When I Am Baptized

This song is a fun one to teach.  You will need:

•  picture of a rainbow or make one
• picture of rain or cutout of a rain drop
• picture of a child being baptized
• word strip of "forgiven"
• wash rag

Ask the children if they have been really dirty.  How did they feel when they could wash their hands or take a bath.

Ask a recently baptized child to share their feelings after being baptized.  Ask an adult or you can tell how you felt when you were baptized.

This song tells how we can be spiritually clean.

Using the pictures, sing the first verse.  Have the children sing it with you.  With the pictures, sing the second verse and have them sing with you.  Sing both phrases a few times.

Sing the chorus. Invite the children to sing it with you.  Sing it a few times then try the whole song.

Be sure to thank the children for their participation in learning this new song.
