I like to use a ribbon box to review. I have
a box about the size of a tissue box that has a slit cut in the lid, like the
slot in a piggy bank. Inside is one very long ribbon. It is made of 2"wide
pink, blue, and white ribbon cut into various lengths and stitched together. I
start by slowly pulling the ribbon out of the box. When pink shows the girls
sing, when blue shows the boys sing, when white shows everyone sings. Hope this
makes sense. Imagine a magician pulling his never-ending string of scarves out
of his black magic hat. Oh there's an idea. If you were planning on using the
magic water already, you could add the magic box of ribbon, and maybe some other
things? Like letting a child lead with a magic wand, or as someone else
suggested letting the magic wand choose who sings the next line of the song.
You know that game where you turn three cups upside down on the table and put a
ball under one, then move the cups all around until your volunteer has lost
track of where it is and then they have to guess the location of the ball?
There is a object lesson about the Holy Ghost it uses three boxes and a mouse
trap. You bring a child up front. Set the mouse trap and place it in one of
the boxes and put a piece of candy or a toy in the other two boxes. Blind fold
the child and tell them you are now going to switch the boxes around. Tell the
blind folded child to go ahead and try and find the candy/toy. Most kids wont
try because they are afraid of getting the mouse trap instead. Tell the child
to ask a friend or their teacher to come up and help. That person directs the
child's hand to the candy/toy. You then compare the voice of the friend or
teacher to the Holy Ghost. Maybe you could use this to introduce the "The Holy
Ghost" song.
