Bubble Wrap Fish

Bubble Wrap Fish

I used a die cut for the fish.  I covered the table with plastic then let the kids use bubble rap for paint. 


Pour paint onto a paper plate. Choose any color(s) you wish.  Lay a piece of bubble wrap (bubble side down) onto the paint.  Pick it up and "stamp" the fish with it.  Glue the fish onto blue paper.

Fishers of Men Card Game

Fishers of Men Game

This is an exciting way for children to get to know who the other children are in their class. When the children first arrive in class, I divide them up into small groups. (I have several decks of these cards made up.)  I give each group a deck of the cards and let them play the game which is similar to "Go Fish".  Sometimes I include pictures of missionaries, ministers, or elders so they can get to know who they are as well.

The instructions for making this game are a little more challenging since I was unable to upload a publisher document that can be edited.  

Instructions:.

There are two different ways to make this.  One is to print the .pdf file on the instructions page.  Click here for the instructions page.  Then print and glue the pictures on the front.  Laminate and cut apart.

The second way involves computer work:

1. Print and Create cards
2. Front Cards
3. Back Cards
4. Open up Microsoft Word or Publisher.  Set your page orientation at landscape instead of portrait.
5. Click on "insert a picture".  Insert the Fishers of Men Front picture.
6. Increase the picture size to be the full size of the page.
7. Insert the child's picture and put it in place.  You may have to format this picture to be in the front. Be sure to make two cards with each picture and name.
8. Insert a text box and put the child's name.
9. Continue until all children's pictures are in place.  You will need to make more than one page made like this.
10. Insert a new page.  
11. Insert the "Fishers of Men Back" picture.  
12. Increase the picture size to be the full size of the page.
13. Print the pages with the children's pictures on the front and the "Fishers of Men" words on the back.
14. Laminate.
15. Cut apart.
16. Play the game!

Fish

 

Make your own small sea to use with many of the different Bible stories that have fish in them.  

Materials:

Ziploc bag

Aquarium rocks

Shredded green paper

Small sea shells if desired

Colored poster board

Small fun foam fish

1. Cut two pieces of poster board slightly larger than the ziploc bag.  Cut a square hole in the center of one of them.  Set both of them aside.
2. Cut out some small fish from colored fun foam.
3. Put the shredded green paper ("seaweed") inside the bottom of the ziploc bag.
4. Pour a small amount of colored aquarium rocks inside on top of the green paper.
5. Put in sea shells and fish.
6. Seal the Ziploc bag.
7. Sandwich the Ziploc bag between the two pieces of colored construction paper.  Staple it all the way around.
