Date: 1-1-00Encouragement quilt: give each child a small square piece of construction paper (one for each other child in the class) Have the children color one square for each other child, writing or drawing what they like most about that person. Then have them give their squares to the people they made them for. Help each child glue their squares onto a larger piece of paper, the children love to see what their friends say about them. On the top of each of our quilts we but the verse "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing" 1Th 5:11 Date: 12-21-99Start by brainstorming with the children different stories from the bible. Ask each child to select their favorite story. Make available multi colored construction paper, pipe cleaners, cotton balls, crayons, string, scissors, glue, etc. Each child is to make a book telling their favorite bible story. When everyone is done, have each child share their book with the class. Date: 12-3-98Friendship Quilt:Give each child a large size piece of construction paper. Put out pop-palms, glitter, buttons, foam pieces, pictures, or anything else you would like, and let them decorate the paper any way they want. Have them place their name on the paper. Hang it in a quilt pattern on your bulletin board and label it, Make new friends and keep the old... It's a wonderful way to show off the children's individuality.
Date: 11-19-98Give each child a 12inch by 12inch piece of construction paper. Put out some beautiful junk ( yarn tissue paper sequins cotton balls ' you get the idea ) Let the children create their own square for a FRIENDSHIP QUILT. When all is dry, connect the squares together and display for everyone to see. Mine will hang in the classroom for almost the whole year. It is remarkable how the children will continue to talk about it for a long time. At the end of the year I cut it apart and send the squares home. |
