Tonight there will be a performance and reception for all of the students that participated in Vacation Bible School at Tabor United Methodist Church. We managed to take five days of materials and put it into three days :). We had about 30 kids participate this year. They will be performing a variety of songs that they learned this week!
During these three days, I was in charge of Rocket Rec, which was their recreation time. I had every intention of using the activities provided so that we could build upon the things that they were learning in the other areas. That worked with moderate success. It didn't take me long to realize that with the little ones, simple was best. We had more fun playing Duck, Duck, Goose and tag. At least I made them tired for their future rotations. Otherwise...they were constantly in motion.
With the older kids, I had a little bit more success. We managed to work in activities in three of our meetings that related to the topic of the day. One day involved a game of kickball (morale was low) and today was a review. Hopefully they learned something!
I am not all that good with kids, so this was a good opportunity for me :).
