SONG – “THE NEWS” (Story - Feeding 5000)
Here is another song we did, which can be found on the CD – “20 Stories Every Child Should Know” Book/CD, 2004, Standard Publishing, 9780784715864. This you can easily find.
Note: if this song goes out of print I will be leaving it here as an example on how to look at the song lyrics to decide on props to create.

Scenery – Meadow / Hill – instead Janice took “two” weaved baskets & spray painted neon orange. Grass similar to the sea weed would also have worked.
Props/Puppets
- Jesus –(Word)
- 5000 – (Number)
- Five Small fish
- Two Loafs of Bread
- People / Crowd (several simple round faces drawn onto one prop)

- Chorus
• Did You Hear (Words)
• The News (Newspaper) (Words)
• About What Jesus Did? (Words)
Ten props in total. Two, three, or more children can do the 5 fish and two loaves. One or two children can do the two YUM YUM signs.
Note: you could have the children help with the props – but you may want to pre-draw them first and they could help cut-out and assemble.
