Attentiveness
“We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.” – Hebrews 2:1
Definition: Paying close attention to someone or something
Reason Chosen: Helping your children to remain attentive is a very important skill in life. They need to learn to really focus in school, a job and life. It is a taught skill that can be developed like all the other character qualities we have been working on. Kids need to learn how to pay attention to people and show that they are listening by responding and keeping eye contact. I hope you’ll join us for our character development this week.
Word Ring At the beginning of each week, the craft will be exactly the same because we will simply be adding a new word to our already established word ring.
Materials Needed
* Stock Card Paper (I had a whole stack like this – found at any craft store)
* Assorted Sticker Letters (I just bought a bunch on clearance at Michael’s)
* Binder Clips (Craft Store)
* Paper Cutter or Scissors
* Hole Punch
The girls chose a paper style they thought would look good with the letters they chose. We then helped them sound out “attentiveness.” They took turns finding the letters we needed and sticking them on the paper…they’re kids – the letters will not be stuck on perfect. I then cut the paper to the same size as the paper from last week. We punched a hole in the corner and stuck it on our binding clip. Each week, a new word will be added to the clip in similar fashion. I then wrote the Bible verse on the back. If your kids are older, have them do it themselves. We’ll spend this week learning the word, meaning and memorizing the scripture.
Cute project! You have a lot of fun ideas here!
Thank you so much, Jerri.
