Before the cock crows twice
Children's Activity
SHARING THIS WEEK'S GOSPEL THEME AT SUNDAY SCHOOL AND AT HOME
Materials:
Small paper plates (saucer size, around six inches)
Red construction paper
Scissors
Craft sticks
Glue
Yellow construction paper
Wiggle eyes (large size)
Directions:
1.
Give each child a paper plate and a sheet of red construction paper. Tell the children they are going to make roosters.
2.
Have the children trace their hands twice on the red construction paper and help the children cut them out.
3.
Give the children each a sheet of yellow construction paper and help them cut two small triangles out of the paper. Have the children glue these triangles to one edge of their plates to form beaks (open or closed, their choice).
4.
Then have the children glue the red hands on their roosters. One hand should go toward the front on top with the thumb on the beak side to form the rooster's comb. The other hand should go on the bottom, near the beak, with the thumb pointing to the rear of the plate, forming the wattle.
5.
Finally, help each child glue an eye on his/her rooster, placing it above and behind the beak.
6.
Have the children glue sticks on the back side of their plates, near the bottom, to make a rooster puppet.
