This morning we talked about the sixth day of creation. On this day, God made man and woman. First he formed man from the earth and breathed life into him. Then God made woman from Adam's rib. God took special care with mankind. They were his best creation and were given prominence over the rest of creation. We thought it was pretty cool that Adam got to name all of the animals. We also learned that we are all made in the image of God and are all made different and special.
We started our class time out by molding our family members with play dough. As we worked, our teacher told us that today's story would be about God making the very first person. Then, to show how unique we are, we took turns making our fingerprints on index cards and then looked at the prints closely through a magnifying glass. We compared each others prints and none of them were the same! Later we played "If You're Special" which is kind of like the game "Simon Says." Every time our teacher said "if you're special..." we had to listen to instructions and do what she said. Sometimes we were given silly instructions like "do a handstand."
Parents, look through a family photo album with your child. As you identify each person say, "God made (you/Daddy/Uncle/Grandma) special."
