. It was hilarious.
It was a little rowdy, but the kids learned the song through repetition and fun.
