This is my first post, although I've been a fan of Rotation.org for years!  I loved the extra information about John and lesson ideas from Neil MacQueen--have not really focused much on John before in my baptism of Jesus lesson (but now I will!).  My baptism lesson includes an activity (which might have been inspired by rotation.org) where the children have to categorize various pictures cut out from magazines related to water under the categories "Water Refreshes Us," "Water Cleanses Us," "Water Gives Life."  We also make origami doves.  My favorite thing about the baptism story is that it is a huge public proclamation from God that Jesus is His Son.  How can there be any doubt when the sky opens up and there is the booming voice of God declaring this?  I ask kids to imagine being there and what they would have thought being a witness to this.
