2. Punch holes using a hole punch in the leg pattern and the neck of the head pattern.

3. Punch a hole in the middle of a paper cup using sharp scissors. Keep the hole as small as possible. Punch a length of yarn through the bottom outside of the cup to the inside of the cup. Pull the yarn through and tie a large knot about five inches from the end of the yarn. Tie the end of the yarn to the hole in the top of the legs so that about half the legs hang down from the cup. (See picture)

4. Fold the head pattern at the neck and string it onto the other end of the yarn and tape it to the bottom of the cup. Tape the yarn that is behind the head pattern to the back of the head. Tie the end of the yarn to a craft stick.

5. Fold the arm patterns and tape them to the cup.

6. You can also tie heavy duty thread to the feet and to the ends of the craft sticks to make a marionette. If you have younger children, you can just let the legs hang. They can make the puppet dance by moving the craft stick and tapping the feet pattern to a table.

How to Play:

1. Have your children line up along the start line, and have them take turns answering a question.

If the child answers the question correctly, he or she gets to spin the spinner and move according to what he or she has spun. If the spinner lands on "walking", the child takes one step forward.

If the spinner lands on "Leaping" the child jump with both feet together as far as he can.

If the spinner lands on "Praising God!, the child raises his hands above his head, says "Praise God", Hallelujah, or other praise words and jumps or steps forward two steps or jumps. The child that reaches the finish line first wins.

If you have big kids and little playing at the same time, start the little kids farther forward than the bigger kids.

2. In class, have your students look up the Bible verse in their Bibles and then try to find the correct path through the maze to reveal the verse with the words in the correct order. Instruct your children to draw lines from one word to the other without crossing any lines or words that are out of order in that path. There is only one path with the words in the correct order, so if a word is out of order, the child should try another path until all the words are in order.
