Description
-Every day begins with an opening assembly featuring plenty of music, a couple of "hip" hosts (could be puppets!), a memory verse taught by Space Commander Joe (use included video or present live -- even with a puppet, if you want!), and offering time.
-Then, the children head out to stations where they will make crafts (like popsicle stick things, sunglasses, kites, etc.), eat snacks, play games, visit Spunky's Clubhouse (set as a wacky children's television show with puppet friends!) during which they will hear the Bible Story for the day and witness an exciting scientific "Object Lesson."
-After all the stations, they return to the main assembly for the "Sock Hop" where they sing lots of fun 50's style music, have opportunity to recite the day's memory verse for a prize, and play silly games. Amongst the hilarity they will be reminded of the day's theme, the day's memory verse, and tie it all up with a bow of fun. One of the unique aspects of Sock Hop is the "framework" of improvisation upon which it is built. There are scripts and instructions, but improvisation is encouraged and "sticking to the script" is not really recommended. The more "your own" you make it, the better the experience it will be for the kids. If you liked the way CAMP! worked, you'll love Sock Hop. |
