Craft: Peaceful Target
Make a target out of red and white construction paper. You could prepare the circles for the children to cut or have the children make their own circles. In the center of the target write “Peaceful Home” and the memory verse. Tell them to put this target on their refrigerator at home and use a magnet to mark how close their home is to a peaceful home.

Craft: Family Team Player Pennant
Make a pennant either out of paper, foam or felt. The pennant could say something along the lines of “The (Last Name of the Child) Family Are Team Players.” Then you could add the memory verse below it. The child could then decorate the pennant and hang it in their house somewhere as a reminder to their family.
** You could also make jerseys the same way with the last name where it would be on the jersey.**
