Bring a sheet to circle time and have the children place chairs together to make an old fashion fort or tent. You could also use a table and put blankets over the table to make your tent. Once the tent is made; you can make your own flames to make a campfire with or you could go to Day 1 of our camping theme under Art where we made our own flames. You can check that out if you would like to learn how to make your own flames. Help your child set up their campfire under their tent they just made. While sitting around your imaginary campfire; grab a couple books that you can read with your child in the tent.
You will be able to find a video on how to build a fort here.

Print out the Bible memory verse coloring sheet and have your children color the picture. Sit with your children while they are coloring and talk about what they see in the picture (see questions below if you’d like some ideas). Your discussion will lead into the Paul's Journey story you have read together.
Questions to ask if you like:
-
• How many people do you see in this picture? (3)
• Where does it look like people are walking? (On a road, outside. Children may have different answers for this one and you can accept them all)
• What does it look like the people are doing? (Talking to each other)
• Does it look like they are happy to be together? (Yes)
• Is there anything else in this picture that you'd like to share and talk about? (Accept all answers)
This is a perfect time to talk about the Bible and how to use it. You can show the children your Bible so they have a better understanding of what a book, chapter and verse are. You can say: "The Bible is one big book made up of many smaller books. Each book has a name. Today we are learning a Bible verse in the book of Acts. When you find Acts in the new testament look for the number 9 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see Acts 9:28. We are looking for verse 28, and that number is much smaller under the big 9."
After looking at the Bible show them "Acts 9:28" written out on their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet. To see and hear all the books that make up the Bible watch this fun, short video, Books Of The Bible, by Reader!
After they are done coloring they can hang their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet up in a special place. Then when your child walks by the sheet they can work on memorizing the Bible verse.

Talk to the children about animal tracks in the wild. Tell the children that when animals walk around on the mud and dirt they sometimes leave their foot prints. Lay out a long piece of butcher paper or you could tape multiple pieces of printer paper together and lay it on the floor. Provide the children with trays of paint. Have the children dip their feet/hands in the paint and then walk on the paper leaving their tracks behind! You can expand on this lesson by having the children say what kind of tracks they are making. Are they are pretending to be an animal while walking through paint. Maybe the children decide to do the “bear walk” and walk on the paper using their hands and feet to make tracks.
