Today we are going to have our very own rodeo!!!
Set up these different stations/centers for children to rotate between all of them. If it’s a classroom setting you can divide the children into groups and have a certain amount of time at each station and then have them rotate. Or you can just set up the stations and allow children to visit each area when they feel like it. If you wanted to expand this lesson even more you could show children pictures and videos of a rodeo and talk about what happens at a rodeo.
1. Panning for gold: make sure you watch the video under the "Extra Content" tab above so that you know what to do and how to set up the station.
2. Roping Cattle: make sure you have some room to do this activity. It works best if you have 2 liter soda bottles. Go to Google images and find some pictures of cows heads, print them out and cut them out. Then tape them to the top of the bottle. You will need a rope or lasso to have the children swing around and try to get on top of the bottle then they will have roped the cow.
3. Color Round-up: make sure you watch the video under the "Game" tab above so that you know what to do and how to set up the station.
4. Pin the splotches on the cow: this activity is similar to the game “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” but without the donkey and without the spinning around. Make a large white cow out of construction paper and tape the cow to the wall. Next cut out black splotches or blobs. If you’d like to blindfold the children you may put that over their eyes then hand them a black splotch with a piece of tape stuck to the back. They can walk forward and stick the black cow splotch onto the white cow. It doesn’t matter where they put the black splotch anywhere is great.

We have been learning about the chariot of fire that God sent to take Elijah up to heaven in. For worship today we are going to make a flame to represent the fire on the chariot. You can use the large flame in the pattern and have the children paint it with orange, red and yellow paint, or you can use the small flame and make it into a flame headband. If you choose to make the flame headband you can have children color the flame with orange, red and yellow crayons and then tape it to their headband.

We are going to make gold rocks for art today. Make sure you watch the gold rocks video so that you know what to do and how to set up the project. This is a fun art project for going outside finding different sizes of rocks, learning about gold mining for it and panning for it. You may want to find some information about gold and chat about it with the children while you are out looking for rocks. When you come inside have the glue paint, glitter and paint ready to go. You may want to have a piece of foil, wax paper or paper plate for each child with their name of it, that way they can paint their gold on top of the the paper and then it will all stay in one place.
