FISH AND FOLLOW: Children can have fish on the floor that they will have to follow to catch the BIG ONE at the end of the "fishy trail". The BIG FISH at the end could be some candy taped onto a BIG FISH or a little container of "fish crackers". There will need to be enough BIG FISH prizes for each child that will play the game.

FISH SEWING: Children can decorate 2 fish and put them together with a little paper towel in the middle (for stuffing) and have the fish hole punched so that the children can then take yarn and SEW the fish together and then hang from their door knob or on the wall in their bedrooms or in their SS classroom.

"FISH WITH NAMES" ART: Give children several fish to color and decorate (even sequins are neat to glue where the gills would be). Children can glue their fish to a BLUE poster board and write names of people they could tell about Jesus so they can be "fishers of men". Have children take turns praying for their names!

FISH MOBILE: Have pictures of fish (from internet or books) and children can glue them onto another "fish" shape and hang the fish from a decorated hanger. Encourage children to write on their fish such as FISHERS OF MEN; FISH FOR SOULS; COME FOLLOW JESUS; FISH WITH JESUS, etc. Each child could make one to take home or children can work together to make one for the SS class to remind them each week to be Fishers of people!

BIGGEST FISH DRAWING: The teacher can place TWO pieces of blue poster board together and draw a VERY LARGE simple FISH drawing and have on the focal wall when the children arrive in class. As children arrive, they can be encouraged to draw little fish on the BIG fish and write a name of someone they would like to remember to pray for. The children will enjoy having such a BIG FISH on the wall in their classroom! A picture of the children standing by the BIG FISH would be an added delight for each child!!!
