I love the way this lesson represents all family arrangements and does not make any child feel left out. I teach in an urban situation where many of the children do not have that nuclear family. Thanks for giving me a way to handle this day with God’s love. I would also suggest that other family members who do play the ‘Father figure” could somehow be incorporated.
God bless this wonderful team for always rising to the challenge and providing timely materials to be a blessing to the next generation. May God bless the entire team. Special thanks to Mandy for all her wonderful artistic work. God bless you.
Maybe set up card or coloring page for kids, w/o a dad, to honor a cool father figure, grandpa, step dad, sponsor, instructor, coach, friend, neighbor….
Possibly have words or phrases pre printed and cut out to “build” a card or small plaque. This may take a bit of prior prep time, to make the pieces and some examples to give the kids ideas. But it would be less time consuming in the classroom, as well as easy for the younger set, who don’t read and write well or yet. In addition, possibly have some “small” coloring pictures that can also be attached in a designated portion or even let them draw in free hand.
