He Sent His Son
Ribbon Wands

Using Ribbon Wands:

There are a lot of options for making or purchasing Ribbon Wands for your Primary. Some people make their own using ribbons and a shower rod ring, for example.

There are the kinds of ribbons on a stick or wristband styles. My personal preference is the type they slip over their wrist. I find them easiest for the little kids to use and there is less “sword fighting” going on.

I personally bought this set of Ribbon Wands from Amazon and I just bought 2 packs to get me to 24. They are long so I have everyone spread out and find their own spot in the Primary room. It’s really fun to see the whole room swirling with colors!

I then put 6-8 ribbon wands in a burlap bag to pass out to the teachers to hand out to their class and collect them again at the end. You could also simply use a gallon ziploc bag for the same effect.

Ribbon Wand Actions:  

  • Big Circle – Trace one big, slow circle like you’re making the earth
  • Left and Right – Slow sway swishes back and forth in front of you –
  • Disco Arms – Swing ribbons high up by your ear and then across your body to your other hip
  • Worm – Curvy up and down swiggles in front of you

“Chorus” Ribbon Wand Actions: 

  • Arch – A big half circle over your head like a rainbow
  • Hammock – Lazy swings back and forth dipping in the center
