Use an ugli fruit in a talk about self-worth to explore the impact of imposed (self or otherwise) names.

Create a vegetable orchestra (carrot recorder, pumpkin drum, celeriac bongo, black-eye beans shaker) and make a joyful sound to the Lord!

Host a kiwi and spoon race.

Nine

Generate electricity from a citrus fruit (Google it!) and talk about the wonders of God’s creation.
