Hey Kids!

Here are some activities you can do this week to remind you that we all need time to rest.
Daily Prayer
Dear Father, help us to be faithful in following the teaching we find in your Word, but also help us to follow the example of Jesus in loving and caring for others. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Instructions
- Be creative with your materials. Use what you’ve got around the house. Bring out the coat rack, use clamps, clothes pins, duct tape, etc. Use lightweight sheets and blankets. Re-arrange furniture so you have enough floor space for a fort. Lay heavy blankets on the floor.
- String up a clothes line across the room. Tie it to curtain rods or door hinges, anything as long as it’s sturdy. Use clothes pins to hold sheets together. Pillows or books can be used as weights to hold fort walls in place. Use chairs and sides of sofas to drape blankets over.
- Clamps, chip clips or rubber bands are good for keeping sheets and blankets in place on the back of chairs, couch cushions, etc. Face the TV and grab a movie. This is just personal preference, but it’s really fun to have a movie night inside your fort.
Prayer Chain
Make a “prayer chain” out of strips of paper to make loops to hook together. Write all the things you can think of (one idea on each loop) to pray about or people’s names. Hang the PRAYER CHAIN around your room and PRAY TOGETHER every day.
