The kids recognized this as a mountain. The thunder and shofar blasts on a cd created the atmosphere. The black thing at the top was a spot light that I used for the lightning. As the cd played, I wiggled the plug in the outlet to make the light 'flash'.
Then the children became the priests that had to 'barricade' the bottom of the mountain so that no one would touch it and die. We had cardboard boxes that were for poster boards and used them to create the barricade. The children added the caution and stop signs so that people would understand to keep back.
After we were done we prayed and declared healing for a few of the parents that had medical issues. The greatest prayer was from Andrew (5 years old). "Please God, don't do this again!" I totally agreed.
What a joy!
I am leaving all of these props up until the end of the quarter. We had been on a terrific journey and the children remember as we look around the room.
Now, we're on to the Ten Commandments!
