Day 1 Lesson

Craft: Look What I Made

For today’s craft students will make a plaque to hang things they make: special items that remind them about the Creator God, pictures of people or pets, or Bible verses they want to learn and remember.

Game: Paint the Rainbow

Supplies

• Giant Inflatable Game Cube labeled 1-6 or a number cube or regular dice

• Strips of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple paper (1 per player in each of the colors).

Optional: Cut strips of paper in an arch shape decreasing in size based on the color with red being the largest and purple being the smallest.

Play

• Form a circle. Explain that kids will be attempting to "paint” a rainbow in front of them by rolling the cube in a specific order. Each number represents a color based on the order it appears in the rainbow: red—1, orange-2, yellow-3, green—4, blue-5, purple-6.

• The first kid will roll the game cube. If she rolls any number other than a 1, she passes the cube to the next person. If she rolls a 1, she grabs a red strip of paper, passes the cube to the next person, and attempts to roll a 2 on her next turn.

• Each player must paint the rainbow in the correct order. (Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) Continue play until each kid has completed his rainbow.

For Small Groups/One Child

• Give each child the colored pieces of paper and their own dice and let them continue rolling until they finish building their rainbow, as long as it’s in the right order. First one finished wins.

Bible/Life Application Debrief

• Ask: “What is your favorite color in the rainbow?” (Allow kids to answer.)

• Say: “Without God, not even colors or people would exist! He is the marvelous Creator, and David praised Him because of that. We can praise Him, too!”
