Matthew 5:16 see where they re going. A lighthouse is sometimes the only light around, just like sometimes we re the only ones around who love God and are shining our light to let others know about Him. Do you tell others about God? Do you let your light shine? Class Time Directions 1. Take one of the plastic lids and snap onto the soufflé cup. 2. Apply craft glue to the bottom rim of the Styrofoam cup. Then turn the plastic soufflé cup upside-down and carefully center and press onto the bottom of the cup. 3. Apply a small pool of craft glue to the bottom of the soufflé cup. Then take the other plastic lid, turn it upside-down, and carefully center and press it onto the bottom of the soufflé cup. 4. Take the roof circle, overlap the ends to form a cone and glue stick together. The roof cone should be sized to fit snuggly inside the upside-down plastic lid. Zippered baggies Pre-Prep 1. Photocopy the Lighthouse Roof pattern onto red cardstock and cut out the roof circles (and along the line to the center of each circle), one per child. 2. Photocopy the Lighthouse Windows pattern onto yellow cardstock and cut out one strip per child. 3. Photocopy the Lighthouse Verses pattern onto white copy paper and cut out a pair of verses for each child. 5. 4. Using a potato peeler or apple corer, poke a large hole in the bottom of each Styrofoam cup and remove the entire bottom. Apply a bead of craft glue around the inside edge of the upside-down plastic lid. Then press the roof cone into the glue. 6. Cut out the Bible verses and glue stick to the outside of the lighthouse. 7. Cut out each of the windows from the windows strip and glue stick to the outside of the lighthouse. 8. Finally, to see how it works, turn on the tea light and place it under the lighthouse. 5. In a zippered baggie for each child, place an LED tea light, a soufflé cup, two lids, a roof circle, a windows strip, and a pair of Bible verses. Place the baggie alongside a Styrofoam cup for each child. Sunsational Science and Crafts 21
Lone Lighthouse (V.2) Tip Corner Pour craft glue into soufflé cups, for every 2 children, and use craft sticks cut in half to spread it. Glue dots can be used instead of craft glue. As an inexpensive alternative to the LED tea lights, use a clear soufflé cup and a strip of yellow construction paper coiled up inside to simulate the light.

Verse and Song Time This section is for those who have extra time after the daily craft and/or science experiments are completed. Memory Verse Review To review the theme verse, play the appropriate Scripture song from the Memory Verse Songs DVD and have children sing along. Then play a game to review today s verse with them. Use your arm as a volume indicator. Hold your arm out to your side and lower it for soft, raise it high for loud with variations on the loudness throughout. Children say the verse based on the volume you indicate with your arm. Change the volume before the kids say the verse, or as they re saying it. Choose one or two children to also control the volume while the others say the verse. Theme Verse: But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." Genesis 6:8 Pre-Primaries: brave, be strong."
