hands of several volunteers
Good morning, boys and girls. I didn't bring anything with me today because I need some volunteers from our church family. (choose volunteers with a variety of hands -- smooth, rough, old, very young) I'd like our volunteers to stand up here and let the children see and feel your hands. (while they are looking at and touching the hands, continue the discussion) Hands are all very different. Some are very old and very wrinkled. Some are very young and tiny. Some people have very large hands. Some hands have very rough skin because they work outside or with strong tools and machinery.
