Preparation:
Depending on the age of the children, you may want to draw the picture
on the pillowcase and have them color it in. Older children can do the
entire project by themselves. Insert the piece of cardboard into the pillowcase;
this will keep the marker from going through to the other side of the
pillow. You may want to have the children practice their designs a blank
sheet of paper first.
What you will do:
Give each of the children in your class a pillowcase (and cardboard insert).
On one side, have the children draw a large picture of a smiling sunrise.
Help them write the words, "Rise and
shine, give God the glory, glory, children of the Lord" around
the smiling sunrise.
Once complete, flip the pillowcase over and let them draw a picture of
a rainbow. Help the children write, "Watch
over me as I sleep, sweet Lord Jesus."
What you will say:
Each morning when you wake up, turn your pillow over to the side that
says "Rise and shine, give God the glory, glory, children of the
Lord." This will remind us to give God thanks each day. When you
get ready to go to sleep turn the pillow over to the side that says, "Watch
over me as I sleep, sweet Lord Jesus." with God watching us, we will
know that we will have a good night's sleep.
