ROCKTASTICA: What to do with nine six-year-olds

What to do with nine six-year-olds

My new "calling" (aka job) in church this year is to teach the six-year-olds. They really are awesome kids, but there are NINE of them and not a one of them is the quiet type. So far the class goes:

chaos
order
chaos
order
chaos
order
brilliant insight! who are these kids?
chaos
order
chaos
order
chaos
order
what is this child yammering about?
uh...
wait, is she still talking or did I just pass out?
chaos
order
chaos
order
wow, they get it!
order still!
and . . . chaos
order
chaos
or- no wait, more chaos
phew, their parents are here to get them!

When I get to the end I am left wondering "did I do that right?" But, hey, I figure they're still alive. How bad could it be?
