Teach the “come in” response, then just announce each action as you go.

 

However you travelled here today, 

[mime the way you travelled here or wish you had: car, bike, helicopter, surfboard etc…]

Jesus says: “Come in!” [one arm drawing in]

 

However you’re feeling here today, 

[mime the way you feel: tired, joyful, scared, curious, etc…]

Jesus says: “Come in!” [one arm drawing in]

 

If you feel like making noise,

[everyone make noise (drums too)]

Jesus says: “Come in!” [one arm drawing in]

 

If you feel like being quiet,

[everyone say a soft “shhhhhh”]

[whisper] Jesus says: “Come in!” [one arm drawing in]

 

If you’re celebrating something great,

[arms up shout “hooray”]

Jesus says: “Come in!” [one arm drawing in]

 

If you’ve made some big mistakes,

[raise hands and say “whoops”]

Jesus says: “Come in!” [one arm drawing in]

 

If you want to meet with Jesus,

[push finger into palms as sign of Jesus]

Jesus says: “Come in!” [one arm drawing in]

 

He longs to restore, renew and rebuild us,

[hold out hands to receive, pause here a moment]

… Jesus says: “Come in!” [one arm drawing in]
