HERE'S YOUR SIGNS!







As you can see...Sister Poppins LOVES her signs!

The main ingredients for my signs are:
*Slices of Craft Foam*Portions of Hot Glue*
*Bags full of XL Wiggly Eyes*
*and Heaping Spoons FULL of pixie dusted imagination!

Some signs are 2 sided. That makes singing fun, competitive, and is great getting wiggles out (especially the 2 sided UP/DOWN arrow sign)!

I use the 2 sided SMILE/UR AWESOME sign, right before the children perform. They don't always remember that sign, and the outcome is great!

I have 2 sets of BOY/GIRL signs. Individual and 2 sided. This way, if I decide to split the song boy/girl, the 2nd Chorister will have something to grab the attention of whom s/he is leading.

$1+ MAGIC = Reverent Children

Ok...These are HUGE MAGIC glasses! What makes these shades AWESOME is that the wearer ONLY sees children who are quiet and folding their arms. They don't see children who are raising their hand and screaming "Ooh! Ooh! PICK ME!!!" Sister Poppins always shops at $ Stores and of course, craft stores...with coupon(s) in hand! You will LOVE the response from the children! Have fun! Big glasses, $1...Reverent, happy, and attentive kids...PRICELESS!

TRANSPORTING the MAGIC

Transporting the magic isn't always easy. Carpet variety bags are tough to find, and Sister Poppins isn't too handy with a sewing machine! I found my "MAGIC QUILTED BAG" at a discount store. It's big enough to store all my things, without giving away the fun that is going to take place for Singing Time. I used to carry a basket...too much of a distraction for Sunbeams! Having the bag zipped up also provides an opportunity to remind the children to be reverent so we can find out what is in store for Singing Time!
