The Sing & Play Tune Lagoon and Canopy Closing Leader Manual is a 2-in-1, 88-page resource with easy-to-follow instructions for leading the opening and closing stations at Rainforest Falls VBS. At Sing & Play Tune Lagoon , you’ll kick off each day by introducing kids to the Daily Bible Point, singing Rainforest Falls songs, and sharing God Sightings. Canopy Closing wraps-up each day with interactive object lessons and dramas. Traditionally, opening singing time and closing wrap-up have each had a separate leader manual. Through field-testing and customer feedback, we’ve realized that the same person usually leads both stations. So to make it simpler for you, we’ve put all the materials in one easy-to-use manual. The pages are perforated so that if you do have two separate leaders at your VBS, you can just tear out the Finale sections and hand it off to the Canopy Closing Leader. * Included in the Rainforest Falls Ultimate Starter Kit
