Kids 2: 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 and Discussion: Home in the Woods by Eliza Wheeler or This Is Our House by Hyewon Yum Discussion prompt questions:  What parts of the house in the story do you like the best? What are some things that the people in the story learned while they were at home? To them, do you think there’s “no place like home”? What do you learn in your home? What do you love about your house? Song and Discussion: Wise Man and the Foolish Man Sing/learn “The Wise Man and the Foolish Man” song (Cedarmont Kids has a version on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HVdbULOVHA ). Explain to the children that individually and as families we need to exercise faith in God and build our foundation on Him. Ask “What are some things families could do in their home to grow closer to God? What are some things your family does that help you stay close to God?” Game and Discussion: Red Rover/Twister Play Red Rover or Twister. If you play Red Rover, explain that we want our families and our Moms for America ✯ Cottage Kids 3
