Baptism Verses 2 + 3 - More "W"s

*This is a continuation of the post, Baptism Verse 1 - "W" Questions.  This is for the 2nd and 3rd verses of the song Baptism. Instead of posting the lesson plan in one LONG post, I broke it up. Easier reading, hopefully. :) I'll spread all of it out over a few weeks.

-----------------------------------------------------

4. VERSE 2 - WHY?

First, Learn the verse by posting the "W" word with coordinating picture and singing as we go along.

Then,

• Sing with actions:
   -Hands make a book/Bible
   -Draw a question mark in the air
   -Hands make a door opening
   -Point upward to Heaven

\
WHY    "To fulfill the law," / said Jesus,
WHO or WHY    When the Baptist / questioned why,
WHY    "And to enter / with my Father
WHERE  "In the kingdom / up on high."

5. VERSE 3 - WHO? WE.

First, Learn the verse by posting the "W" word with coordinating picture and singing as we go along.

Then,

• Use a WHO CONTAINER (like this one) to choose kids to stand and sing. 
• Choose a strip from the container and ask those kids to stand and sing.
• Choose another strip from the container and ask those kids to stand and sing.
• Keep choosing strips and singing until all the kids are standing and singing.
• END by saying that WE ALL can be baptized like Jesus.

WE    Now we know / that we must also
WHAT    Witness faith / in Jesus' word,
WHAT   Be baptized / to show obedience,
WHO    As was Jesus Christ, / our Lord.
