K–2nd

Option 1: “God Is #1” Hand

construction paper (two pieces per child), crayons/markers, stapler/staples

Gather supplies. Make a sample craft.

Ask the children if they have ever been to a sporting event where the fans held up a big foam hand that declared that their team was number one. Give each child two pieces of construction paper. Have children draw a large hand that is making the “#1” gesture on each piece of paper (hands should be the same size). Have children write (or have the teacher write) “God Is #1” in the middle of one hand. Decorate both hands using the crayons/markers. Staple the two construction paper hands together so that their hand can be inserted into the bottom.
