Child of God Badges

To have the children understand that they are children of God

The children will understand the importance of depending on God.

• Three-inch circles cut from light-colored construction paper
• Markers
• Hole punch
• Yarn

• Give each child a circle with a hole punched in it near the edge.
• On the board write the sentence I am a child of God.
• Instruct the children to copy the phrase onto their circles.
• Thread a piece of yarn through the hole in the circle so that the children can wear the badges around their necks.
• Ask the group this question, Who are you?
• Have the children answer as a group, I am a child of God.
• Prompt the children to tell others who they are.

Art/Space Smart, Self Smart, Word Smart

The words can be copied onto the badges. The words should have thick letters so that the children can color them.

Punch a hole in the circles prior to the activity.

Make sure the yarn is not tied too tightly to any of the children.
