How fun! What did you use to darken the windows?
Hi Shannon!
I just left it so it wasn't completely pitch black :). But I'd recommend taping up black butcher paper.

Thank you for sharing this great idea. I am a new chorister and so thankful for all you have on this site. I use it so so much. I have a question about using these glow sticks and such. Have you ever had kids try to misuse them or be too silly with any of this type of stuff and what do you tell them or do to get them to focus and stay with you? Ha ha.
Hi Lynn,
You have a very valid questions! And yes, I have had kids occasionally be obnoxious with things I bring in. Usually before I pass out things, I set strict rules. If I see anyone poking, touching, breaking, whatever, I will take them and they will not get them back. Sometimes I'll threaten the entire primary that if they cannot behave as a whole with the activity, I will put it all away and we'll just sing the songs without the fun activity.
My kids know I mean what I say so they usually don't try to push the boundaries. I've only put away an activity once or twice. I hope that helps.
