3 VBS 2016 Director s Notes Music can lead a child to the foot of the cross. I ve seen it happen. or one girl I know, now a beautiful young woman, she was oblivious to the gospel message until she rehearsed music for our church hristmas program. While singing ood hristian Men, Reoice, this girl pondered the phrase, Now ye need not fear the grave. She wondered if it was truly possible to be unafraid of death. The Holy Spirit convicted her heart of her need for Jesus, and she gave her life to Him not long afterward. We have a tremendous opportunity in front of us. Some children who may never pick up the Bible can have the truth of His Word introduced to their hearts and minds through thoughtful words, fun melodies and catchy rhythms. Leading out in music can and will have an impact on young hearts for eternity. You are an invaluable part of the Lord s work. Have fun, praise our Savior and your oy will be contagious to these precious children! Here ome the onquerors Motions are fun and easy with this tune, and it will get the blood pumping! At the opening line, Lift your head up to the sky, have the children look up and shade their eyes as if looking into the sun. At zooming in, imitate a plane with arms outstretched. Adventure calls is shown by cupping their hands around their mouths like they are shouting. The students should pump their fists in the air and shout, Let s go! Every time the word conquerors is sung, children should place their hands on their hips and strike a superhero stance. When singing, There s not a thing to keep us down, the children should slowly lower themselves to a squatting position and slowly rise up during we re rising straight up off the ground. During the bridge, keep the conqueror pose until the group sings, No enemy can stand against us. Hold up hand, palms facing outward and push as if trying to push an attacker away. At the end of the song, children should mimic the motion of a speeding et with their hands at Zoom! yank their hands back into a fist at hug! and push their hands forward, palms out when they sing Splat! These words paint the picture of the airship used in the VBS theme. Shaken Up The part of this song children will love is the shaken up moments. Have them shake their hands in rhythm and move their hands upward by increments when chanting up, up, up, up. You could even ask the students to knock their knees together as if afraid while shaking their hands if they can pull it off without falling over. When singing, When I want to hide, children should wrap their arms over their heads as if afraid and then move their hands into fists placed over their hearts when they sing, I will abide. When the shaken up section repeats at the end, you may also have the students stomp in coordination with the up, up, up, up rhythm. T-R-U-S-T Before starting this song, collect eleven pieces of heavy cardstock or other stiff paper and on each one, using a Sharpie, write ust one letter: T, R, U, S, T, A,, R, A, I, D. Distribute these letters to designated children, lining them up in order to spell the words of the song. During the chorus, have the appropriate child hold up the sign for his letter when singing either T-R-U-S-T and A--R-A-I-D. hildren love having the responsibility of being the letter guy and the task will get harder as the song speeds up! The rest of the children can easily act out the motions of this fun tune. While singing, When giants come and scare me, have students lumber side to side, arms outstretched until they come to have me shaking in my boots. They can then knock their knees together and look afraid. Likewise, at I won t run, have them place their hands on their hips in a show of courage and cross their arms over their hearts during my od is with me. Director s Notes 5

4 After singing, When giants roar, the children love to roar as loud as they can and then mimic a giant crumpling over. Add in whatever motions that work best for your group. I Will all on Jesus This song has a distinct Israeli feel to it, so using light instruments like shakers would work very well. These can either be store-bought or made during craft time using emptied medicine bottles, Tic Tac boxes or other small containers and filling them with dry rice, uncooked beans and so forth. Take a Stand When singing, pull you down, have the children hunch their shoulders and then raise their hands in a questioning gesture when they come to Who will you listen to Mimic the action of ripping something away from another s hands at steal that toy. Have one child or an adult speak or sing the phrase, Is that true Students should shake their heads and shout No! before giving a thumbs down and booing Satan. Every time the students sing, peer pressure, have them lean in, pressing in to the center of the group as if squeezing the middle. Just make sure the children in the middle are not actually suffocating from overly enthusiastic children. At the end of the chorus, have the children slowly bow at Don t bow down and then stand quickly to their feet and strike a soldier like pose at Worship od and take a stand. Mimic the same action the children used at peer pressure when they sing don t give in to the crowd. od of the Impossible Way This song would benefit from the use of sticks ministry. If you ve never used this approach before, it s fairly simple. Each child gets two dowel rods and then uses the sticks to act out the motions of the song. Some churches even spray paint their dowel rods white and use a black light for special effect. If you search stick ministry, you will get hundreds of links to videos using them in a variety of ways. If sticks ministry isn t a good fit for your church (or if you fear sticks in the hands of rambunctious children would lead to an ER visit), these motions can ust as easily be adapted by using arms. Sensational arc sticks overhead, bringing them slowly down on either side of the body. Unforgettable hold arms on either side of the body (resembling the cross) and slowly bring them toward the center, arms straight. Obey cross sticks over the heart, close to the chest. Unstoppable step one foot forward, holding the sticks out, arms straight and in an X. Don t let fear take hold of you make small spiral motions above the head, lowering the arms slowly, keeping the circular motion going. Obey cross sticks over the heart, close to the chest. ourage points stick out straight ahead, arms straight and parallel. Encouragement slowly raise sticks to the ceiling from the courage position. Discouraged lower sticks to either side of the body, hanging low. hildren should slightly bow their heads. Predicament slowly raise right hand and then the left to chest level. od point sticks overhead in a V. Impossible hold stick in front of the chest in an X. Way sticks out parallel and forward, arms straight. Trust get down on one knee, sticks at their sides. Obey cross sticks over the heart, close to the chest. You will see raise face to the sky, keeping the sticks crossed over the chest. What od does when you believe quickly rise to standing. Repeat motions as necessary. 6 Songbook
