HEN CALLING THE CHICKS: Choose one child to be the Mother Hen and tell the chicks to run away quickly but when the "Mother Hen" calls them back - they all turn and run back. Choose a new Mother Hen and play again as chicks scatter and then come running back to the "Mother Hen" when they're called back!

COVER UP GAME: Divide the children into two teams and have a separate circle and a blanket for each team. When the teacher calls out to the children to COVER UP, the teams will run to their own circle and get under the blanket and the first team to get completely under the cover, will win that round. Continue to play again as long as time allows.

HIDE AND SEEK: Designate one SEEKER to lead the hide and seek. Let all the rest of the class find a place to hide and he will try to "seek" the ducks. When the Leader calls out "duck, duck, duck, duck", and one is found -- the found-duck will shout out QUACK, QUACK, QUACK,QUACK, and will join the SEEKER to find more ducks!

DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE - Play the traditional game of Duck, Duck, Goose with children in a circle and one person to run around the circle of children and tap each one on the head and say, DUCK, DUCK, DUCK, etc until one head is tapped while saying GOOSE and that child will jump up and RUN after the leader. If caught before the runner gets back to his place, he will be the next one to tap heads, etc.

CHILDREN FOLD OUTS -- Give each child a piece of construction paper and fold back and forth about 4 times. Trace a child on the FOLD of the paper and cut along the traced lines but do not cut the hands and feet that are on the edge of the fold. When the paper is opened up, it should have children holding hands without being separated. Tape the children on the wall and write GOD LOVES AND CARES FOR HIS CHILDREN.

PAPER PLATE HEN WITH WINGS: Give each child a paper plate to color and decorate to look like a HEN with wings. Then children can cut some slits on each side of the plate so that the 'wings" can be folded into the middle of the plate. Trim some of the paper plate off at the top to shape like a head and draw the eyes and beak, etc. Write today Bible verse on the plate as well.

FEATHERED BIBLE VERSE: Purchase feathers from a store and give each child a piece of construction paper and some feathers. Children can write today's Bible verse or important words from our lesson today and then glue the ends of the feather OVER the written words. Gather in a circle on the floor to pray and thank Jesus for loving us so much that He keep calling us to come to Him.
