The Lord's Prayer Folding Craft Stick or Fan-fold Paper Craft
Children color the pattern and then either glue it to craft sticks or fan-fold it and add ribbon. The pattern folds down into a neat pile of sticks or folded paper. This pattern comes in both KJV and NIV. The KJV has the "For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power and the Glory, Forever. Amen" on the back pattern. Children can also draw their own design on the back of the pattern.
What you will need:
Mini Jumbo Craft Sticks (Optional)
Ribbon or Yarn
Scissors
Markers or Highlighter Markers
How to Make the No-tape, Folding Craft Stick Cards:
1. Before class prepare the folding craft stick cards. Print out the front and back patterns onto cardstock, cut them out and glue them to the craft sticks.

2. Line up eleven mini jumbo crafts sticks one on top of the other.
3. Spread glue on the back of a front pattern and stick it to the middle of the craft sticks pressing down and out from the middle of the paper.
4. Turn the craft sticks over and glue the back pattern to the craft sticks.
5. Let the glue dry completely. This could take up to an hour. When the glue is completely dry use an Exacto knife or box cutter to cut the paper. On one side carefully cut the paper in the space between the first and second craft stick.
Do not cut all the way through to the paper on the other side. Skip the next space and cut the space between the third and fourth craft sticks. Skip the next space and the top paper between the fifth and sixth craft sticks.
6. Turn the card over and cut the paper in the space between the second and third craft sticks, the fourth and fifth, and the sixth and seventh.
7. Carefully fold up the craft sticks.
8. In class have your children color the craft and add a pictue to the back. Add a ribbon to the top or time the sticks together with a piece of ribbon.

2. In class have your children color the patterns and then fan-fold the pattern on the lines. This will be easy if you scored the lines before class.
3. Punch holes on the sides where indicated on the pattern after it has been folded. You won't be able to punch all the way through all the layers so you can just punch half at a time using the hole you already punched on the last layer as a guide to punch the second half.
4. Tie one end of the ribbon several times to that it won't pull through the holes you punched. Thread the ribbon up through the holes from the bottom of one side of the folded paper and then back down through the holes on the other side of the folded paper. Tie the end. Carefully pull the top of the pattern up to unfold the pattern.

2. Print out the Game Letter Spaces onto colorful paper.
3. Print at least four of each letter.
Preparation: Place the papers with the letters on them on the floor to make a path. Place the start and finish words at the start and finish of your path.
To Play: Have your children take turns throwing the cube. Each player should tell something they can pray about that starts with the letter on the cube that is facing up. For example, if a child throws the cube with the F facing up, he may say something like, “I can pray for my friends.” He may also use someone’s name that starts with that letter if he knows of someone.
Once the player tells something he can pray for, he advances to the next closes space with that letter written on it. Keep playing until someone makes it to the finish. If a child can’t think of anything, you can use the examples below to give him help.
T – Keep me from temptation, teenagers, teachers, use our talents to glorify God, that we talk to others about Jesus, that we aren’t tardy for class, our team, that we watch only good shows on television, that we control temper, keep the Ten Commandments, do our best on tests, remember to be thankful, keep our thoughts pure, spend our time wisely, that we aren’t timid when telling others about Jesus, that we faithful in giving our tithe, pray for someone to be able to stop smoking tobacco, for God to keep us save when we travel.
S – Forgive me for sin, sick people, school, Sunday school, sisters, help us not to be selfish, for people who are sad, keep us safe, salvation for the lost, secretaries, that people will accept Jesus as their Savior, seniors, and that we can share with others.
M – Mom, men, missionaries, mean people, military, and myself.
B – Babies, brother, bad thoughts, bad people, remember to read my Bible, do our best, beware of the devil’s tricks, big brother, our bodies to be healthy, buddy, and businesses.
P – People, help me to remember to pray, pastors, police, parents, and the president.
F – Friends, family, thank you for our food, pray for people who don’t have enough food to eat, helps up not to fight, thank God creating flowers, freedom to worship the way we choose, firefighters, and fathers.
I absolutely love their resource. Time and prayer has most surely been truly dedicated to each lesson and activity. Thank you for all you do for the Kingdom of God. May God bless you each. Patricia
