SOMEONE SPECIAL

Children of kindergarten age are very creative, until you hand them blank pages and ask that they draw pictures or write sentences.  Providing idea sparks (prompts) will help them focus their thoughts.  

Since kindergartners relate best to people, places and things with which they are familiar, so use prompts that allow them to tell about things they are familiar with. 

The Someone Special activity is perfect for this.  Through this unit, children have opportunities to share things that make them important and special.  Leaders and teachers also have the opportunity to help children understand just how special and important each is to the Lord.

These coloring pages/worksheets were created to use with the Someone Special activity.  You can download and print a page by clicking on the picture.

Children color the cake and draw the appropriate number of candles on their birthday cakes.  

For a special treat, use small candies to decorate the cakes.

We traced the children's hands and added "fingernail polish" and "rings" to bling them up.
Even the boys enjoyed it.

My personal favorite ... will it be a birthday, Christmas, a day at grandma's house?
Whatever they draw, it is sure to be fun and interesting. 

My children had fun being weighed on a scale and standing up tall to be measured.  

We cut pieces of yarn to show how tall they were, then attached it to their pages.

As a special celebration, invite children to bring in favorite toys for show and tell.
Make sure each is labeled so there are no "lost toy tragedies".
