FAMILY ACTIVITY
Pick one of these two to do as a family.
- Have each person in your family make a list of the things in creation that God made. These lists could be drawings or even cut outs of photos or words from magazines. Then as a family create a collage or a cumulative list of all the things you came up with. You could make this a fun game and set a timer for 3-5 minutes (depending on the age of your kids) and see who can come up with the longest list of things God created!
- Start with the oldest person in the family. Starting with the letter A name things alphabetically that God created. Go through the alphabet until someone gets stuck (you may even have to start over at the beginning of the alphabet if you get all the way through). When someone gets stuck they are “out” until one person is left standing.
