|Paper Plate Charactor Masks and Bible Story Plays paper
plates,glue,yarn,construction paper,scissors,markers,crayons
Choose a story from the Bible... Example "Daniel and the Lions
Den",Use the paper plates to make a lion mask, daniel mask, or
angel mask, kings mask etc. Take the paper plates and cut holes
for the childrens eyes, glue yarn for the mane of the lions and
brown paper for the face of the lion and the whiskers, make a
crown for the king, a halo for the angel etc. Attach to the
childrens faces with string and have them play act the story out
as you read it to the class. They really love this and makes
them remember it a lot better. Other great stories to do with
this are... Noah's ark (using two of animals), David and Goliath
(have children make armor out of plates) , Moses (long white
beard with yarn on the plate), Samson and Delilah (have long
hair of yarn that they can cut off). Have fun with it and let
the kids make their own and have fun play acting.
