I ended up improvising and using the same idea and we just used our imaginations. I would pretend that I saw something (like, "Look! Do you see that steep hill?" Or, "Do you smell that? It smells like a skunk!" The jr. primary especially got really into it and enjoyed pretending. Thanks for another great idea!Ruthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581775577781339936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733155484339450711.post-84919401094911194692010-07-27T10:50:50.926-06:002010-07-27T10:50:50.926-06:00I usually use the rollerbox for reviewing several ...I usually use the rollerbox for reviewing several different songs, but theoretically, one could design the scenes with different ways to sing the same song. With twelve scenes on this particular roller box, the same song would get too monotonous I think. But a way shorter one might work, especially if you threw in a couple of rest activities similar to the rain song and the skunk and the ants.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670017068516575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733155484339450711.post-80885577657283235632010-07-23T15:52:23.529-06:002010-07-23T15:52:23.529-06:00I just love your blog as well - thank you so much ...I just love your blog as well - thank you so much for all your wonderful ideas! Quick question about the roller box though...do you sing just one song the entire primary with all the different ways that your scenes depict or do you choose a different song with each new scene? Does that make any sense?!? :)Our Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11800700177878552085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733155484339450711.post-63127379155129897212010-07-22T13:21:24.186-06:002010-07-22T13:21:24.186-06:00Renee, it is probably about 20-25 feet long. That&...Renee, it is probably about 20-25 feet long. That's longer than any rollerbox I've made so far! I probably shouldn't have made it so long, because it gets kind of tricky to keep it rolling up nicely. The weight of the roll allows the paper to slide down on the stick toward the end so I have to keep adjusting it. But, I wanted the feel of "walking" in between the pictures. It worked out pretty well for me on Sunday, we actually went through the songs pretty quickly. We did all of the pictures, but didn't sing a song with the skunk or the ants. We just plugged our noses and said pee-eww for the skunk and stomped and shook the ants off and moved on.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670017068516575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733155484339450711.post-42687461828427133602010-07-22T12:14:22.764-06:002010-07-22T12:14:22.764-06:00I was wondering about how long the paper in the ro...I was wondering about how long the paper in the roller box is?

I always love your ideas, so I appreciate your endorsement. :o)<br /><br />Frosty and Cassie, I'm sad you won't get to do the most fun calling in the church, but change is always (usually) good and I'm sure that whoever you work with now with benefit from the creativity I'm sure you've developed in this calling. Stop by occasionally, just for old times sake!<br /><br />Kiersten, welcome to my blog. I'm glad that you find things doable. Doable is certainly what I'm after. When things take too much work, it isn't fun anymore, and the kids just learn to expect fireworks every week. That doesn't seem smart to me. Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />Frosty, I think two of my boys and their wives might visit the reunion for a day or so because they are in the area, but alas, the reunion always falls on the week of our county fair which is a really BIG deal in our family and we still have a daughter participating in 4-H. In another few years I will be free to attend again. I hope you will all have loads of fun, fun, fun!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670017068516575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733155484339450711.post-51886474500125814342010-07-15T23:50:56.228-06:002010-07-15T23:50:56.228-06:00I love the roller box!!
