Other Things to Do and Learn for C-Week

1. Chairs--Play musical chairs. Keep going around the chairs until the music stops and then sit down, or take turns singing to provide the music. Whoever doesn't get a chair is "out". Keep taking away one chair. Play until one child is left. He or she is the winner.

2. Crawling--Have crawling races. Children love this. It takes them back to babyhood.

3. Camera--Learn how to use a camera and take pictures. Then, make a collage of your favorite ones.

4. Crystals--Take an empty jar and add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup salt (add food coloring for colored crystals). Wait a week until it forms crystals. It may take longer than a week, but crystals will form.

5. Candy Land - Play the game with your children.

6. Creation - (Genesis 1) Read the story of creation from the Children's Bible. What do you like best that God created? Why?

7. Children - Children are a blessing (Palms) Jesus loves the Little Children. Sing the Song. In Mark 10: 14- 16 and Math 18: 1-4. Jesus talks about children. Think of reasons why Jesus wants us to be like little children.



Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in His sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world
