If a student answers correctly, he or she gets to remove a sticky note to try and find the picture of the breastplate hidden behind one of the sticky notes. If the breastplate is found before everyone has had a chance to play, use another game board. (Each game board is different.)

 

What you will need: Paper Grocery Bags, Silver Poster Board or Silver Paint, Tape or Glue, and Scissors

How to make:

1. Cut a 5" hole in the middle bottom of a grocery bag. Cut a line from the hole up the middle of one of the longer sides of the grocery bag to the top of the bag. Cut 5" armholes at the bottom side of each bag.

2. Cut 3" x 4" rectangles from the silver poster board. Round off one of the 3" sides. This will be the bottom of the pieces.

3. Tape the pieces onto the front and back of the grocery bag starting at the bottom. Tape or glue a row all the way across overlapping as you go. Tape another row on top of that one over lapping the bottom row. Keep adding rows until the back and front are covered. You may want to paint the top and side to match the front and back.

Sing “I’m in the Lord’s Army

 

March to a Military Chant

Tell the children that they are in the Lord’s Army and they are going to practice marching. Start by counting one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, etc. until all the children are marching at the same pace. Act like a drill sergeant. Tell them to stand tall, face forward, lift their feet up high, and look proud to be in the Lord’s army. Then tell them to repeat after you the following lines. Once they get the rhythm and words, you can have them march in a circle.

We are Christians passing by, (We are Christians passing by)

We will hold our heads up high. (We will hold our heads up high)

We don’t steal and we don’t lie. (We don’t steal and we don’t lie)

“Stand for the truth” is our cry. (Stand for truth is our cry.)

God is God of earth and sky. (God is God of earth and sky.)

On God’s words, we can rely. (On God’s words we can rely.)

For our sins, we know he died. (For our sins, we know he died.)

We’ll stick with him by and by. (We’ll stick with him by and by.)
