Acts – Craft (Lesson #2)

Younger Children – House to House

Materials needed:

• Memory verse printed on mailing labels (we used Avery
  5160)
• Assorted paper gift bags, colored or white
• Assorted colored paper or cardstock
• Ruler
• Assorted crayons, markers
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Glue

Instructions:

• Give each child a paper bag and memory verse label.
• Stick the memory verse onto the paper bag and write their
  name on the bag. We layered the memory verse onto two
  pieces of cardstock.
• Decorate the paper bag, using cardstock, crayons and
  markers, making doors, windows, flowers, etc to depict a
  house or apartment.
• Remind the children that there are many kinds of houses:
  small cottages, mansions, apartments, modern style,
  traditional, etc.
• Open the paper bag, so that the bottom sits flat on the
  table.
• Display the houses at each table to form a community. See
  how easy it is to go from house to house, speaking,
  visiting, caring, sharing food with gladness.
