Kingdom Opportunity - Castle Themed Vbs Decorations
High schoolhouse math instructor is simply ane of the growing discover of hats that I wear. This volition last the 3rd yr that I serve every bit Vacation Bible School Director (VBS) for my church. I approximate it's a operate that I kinda grew into. I've been going to the same church building since the summertime afterward I completed the fourth grade. The offset fourth dimension my work solid unit of measurement visited this church building was truly for VBS. That led to an invitation to church building camp, as well as long storey short, nosotros never left. The summertime afterward I finished the seventh grade, I started volunteering every bit a helper during VBS. And, my operate has exclusively grown since then. Now, I'm inward accuse of organizing volunteers, emceeing our programs, as well as making certain everything runs smoothly.
Since I attend a rattling pocket-size church, nosotros accept to brand a lot of modifications to brand purchased curriculum materials piece of work for us. So, for the yesteryear few years, nosotros accept created our ain curriculum.
Last year, our topic was Kingdom Adventure. And, nosotros spent the calendar week exploring the stories of diverse kings as well as queens inward the bible. This year, our topic is River of Life. We volition last studying iv water-themed stories: Baby Moses, Crossing the Red Sea, The Woman at the Well, as well as Jesus' Baptism. As I've been desperately searching Pinterest for river/water-themed ornament ideas, I realized that I should part the decorations nosotros made terminal yr alongside the world.
So, this isn't math. But, this my blog. And, my life revolves around to a greater extent than than math (hard to believe, I know!), hence it would brand feel that this weblog would, too. So, if you're non inward the mood to run into our medieval / kingdom themed decorations, come upward dorsum tomorrow for something different!
We taped flags to each postal service inward the sanctuary. And, the walls were lined alongside shields made out of cardboard, aluminum foil, as well as shiny wrapping paper.
One of the volunteers made this slice of medieval weaponry to hang on the wall.
Here's a close-up of ane of our aluminum foil shields. We made quite a few of these because they were super fast as well as tardily to make.
We made mistaken windows to hang inward our arts and crafts room.
I intend the windows helped spice upward an otherwise drab room.
Scroll signs were made to hang on each classroom door. The arts as well as crafts room was known every bit the "Artisan's Workshop."
To proceed kids out of the storage room, I called it the "Dungeon."
Our constituent was dubbed the "Office Of The Scribe."
Along ane side of the hall, nosotros made shields for every majority of the bible. A scroll was hung inward a higher house each department of books to sort them.
Snacks were served inward the Feasting Hall.
Cardboard boxes covered inward brownish newspaper made an awesome throne that y'all could truly sit down in! My mom used some textile to brand a pillow as well as topographic point encompass to consummate the look. I printed VBS 2013 on a pennant banner to hang inward a higher house the throne. I regard this would brand a cool painting demonstrate backdrop. I printed the banner off on parchment newspaper that was originally purchased for a ninth flat Shakespeare project. My mom keeps EVERYTHING! :)
Our phase backdrop was covered inward newspaper to await similar a castle. I made to a greater extent than pennant letters to proclaim our VBS name, Kingdom Adventure.
The moat around our castle fifty-fifty featured an alligator! A fish tablecloth formed the H2O of the moat. And, crumpled brownish newspaper marked the moat's boundaries. One of our volunteers picked upward this alligator chapeau at Dollar Tree. We started decorating several days earlier VBS started. On Lord's Day morning, our preacher walked upward to the pulpit non knowing that at that topographic point was a mistaken alligator nigh 3 feet behind where he was standing. Let's simply tell he got a picayune surprise!
Here's some other shield that nosotros designed from cardboard as well as aluminum foil. The swords on each side of the shield were made out of painted pigment sticks as well as arts and crafts sticks. The kids wanted to play alongside these swords hence badly!
One of the ladies who used to serve every bit VBS managing director is super crafty! She made this coat of armor out of cardboard boxes, recycled nutrient containers, as well as lots of duct tape! So cool!
She also made this shield to hang inward our feasting hall.
My mom picked upward some candle holders at a thrift store to add together some flair to our feasting hall. After VBS was over, these candle holders made their agency habitation alongside me to last hung upward inward my hall.
We draped some tulle to add together a picayune flair to the kitchen area.
We each scoured our houses for decorations that could last used. Someone brought these mistaken grapes to display. They were perfect for the feasting hall.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 giant pineapple from a previous luau themed VBS institute a novel use. Those are some candles that I borrowed from ane of the cabinets at church.
We made torches out of brownish newspaper to draw the hall. The flames were made out of xanthous as well as reddish newspaper and/or cellophane.
My sis made tiny golden crowns for the men's as well as women's restroom signs.
I regard this was hence creative!
Along ane of the halls, nosotros made shields for each of the iv stories nosotros would last studying during VBS. Each shield featured a silhouette of the bible grapheme they would last learning about. Around the exterior of the shield were diverse clues. Children could elevator upward the crown to reveal the right answer. These were a large hit!
During the week, students memorized The Lord's Prayer. My mom made this visual display of the dissimilar phrases that compose The Lord's Prayer.
This tabular array laid upward inward the dorsum of our sanctuary.
Another tabular array was laid upward alongside candles as well as pushed against the wall inward our kitchen. We covered the tabular array inward newspaper as well as added a reddish cross for decoration.
Online, I saw the regard of making metallic bars out of duct tape. I approximate that's what they're called. Oh well... These await tardily to make, but they took FOREVER. They looked cool inward the end, but I'm non certain they were worth the frustration.
I institute a curlicue of reddish newspaper ribbon inward ane of the cabinets. This was used to shape a large shield shape inward the hall. A poster nigh The Order of the Cross was hung within the shield.
Remember that treasure box on the dorsum tabular array inward the sanctuary?
Inside, I placed truthful treasure - a bible. I pose a banking concern annotation on the bible that said, "True treasure is institute inward the Word of God."
As y'all tin tell, nosotros used a lot of candles inward our decorating! Don't worry, nosotros didn't truly lite whatever of them. That would last a major burn hazard. They were for looks only!
