Craft: Creation Numbers (All Grades)

Craft: Creation Book (All Grades)
You will need the larger pieces of construction paper and you may need to play with how to get 8 pages (7 days and a cover) from one piece of paper. My suggestion would be to cut the paper in half lengthwise and glue them together then do an accordion fold to make 8 pages. You can either do the numbers and words for them (younger grades) or have them write them. I like the circle for the drawing on the pages but you don’t have to do that.

Game: Creation Bean Bag Toss (All Grades)
You will need 7 things to throw bean bags into like hula hoops or buckets and then many bean-bags. Attached is a bunch of pictures to tape to the bean bags and they are trying to throw the bean bag into the correctly numbered bucket. I don’t know how many bean bags we have but you may need to be creative with things you could put the pictures on and throw into the buckets. I think this would be a very fun and interactive game at the beginning as kids are coming in and something that is easy to join in on.
