97 Visual Consider adding visual interest with text, images, or video displayed on your screen. For a simple option, create a title slide with the musical title that can be shown during the entire musical. During the songs, display the lyrics for everyone to follow along. Use the lyric videos offered to enhance the display! Choreography and Staging Movement adds interest for the audience! It also helps the children remember the lyrics. One or two groups of auditioned dance teams could add interest with more difficult choreography. Try adding a few unified motions to each song for the choir, like large hand motions, raising arms, or swaying. Dance Motion Videos are available to teach the suggested motions for each song. There are choir motions designed for moving on risers, as well as some more difficult moves for use with a dance team. These add great energy but keep safety and space in mind! Teaching Tips and Ideas This musical has so much potential for teaching your kids about the prophecies in the Bible and God kept His promises through Christmas. Pray and ask God what He wants you to emphasize with your kids and where He wants your choir to focus this season. Scripture Support Emphasize one of these verses every week in your choir rehearsal. Take a moment during each rehearsal to pray with the children for God's guidance in sharing the good news of Christmas with those around them. Give opportunities for kids to share what they are learning or opportunities they have had to share the real meaning of Christmas with someone. Prophecies: What is a prophecy? A prophecy is a prediction of what is to come. There are thousands of prophecies in the Bible. These prophecies were inspired by God.
