Service-station Sack of Reminders
OBJECTIVE: Encourage children to take this bag home and pull out acts of kindness each day/week to remind them to serve others. Talk about the rewards that come from service (e.g. making one feel happy, increasing talents, and the blessings that come from Heavenly Father). Encourage children to add to these deeds by making their own list of service ideas.
TO MAKE Print or copy, color, and cut out the activity. Glue label on a brown paper lunch-size bag. Place word strips in the bag.
THOUGHT TREAT: Life Savers Candy Cars. Give each child a whole pack of Life Savers candies (for the car body), and glue individual Life Savers on sides for the wheel. Remind children that if they speed by others not stopping to serve, they could swerve off the straight and narrow path that leads back to our Heavenly Father.
