Music class for VBS

I am teaching a music class for VBS our theme is Ocean Odyssey.
I really could use some help.

Does anyone have any suggestions on Christmas plays?

Our church did a great little play this past Christmas called, "Three Wise Men And A Baby". Written by, Jeff Parker and Nathan Carlson. It had humorous dialogue with a Christmas message and music incorporated into it. It was great! (I think you can get it through your local Christian bookstore.)

I am very interested in any information about craft and decorating ideas
for VBS' Ocean Odyssey for older youth and adults.

Thanks,

Puppet Ministry?

Our church is rather small - but growing. We are trying to launch into a
"puppet ministry" so thought you could be of help to us in this endeavor.
Any suggestions? Thanks so much.

Make A Coupon Book For Mother's Day:

Take sheets of paper and cut it into rectangles, then on as many as you want write
things like you "Get a free hug on this day:______", or "I will make my bed
on this day:_____.", "Good for one free Hug!", "Good for one Room Clean Up",
"Good for Breakfast in Bed (with help from Dad)", "Good for one Kiss", etc.
Then have the child draw a little picture on each "Coupon" and color with
markers. You can also add little black dashes around the edges of each to
resemble a real coupon. Make a cover for the coupon book that says "Coupon
Book For Mom". Then when you are finished, staple it together and you have a
sweet little coupon book for Mom.

A Scripture verse for MOMS!

"Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Proverbs 31:28-29
