Kids 10: Activity Day Outline DETAILED OUTLINE: The agenda of activities can be rearranged to best meet the needs of your group. If you have enough children of various ages and parent participation, you can divide the children into two groups for some of the activities and even have two activities taking place at the same time. We do, however, encourage the opening/closing to be done with all the children together. Opening:  Opening Prayer  Pledge of Allegiance You can have one of the children hold a small flag or use a larger flag. This is a great opportunity to teach the children respect and proper care and folding of the flag. See the Activity Day Resource pdf for a diagram on the proper way to fold the flag. If you use an actual pole and stand for the flag you can keep it up throughout the Activity Day.  Preamble: have the children read or recite the preamble to the United States Constitution. (Doing this each day as a family will have your children memorizing it in no time at all. See the Activity Day Resource pdf) Theme Story & Discussion: We the Kids: The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States by David Catrow or A More Perfect Union: The Story of Our Constitution by Betsy Maestro and Giulio Maestro Discussion prompt suggestions: 1. Why do you think it’s important that we learn and remember what’s in the Constitution? 2. What would be different in your life if you didn’t have freedom? 3. Would we be here together right now? 4. What would you say to the men who wrote the Constitution if you could talk to them today? 5. What do you think they would say to you? How do you think they feel about you? 6. What do you do to show that you love being free? Moms for America ✯ Cottage Kids 3
