Some Activities for C-Week

1. Cat--Make a cat out of construction paper. Cut out parts for your children, and let them paste their cat on another large sheet of construction paper any way they want it to look. You'd be surprised at the variety they come up with! Here are the shapes you will need:
-large circle for the head
-small circles for the eyes
-large oval body
-small squares for the feet
-small triangle ears
-big triangle tail
-small triangle for the nose

2. Colors--Do a lot of creative coloring this week. Also, make a color chart: Cut out one 4"x6" piece of construction paper for each of these colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, black, brown, and purple. Write the name of the color on each rectangle. Now, cut out three shapes--a small circle, a small square, and a small triangle--for each color listed. Have the children match each shape to the correct color. Paste the shapes to the correct color 4"x6" rectangle.

3. Cross--Cut a cross shape out of construction paper. Have children color it, and discuss how Jesus died on the cross for us.

4. Clock--Make a pretend clock: Take a paper plate and number it like a clock. Cut a large hand and a small hand out of construction paper. Attach the hands with a clasp. Then, talk about time and how to tell what time it is on the clock.
