I continued the primary hospital today...taking out the very confusing part of last week I had the "patients" or songs taped to the wall in the back and the "Ambulance driver" would drive over to the wall and pick up the patient and bring him in. Then the lead nurse would help me lead the song while I, the doctor, would assess the patient.
The twist today was that I brought medicine with me...that was magic, but would only work if they were singing. It was just sugar-free apple juice in a spray bottle, but it worked like a charm. They did wonderful!!!
We only had one song go to the ER in junior primary and one go to the day clinic. All got sent home in Senior. It was so fun.

Primary Hospital
So, today I did the Primary Hospital activity. I had one child be a patient, another be a lead nurse (to assist me in leading the song), one to be the EMT (to drive the patient in) and one to be a triage nurse (to decide whether to send the patient home, or what)
They sang the song that the patient was and then we decided according to 5 characteristics what to do with the patient. I was the doctor and I had a chart for each song. We decided what the symptoms were (too quiet, didn't know words, not clear enough, etc.) Then assigned it. If it was good, we went through the discharge checklist which had volume, melody, words, spirit, watching. If it just needed a little help, it went to the day clinic for a checkup. If it really needed some work, it went to the emergency room for a lot of help. Next week I plan on finishing the assessment and starting the healing process. It worked pretty well. I think the kids were just barely getting into it by the time I was finished with singing time, so hopefully next week will go a little better.
