Camp Kilimanjaro Song Motion Descriptions !Camp Kilimanjaro Camp Kilimanjaro – throughout entire song as these words are sung, move fists around each other in a circular motion Get ready for adventure – left hand motions to come along Excitement is at hand – pump left hand, pump right hand, pump both hands at the same time and create fists We’re going on a safari to a wild and distant land – pass hands across each other to either side of body, step back, shake hands (“jazz hands”) Camp Kilimanjaro – move fists around each other in a circular motion From the plains of Serengeti – pass hands across each other to either side of body To the jungles deep within – cup hands and move outwards to either side of body And to the highest mountain top – move hands from either side into a mountain peak Our journey now begins at – walk in a circle Camp Kilimanjaro – move fists around each other in a circular motion We’ll sing the songs of Africa – cup hand over mouth and move to the left We’ll join its mighty chorus – cup hand over mouth and move to the right Gain wisdom from the Words of Life – open left hand makes circular motion facing out, open right hand makes circular motion facing out That God has laid before us – both hands lie flat, palms up, then move up as if opening a window Jambo – waves with left hand Let’s go – motion to “come along” with right hand To Camp Kilimanjaro – step with each leg and create mountain peak with hands Camp Kilimanjaro – move fists around each other in a circular motion And on this track we’ll learn the path God sets is best to take – march to the left For dangers lurk along the way – pass hands across each other to either side of body And choices we must make – open left palm, open right palm, put hands on hips Camp Kilimanjaro – move fists around each other in a circular motion We’ll follow words of Solomon, the wisest in the land – march to the right And through his word we’ll learn to live, the way that God has planned - both hands lie flat, palms up, then move up as if opening a window Camp Kilimanjaro – move fists around each other in a circular motion With ears to hear the Lord And hearts that trust God’s perfect ways Let us walk in wisdom As we trek through life each day – snap with both hands, one arm up, one arm down, moving side to side. ! ! What Does Your Heart Do? Opening music - Pat thighs and sway What does your heart do – palms facing up, arms bent in an “I don’t know” motion, then make hands into a heart When you clap – clap Or jump – jump Or twirl all around – turn in a circle with one arm raised What does your heart do – palms facing up, arms bent in an “I don’t know” motion, then make hands into a heart If you’re quiet or still and don’t make a sound – bend over and put hands, palms down, in a still motion, then put finger over mouth and shake head It beats when we walk – put hands over heart and tap, then act as if walking It beats when we run – put hands over heart and tap, run in place It beats when we sleep - put hands over heart and tap, tilt head and rest on hands, as if sleeping And when we rise with the sun – circle hands around body What does your heart do – palms facing up, arms bent in an “I don’t know” motion, then make hands into a heart When God tells you to trust in His way – clap while keeping rhythm with left leg Will He find your heart willing – tap heart and make arms bent in an “I don’t know” motion To walk by faith in His Spirit every day – walk in place, one leg forward, one leg back It beats when we clap - put hands over heart and tap, clap to beat It beats when we sing - put hands over heart and tap, cup hands over mouth and pretend to sing With our hearts full of praise – put hands on heart, then move outward As we worship our King – raise hands about head, then put on imaginary crown What does your heart do – palms facing up, arms bent in an “I don’t know” motion, then make hands into a heart The gift God has given us through Jesus our Lord, is a life that’s eternal, His gracious reward – start big clap at the bottom and slowly clap up A heart that is healthy is a heart filled with love – move hands from left to right, raised And filled with God’s Spirit who comes from above – push hands down, then dip back up, open palms What does your heart do – palms facing up, arms bent in an “I don’t know” motion, then make hands into a heart It beats when we love – put hands over heart and tap, put hands over body, giving a hug It beats when pray - put hands over heart and tap, pray It beats when we trust in the Lord everyday - put hands over heart and tap, bring out left hand, bring out right hand, have hands cross over each other and motion outwards It beats when we clap - put hands over heart and tap, clap to beat It beats when we sing - put hands over heart and tap, cup hands over mouth and pretend to sing With our hearts full of praise – put hands on heart, then move outward As we worship our King – raise hands about head, then put on imaginary crown What does your heart do – palms facing up, arms bent in an “I don’t know” motion, then make hands into a heart End last beat with arms down at sides, hands in fists God’s in Control Original words and music by Martin Luther Updated words and music by Dale Huntington A mighty fortress is our God-Flex L arm, flex R arm, lift fingers on L hand straight, lift fingers on R hand straight. Our shelter never fails-Meet finger tips from both hands above head. Our Helper is always with us-With arms raised, point to heaven with both pointer fingers. Make fists and pull down to sides of body. And so we will prevail-Both thumbs point to chest, then R arm (hand fisted) pumps in the air two times. We will not fear-Cross arms in front of body forming an X. For our God is near-With arms raised, point to heaven with both pointer fingers. Make fists and pull down to sides of body. We won’t be afraid-Cross arms in front of body to form X. He won’t be delayed-Throw both arms down to sides of body. We will stand brave-Legs slightly parted, fisted hands held straight down at sides of body. It’s our God who saves-Both pointers point to heaven, cup L hand over R hand. They can’t hurt our souls-Shake head “no”, pat chest with both hands two times. For He’s in control-Point to heaven with both pointer fingers, with elbows tucked at sides. He is our God. He is our God.-With arms lifted to heaven, point to heaven with pointer fingers x3. He is our God. He is our God.-With arms lifted to heaven, point to heaven with pointer fingers x3. When attacked, in Him we’ll hide-Bring both hands up in front of face as a shield. To Jesus we will yield-ASL R hand, middle finger to L palm. L hand, middle finger to R palm. Bow with Larm behind body and R arm at waist in front of body. We’re glad that Christ is on our side-Splay fingers out with hands at each cheek on face.Raise arms to heaven and point to heaven. Then pull fists down, with elbows at waist. He’s God and man, our shield-Fist L hand and raise L arm to side of face. Fist R hand and raise R arm to side of face. Cross both arms in front of body as “shield”. We will not fear-Cross arms in front of body forming an X. For our God is near-With arms raised, point to heaven with both pointer fingers. Make fists and pull down to sides of body. We won’t be afraid-Cross arms in front of body to form X. He won’t be delayed-Throw both arms down to sides of body. We will stand brave-Legs slightly parted, fisted hands held straight down at sides of body. It’s our God who saves-Both pointers point to heaven, cup L hand over R hand. They can’t hurt our souls,-Shake head “no”, pat chest with both hands two times. For He’s in control-Point to heaven with both pointer fingers, with elbows tucked at sides. He is our God. He is our God.-With arms lifted to heaven, point to heaven with pointer fingers x3. He is our God. He is our God.-With arms lifted to heaven, point to heaven with pointer fingers x3. !He is our God.-With arms lifted to heaven, point to heaven with pointer fingers. ! ! ! !Wise Up! !Words and music by David Gilbertson Let’s go for a hike!-Kids look back and forth at each other.
