The music rotation is an integral part of any Vacation Bible School (VBS) program, bringing energy, joy, and an opportunity for children to engage with worship.

To maximize the impact of your VBS music rotation, consider implementing these three easy suggestions: plan, prepare, and involve others.

Plan

• Evaluate your church’s VBS structure and determine the appropriate songs for your music rotation.
• If time is limited, prioritize songs that align with the lessons being taught during VBS.
• Consider the desired atmosphere and energy level, using songs that best fit the overall theme and engage the children effectively.
• Planning ahead ensures a well-structured and purposeful music rotation.

Prepare

• Start familiarizing yourself with the VBS music as early as possible.
• Listen to the songs on the CD or watch the DVD during your daily activities.
• By incorporating the music into your daily routine, you will become more confident and comfortable leading the songs during VBS.
• Your confidence will positively impact your engagement with the children, creating an enthusiastic and memorable music rotation experience.
• Remember, your excitement and involvement can inspire and draw children closer to Christ.

Involve Others

• VBS is not a one-person job; it requires a team effort.
• Seek volunteers and assemble a dedicated team to assist you with the music rotation.
• Encourage people to step forward and discover their gifts in serving children during VBS.
• Share your resources and knowledge with your team, equipping them to lead alongside you during the music rotation.
• Together, you can create a dynamic and impactful worship experience for the children.

By following these three simple suggestions—plan, prepare, and involve others—you can enhance the effectiveness and enjoyment of your VBS music rotation. Thoughtful planning ensures the right songs are selected for the time available, while early preparation increases your confidence and engagement with the children. Additionally, building a team of enthusiastic volunteers multiplies the impact and fosters a collaborative spirit.

Remember, the music rotation is not only a chance for children to worship but also an opportunity for them to encounter God’s love and grow in their faith. Embrace these suggestions and make the most of your VBS music rotation to create a meaningful and memorable experience for all involved.
