Im a youth member at Tuckerman First Baptist. As you can tell, I may not be creative by writing this. I'm planning my classroom to be like a "Let's tell a story around a campfire" type thing .. while on the beach. How can i get this done? And, how can I fill up the walls and corners of the room with this idea? I thought about adding Volcanoes. But im not sure. Thanks. God Bless

you could build an outrigger in one corner and set it up like it's just been pulled up on shore, make water on the floor with a blue bedsheet, and sand with a light brown or cream color one and put the outrigger right along the shore line. you could also have palm trees (made out of a fun noodle and paper bags for the trunk wit a peice of pvc pipe for support and with leaves cut out of paper and attched to the top. You could also set up a beach hut in one corner and lean some cardboard surfboards up against it. I am not the best at decorating, but these are just a few ideas, also, if they still have them you can find blow-up parrots at the dollar tree and put them in your palm trees.

Hi Tyler!

The above idea is awesome and really easy. You could even borrow a kayak from someone as your boat. For a campfire setting, we went to a party supply place and bought a fake fire. It is electric and has a motor and orange lights. A fan blows the "flames" and the light make them orange. It is the highlight every time we use this. The kids are fascinated with it. We just put some rocks around it in a circle and covered the motor part with a bunch of sticks from the yard to make it look real. We have used this for every program we have had in the past 2 years and we are going to use it with OI too! HTH!

on one side you can have palm trees made from pool noodles covered with lunch brown paper bags and the palm leaves cut out of green paper. also you can get tan flat sheets at walmart for the sand and take a small fan put brick or rocks in a circle then put fire wood wraped in red and clear christmas lights put red orange and yello tisue paper squished in the fort wood turn on the small fam to blow the paper.(put fan on low)
