But, I added an extra element. I told them to look for 2 hidden 'prize bags' somewhere in the room, but they couldn't leave their seats - I didn't want that much commotion!!. They found them hidden in the fish nets above their chairs. I told them the rules (we always draw names at the end for our quiet seat prizes). They got to spend the whole 1 1/2 hours with the bags over their heads - wondering. One child chose to keep the secret - the other chose to show and tell. I'm gonna use this one for a while and hide the bags in a different spot each week. Thanks for all you do to help those of us in the ministry.
