Anyone wishing to tell the beginning of creation story from the Bible in Genesis as a group, for some fun, try this:
- IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS CHAOS (clap out of time)
- AND GOD BROUGHT ORDER (clap in rhythm)
- HE CREATED THE HEAVENS (look up)
- AND THE EARTH (look down)
- AND IT WAS GOOD. (Smile and shake hands)
- THE EARTH PRODUCED ALL KINDS OF PLANTS AND VEGETATION (Half become trees)
- BEARING GRAIN AND FRUIT (other half pretend to pick fruit and eat it)
- AND GOD SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD (smile and shake hands)
- HE CREATED THE SUN (stand in a circle and hold hands)
- THE MOON (howl like wolves)
- AND THE STARS (make a shape like a star)
- TO LIGHT UP THE NIGHT (fall asleep)
- AND THE DAY (wake up brightly and cheerfully)
- AND HE WAS PLEASED WITH WHAT HE HAD MADE. (shake hands and slap backs)
- THEN HE FORMED MANY CREATURES TO FILL THE EARTH.
- ALL KINDS OF ANIMALS (make animal noises)
- FISH (open and close mouths like goldfish)
- AND BIRDS (fly around flapping wings)
- HE BLESSED THEM AND COMMANDED THEM TO MULTIPLY (count on fingers)
- FOR WHAT HE CREATED WAS GOOD. (pat backs and shake hands)
- THEN GOD CREATED MAN (boys step forward)
- AND WOMAN (girls step forward)
- HE GAVE THEM CONTROL OF THE EARTH (hold out hands showing the area)
- OVER THE TREES (pose as trees)
- OVER THE ANIMALS (animal noises)
- AND FISH (fish mouths)
- AND BIRDS (flap)
- GOD LOOKED AT EVERYTHING THAT HE HAD MADE AND HE WAS PLEASED (slap backs, shake hands, jump and laugh)
- FOR THE WORLD WAS GOOD. AND HE RESTED, FOR HIS CREATION WAS COMPLETE. (all lean on each other)
