I bet you like to sing, especially Vacation Bible School music, right? For our church the Worship Rally and Music is in the same area, our sanctuary. Below are just a few VBS 2018 Game On Music decoration ideas. You can get the entire DIY Step by Step Tutorials for all the Music decorations by purchasing the Game On eBook and SVG files.
Just a note: I am in no way affiliated with Lifeway. Ideas presented below and in the eBook as well as printables are created by me and are inspired by the 2018 VBS theme.
1. Entry Way Silhouettes
I wrote about the large silhouettes of Sports Players and Band Members below for the Stage, but I also think these would be great for entry ways. Our church has two entry hallways that lead to our Sanctuary. You can purchase the Game On Inspired Decorations eBook with SVG, PNG, PDF Files for $14.99 and get over 30+ printables.
2. Large Sports Balls
Use plastic tablecloths from Dollar Tree to create these large sports balls. Make sure to buy the round tablecloths for the round balls.
- White – Soccer ball, Volleyball, Baseball
- Yellow – Volleyball
- Brown – Football
- Orange – Basketball
- Light Green – Tennis
For complete instructions with pictures on how to make the sports balls you can purchase the How to Decorate for Game On eBook with files.
3. Game On Music Notes
What you Need:
- Music Notes SVG Cut table File
- Scissors or Cutting machine
- Black Cardstock
- Painters Tape
- Fishing Wire
- Hole Punch
- White crayon or pencil
- Paper clip or clear tape
How to Make:
1. Print the Music Notes found in files folders.
2. Cut out the shapes and trace onto the black cardstock.
3. Cut out the shapes and use painters tape to place on the wall.
4. If using a cutting machine open the SVG file and cut out the shapes onto black cardstock.
5. Use a hole punch to puncture a hole in the notes to hang with finishing wire.
6. Tie on fishing wire through the punched hole. The other end use a paper clip to clip to a grid ceiling otherwise use clear tape to place on the ceiling.
Just a Note: Make sure to have sharp scissors because as pictured below I used kid scissors that were not very sharp and my cut is all jagged.
4. Band Instruments
What you Need:
- Band Instrument SVG Cuttable Files
- Black Cardstock
- Hole Punch
- Fishing Wire
- Painters Tape
How to Make:
- Print Band Instruments or Open SVG file in a Cutting Machine.
- Cut out Instrument Images
- Hole punch on one end if hanging with fishing wire. Use painters tape to tape to wall.
5. Music Stands
You might be able to find some music stands around your church. If not, you make your own from tripods and some cardboard. Simply use a large piece of cardboard around the size of 11 x 17 inches and tape it to the tripod. Add a 1 – 2 inch width by 17 in long cardboard strip to the bottom of the larger piece sticking out so it looks more like a Locker.
Pep Rally Signs
Music Instrument Inflatables
I purchased the majority of these at Goodwill. I almost got rid of them since I am no longer doing photobooths. That is what I purchased them for! Glad I didn’t. These will be great for hanging in the music area.
