GOD KNOWS ME: FAMILY "STICKY TRUTH" ACTIVITY
Supplies: Sticky notes (from Sunday Jr church baggie) and pencils, pens or crayons
Do this activity to help your kids remember God made every part of them and loves them. Take turns putting sticky notes on each other on different body parts
(head, arms, feet, heart ) and write or draw on each sticky note what you’re thankful for about that part of the body. For example: Thank you for a head to
be creative and learn; Thank you for arms to play games and sports and give hugs; Thank you for feet to go on walks and take us places; Thank you for a
heart to love you and love others. As you take turns placing the sticky notes on each other, say a prayer to thank God for making each person special and
unique, and for caring about us and knowing us. God had you in mind even before you were born. We can be thankful for the way He has created each of us. You’re special and you belong because you are God’s child!
Psalm 139:13-16 (the Message)
"Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I’d even lived one day."
