Object:
SHARING THIS WEEK'S GOSPEL THEME AT SUNDAY SCHOOL AND AT
HOME
Materials:
Preprinted memory verses
9-inch paper plates
8-inch circle pattern
Construction paper
Brads
Scissors
Glue
Permanent markers
Directions:
1. Before students arrive, printout four memory verses in small enough print to fit on 1/4 of the paper plate. Make a circular pattern that is about one inch in diameter smaller than the paper plate (8-inch circle).
2. Give each of the children a brad, a paper plate, and some construction paper.
3. Have the children use the circle patterns to cut circles out the construction paper.
4. Have the children fold their circles in half and then in half again.
5. Help the children unfold the circles and cut out a one-quarter section (one triangle of the plate).
6. Give each of the children the preprinted memory verses.
7. Have the children glue the memory verses on their paper plates so that each verse covers a different quarter of the plate's diameter.
8. Using the brad, help the children poke a hole in their three-quarters circle piece of construction paper and in the center of their plates. Adult help may be needed as the brad ends are sharp.
9. Tell the children to attach the construction paper to the plate, using the brad.
10. Allow the children to decorate the construction paper as they see fit.
11. As the children learn the memory verses, they may write in the dates on the edge of their plates.
