LIVE TV NEWS BROADCAST to kick off each day of VBS

For several years, we created a TV New Broadcast at the start of every VBS day.

We reviewed the previous day's events as "news reports" (including showing photos behind the newscasters on a large tv screen), introduced the day's theme/stories as "breaking news," set out some expectations for kindness in the guise of "Today's Forecast," and did goofy stuff by having "special guest stars" announce the activity and snacks for the day.

Particularly successful was the "joke of the day," which the kids selected from various Biblical joke books we have in our library.

We used an overhead projector as our teleprompter so the kids could read their lines while looking in the direction of the camera.

This was a "live" broadcast in front of all the kids, so we picked "who got to be the newscasters" very carefully, and had a teacher in a silly wig sit with them just in case they got lost in the script. It was loose but a lot of fun.
