Suggested Activities:
• Character Trait:
- 
Glue two circles onto a popsicle stick - one with a happy face and one with a sad face (or use the Teaching Emotions printable). Give various scenarios and have the child decide whether the situation demonstrates a good choices or a bad choice. Show the happy face for "good choices" and the sad face for "bad choices." Explain that Jesus is happy when we obey. It makes Jesus sad when we choose to not obey. Allow the child to create his own scenarios.
- 
Read God, I Need to Talk to You About Laziness by Susan K. Leigh.
• Bible:
- Fingerpaint the Jonah Praying worksheet. Let dry. Line the waves with glue and sprinkle with glitter.
- Fish Cookies
From sugar cookie dough, cut triangles that are two different shapes (or use a whale cookie cutter). Overlap the two triangles (with the points of the triangles facing the same direction) to make a fish shape. Press down to make the shapes adhere together. Bake according to the recipe. Frost the fish cookie with blue icing. Add a teddy bear cookie or draw a stick man in the frosting to represent Jonah.
- "Hug and Seek"
Play a variation of Hide-and-Seek to help the child(ren) learn we can't hide from God. Have one person count to ten while everyone else hides. Each time the seeking person sees a "hidden" person, give him or her a hug and say, "God sees you and so do I." (Idea from Pray and Play Bible)
• Letters & Numbers:
- Weeks 25-26 focus on the snake characters. This week focuses on the letter "S." Start by creating the character using play dough snakes or pipe cleaners and move to writing the characters on the Snake Characters worksheet.
- On 1” Tracing Paper, have the child write number 0-5. Draw a box for each number and add the green and red dots if needed.
• Information:
Return to writing the child’s first and last name on the 1” Tracing Paper. Using the 4 Year Curriculum Handwriting Worksheets as examples, draw a box for each letter in the child’s first and last name and add the green and red dots if needed.
• My Color Book:
I received the idea of creating color books from Bubs' Kindergarten class. He enjoyed reading them so much that I decided to create my own and add them to the end of the 4 Year Curriculum. There are nine color books along with one blank book available to create your own. Each book contains a title, a place for the child to declare authorship (write his name), four sentences and pictures to match, and the words "The End." All of the sentences follow the "A/An/The ______ is (color)." The pictures guide the child in reading the book. The books are created so that you can print them front and back and have six total pages per book. From now until the end of the curriculum, the child will create a different "My Color Book" each week. This week create the My Red Book. View suggestions...
• Book of the Week:
- Discuss your bedtime routine.
- Discuss fears and how to handle them.
- Learn a Bible verse or song to sing when your child gets scared.
Example: Psalm 56:3-4 - When I am afraid, I will trust in you, in God whose Word I praise.
“When I am Afraid” - Steve Green – Hide 'Em in Your Heart Vol. 1
• Fine Motor Skills: 
Make cards using markers, glue, scissors, etc. Use this activity to review shapes, colors, and have your child practice writing his name.
• Gross Motor Skills:
Place pillows, couch cushions or anything soft that your child can crawl over. Have fun making mountains and climbing to the peaks!
