    Over the years, we've come up with some interesting gifts and crafts for the kids to make as a Father's Day Sunday school activity. Some were hits and others were less than great.

    But, one of our favorites stands true year-after-year.

    It is simple, but does require a little help from some other adults.

    Sunday School Activity for Father's Day

     
    This Sunday school activity goes great with the Father's Day Sunday school lesson.

    You can do this activity one of two ways. I'll tell you right up front - one is messy and the other is not. Although, we do prefer the messy one.

    What you'll need for the NOT-so-messy activity:

    • construction paper
    • scissors
    • glue
    • markers


    What to do:

    Trace the child's foot on one piece of construction paper, cut it out, and paste it onto another sheet of construction paper. The papers should be two different colors.

    Then, print on the sheet this little message to the fathers or grandfathers:


    I am following in your foot prints (or steps - whichever you like).
    Proverbs 22:6 KJV
     

    You can print out the verse or leave it like it is above. With small paper, you may not have enough room for the entire verse. Of course, you can always print it out using a printer which will give you more space.

    If a child in your class doesn't have a father figure, he or she can give it to a special man in the church that they choose.


    What you'll need for the VERY messy activity:
    Older kids can get more creative
    if they choose and according to the
    amount of time you have.

    • construction paper
    • paint (be sure to get the kind that washes out of clothes easily)
    • makers
    • old sheet, blanket, or plastic table cloth
    • bucket for water
    • old towels
    What to do:

    Have the children take off their socks and shoes. Be sure to have a large work area covered with a old blanket or sheet. We like to use a plastic table cloth from our local dollar store.

    Next, paint the bottom of the child's foot and place it onto the paper to make a footprint. Be sure to have a bucket or bowl of water nearby for rinsing the foot and an old towel for drying.

    Do one paper for each child and let dry.

    When the paper is dry, print this message to fathers or grandfathers:


    I am following in your foot prints (or steps - whichever you like).
    Proverbs 22:6 KJV
     

    You can print out the verse or leave it like it is above. With small paper, you may not have enough room for the entire verse. Of course, you can always print it out using a printer which will give you more space.
