3. Make Nameplates to Hang on Their Doors. Let the children make a fancy sign with their name on it to hang on their door. Give each child a piece of card stock or cardboard. Provide markers, paint, sequins, buttons, yarn, ric rac, etc. to decorate the signs.
4. Make Name Signs Using Letter Cookies or Alphabet Pasta – Let the children spell out their names with the cookies or pasta and then glue them onto some cardboard or card stock and then paint them. Acrylic paint will probably work best.

2. Print out the Names of Jesus Cards on to card stock. (Patterns available to members on The Resource Room.)
3. In class break your group up into teams.
4. Divide the cards evenly between the groups. Each group should pick one person to be the person who acts out the words for his team. Each team gets three minutes to guess as many words as they can.
The team member who is acting out the words may pick the words he wants to act out for his team. He can pass on certain words if the other members of his team are not able to guess the word or he thinks it is too hard to guess.
5. After each team has had three minutes to guess as many words as they can. Count up the number of words that have been guessed by each team. The team that has guessed the most words wins.
6. When the game is over have your children look up the Bible verses that go along with the words they guessed correctly.

5. Play a Name Game
Preparation:
1. Have the children sit in a circle.
How to Play:
The first child thinks of a name. The next child has to think of a name starting with the last letter of the first child’s name. For instance, if the first child picks “Mark”, the second child would have to think of a name starting with “K”.
2. Keep going around the circle until someone cannot think of a name.
3. Start again when someone cannot think of a name and keep playing like this until only one child is left.
You can also have each child think of a name using the alphabet. The first child would have to think of a name starting with “A”, the second child would have to think of a name starting with a “B”, and so on. Or you could have the children think of bible names, maybe give a prize to the child that can think of the most Bible names.
