Theme: God Is

Bible Verse: Everyone who comes to God must believe that He exists and will reward the ones who look for Him. Hebrews 11:6

Johnny and Jena ENTER (Script is example dialog only. Have fun with it.)

Jena: All right, all you cool cats and sweet chicks, are you ready for the Day 1 Kick Off?

Kids: (RESPOND)

Johnny: Hey, I know you all can do better than that. Try it again... Are you ready for the Day 1 Kick Off?

Kids (RESPOND AGAIN)

Jena: That’s more like it. Hi, everyone. I’m Jena, and this is Johnny. And we’re all going to have a great time together for the next 5 days, right Johnny?

Johnny: You said it, Jena. And I think we should get started by learning our Sock Hop Theme song, right now.

Jena: Great idea, Johnny! Let’s get the band and the Dance Team up here right now to help us out. First, today’s guest musicians are all from Rydell High (POINT OUT RYDELL HIGH ON THE FLOOR) right over there... here‘s the Rydell High Sock Hop Band!

THE BAND RUNS ONSTAGE AND ASSUMES POSITION WITH INSTRUMENTS

Johnny: Boy, I hope they play as cool as they look. And now, our dance team. It‘s made up of the coolest chicks from all over town - here‘s The Hoppettes!

Johnny: Wow! That was great. Hey ho, Daddy-o. I’m not ready for the music to be done. Let’s do another song!”

Jena: Whaddya say, gang? Wanna sing another one?”

Kids: (RESPOND)

Jena: Let’s make it happen!

SOCK HOP SONG #1 (trk #2)

Johnny: Yeah! Now that’s what I call smooth.

THANK BAND AND HOPPETTES AND DISMISS THEM

Jena: Hey, Johnny, why don’t we tell everybody what’s going on this week?

Johnny: Good idea, Jena. Well, Sock Hoppers, have we got a week in store for you. We’re gong to be doing all kinds of things and having all kinds of fun.

Jena: That’s right. Every day, we’ll meet in here for the Daily Kick Off. We’ll do a little singing and a little dancing and find out what the theme for the day is. For example, today’s theme is: God Is. Everybody say that with us -- God Is.

Johnny: God is what?

Jena: No, Johnny. God just is. God exists.

Johnny: Yeah, yeah. I knew that. God is.

Jena: Everybody say that with us -- God Is.

Kids: (RESPOND)

Johnny: Cool. Knowing about God has to start someplace and a good place to start is just believing that He really exists.

Jena: Even if you can’t see Him.

Johnny: Who can’t see Him?

Jena: You can’t see Him.

Johnny: I never said I could.

Jena: I never said you could either.

Johnny: So what‘s the problem?

Jena: There is no problem.

Johnny: What about the problem of not being able to see God?

Jena: That’s not a problem. Because even though we can’t see Him, he’s always there anyway.

Johnny: Where?

Jena: Everywhere.

Johnny: Well, I never said He wasn’t.

Jena: Wasn’t what?

Johnny: There.

Jena: Where?

Johnny: Everywhere.

Jena: (PAUSE) Anybody remember what today’s theme is?

Kids: (RESPOND [ God is.])

Jena: That’s right.

Johnny: Even if you can’t see Him.

Jena: Johnny...

Johnny: Besides the singing and hearing the Theme of the day, we’ll also be having our Mission Offering contest. That’s where we see which school can bring the offering that weighs the most.

Jena: And whatever we collect by the end of the week, we’re going to give to _________. Because they can really use the help. So, starting tomorrow, we’ll have the mission offering contest every day during Kick Off. And the kids in the school whose offering weighs the most each get a prize.

Johnny: Wow! What kind of prize, Jena?

Jena: Well... maybe we’ll talk about it a little later in the week, Johnny.

Johnny: Okay! So the Missions Offering Contest starts tomorrow at Kick Off time.

Jena: Right. And it all goes to help _________________.

Johnny: That’s great. Then, everyday, after Kick Off, you’ll all go experience the four different Sock Hop Stations like: The All City Garage

Jena: Where you’ll get to make some really cool retro crafts. The leader there is Master Mechanic *name* (Acknowledge and point out MASTER MECHANIC). Master Mechanic *name* be glad to help you get those crafts built and help you learn a little bit about God in the process. Then there’s The Malt Shop.

Johnny: You’ll get to go there everyday and get some really tasty treats during your snack period. The Head Waitress at the Malt Shop is *name*. (Acknowledge and point out HEAD WAITRESS) She’ll be there to make sure you get everything you should. There’s also The Bowl-O-Rama.

Jena: That’s the game place for the day. Bowling King *name* (Acknowledge and point out BOWLING KING) has a bunch of new and different games for you to play and a few encouraging words about God to go along with them. And finally, you’ll visit Spunky’s Clubhouse.

Johnny: While you’re there, you’ll meet Spunky McLoon and his cast of zany characters. (Acknowledge and point out SPUNKY). You’ll see amazing demonstrations by Professor Science and hear a lot of important truth about God while you have more fun than a person should be allowed to have.

Jena: After your stations, you’ll come back here for our Sock Hop every night.

Johnny: We’ll have contests and prizes and we’ll sing and dance the night away.

Jena: Don’t forget to tell them about the Memory Verse drawing.

Johnny: Oh yeah. Every day, we’ll have verse from the Bible for you to learn. If you memorize it and can say it to your counselor any time during the day, we’ll put your name in a drawing.

Jena: Then, at the Sock Hop, we’ll draw a name out of the hopper. If we draw your name and you can come up and say the verse in front of everyone with no mistakes, you’ll get a prize.

Johnny: And not just a little nothing prize either. Everyone who has their name drawn and says the verse in front of the crowd wins one of these -- a CD with ALL the Sock Hop music on it.

Jena: We’ll have some other little surprises through the week too, so you’ll want to be sure to be here every day and bring a friend with you. But you know what, Johnny?

Johnny: What, Jena?

Jena: We should tell them today’s memory verse.

Johnny: You’re right. (SPEAK LOUDLY) Space Commander Joe! Can you hear me Space Commander Joe? Come in please!

VIDEO OF SPACE COMMANDER JOE READING MEMORY VERSE FOR THE DAY

Jena : Thank you, Space Commander Joe. Remember, kids, repeat that verse to your counselor anytime before your last station time and you will have your name in the drawing.

Johnny: Jena, I think we’ve about used up all our time for Kick Off today. We’ve gotta let these cool cats and sweet chicks head off to their stations.

Jena: You’re right, Johnny. But we don’t want a traffic jam.

Johnny: Yeah. (THINKS ABOUT IT) Hey, I know. Let’s play the Sock Hop Theme again and we’ll dismiss by schools. The school doing the best dancing gets to go first.

Jena: Very cool. Let’s do it. Mr D.J?

SOCK HOP THEME (trk #1)

(GET ALL ON THEIR FEET AND DANCING. SELECT A SCHOOL TO GO FIRST, SECOND, AND SO ON UNTIL ALL ARE DISMISSED.
