On the 4th of July you can find out where fireworks are being held in your town. Some children may not (way past bedtime for some) have seen fireworks before and some have. You can ask them if they have ever seen them. What colors do they come in? Where do you see fireworks? What design do they make in the sky? Do they make noise? How do they get up in the sky? Once the children answer these different questions; show the children pictures of fireworks. You can even show them a video of fireworks just so they have an idea of what they look like. You can have children say what colors they see in the pictures or videos being shown.

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 Jesus is Coming! story you will read later together.
Questions to ask if you like:
-
Do you see an ark in this picture? (Yes)
*Where is the ark? (On land and top of a mountain)
*Why do you think the ark is on top of the mountain? (Accept all answers. When the rain stopped and the flood went down the ark stopped on top of the mountain) What do you see in the ark? (People and animals)
*What do you see in the ark? (People and animals)
*What do you see in the picture over the ark? (A rainbow)
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 Revelation. When you find Revelation in the new testament look for the number 21 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see Revelation 21. We are looking for verse 3, and those numbers are much smaller under the big 21.”
After looking at the Bible show them “Revelation 21:3” written out on their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet. To see and hear all of the Books that make up the Bible watch this fun, short video, The Books of the Bible, by Readeez!
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.

Since we have been learning about firecrackers today here is a video on how to make Firecrackers with paint: Provide the children with a white piece of construction paper. Next, have the child scoop different colors of the paint onto their paper (try to have the child put the colors of paint close together). Now have the child place the lid over the paint (make sure the lid is covering the paint). Next, you are going to have the child hit the lid covering the paint with the hammer to make their fireworks. Allow the child to continue the process to make fireworks all over their paper.. You may want to have just a couple children at a time so that you can watch them closely as they use the hammer. This can be a messy project so make sure you are in an area that you don’t mind paint getting onto things. It’s also SUPER FUN!
