Armor of God Coloring and Activity Sheets

You can use the first coloring sheet several different ways. Use the soldier picture with the complete armor and have the children color the entire picture with all the armor, use the soldier picture with separate armor pieces and have the children color and glue on a different piece of armor each lesson, or use the soldier picture with just the belt missing for the Belt of Truth lesson and have your children glue on just the belt.

Make Soldier Shoes

What you will need: Scraps of Old Floor Linoleum, Stretchy Material that Doesn't Fray such as Spandex, (You won't need very much, about 2" - 3" for each child. So you can make 18 sets of straps from a yard of material) Hole Punch, and Scissors

What to do:

1. Flatten out the linoleum on the floor so that the bottom side of the linoleum is facing up. Trace the children's feet and cut them out. Linoleum is fairly easy to cut so you shouldn't need special scissors.

2. Mark six holes about 1/2" to 3/4" depending on the size of the shoe along each side of the sole starting at about where the base of the toe would be. Punch holes in the linoleum sole with a hole punch. I used a leather punch.

3. Cut strips of material so that the stretch of the material is along the length of the material. Spandex stretches both ways so you won't have to worry about which way to cut it. I cut 1" strips across the whole width of the material. I think it was 45" wide and used the whole length. Cut both ends to a point as shown in the picture.

4. Start threading the strip through the holes at the toe so that the material goes from side to side over the top of the shoe. The brown on the diagram is the material on the top of the shoe. The pink shows how the material looks on the bottom of the shoe. Use the diagram to thread the rest of the shoe. When you get to the last holes place the child's foot in the shoe loosening it if you have to. Bring the material strips up in front of the child's foot crossing them over and then behind the heal of their feet winding it around their legs until you run out of material and then tie it at the top. (If you don't want to use material, you can use 3/4" elastic instead.)

This craft comes from the "Armor of God - Shoes" Bible Lesson on The Resource Room where you will find even more crafts, games and learning activities for Sunday School.

What you will need:

Newspapers

Silver/gold Poster Board

Brass Brads

Silver Paint

Tape

How to make:

1. Cut out a visor from silver poster board as shown in the picture. A pattern for the visor is available to members of Danielle's Place and The Resource Room. Cut out the slats in the middle. Use the pattern to trace the shape onto silver poster board. The silver poster board is actually silver and gold. One side is silver and one is gold. Poke a hole at each end of the visor.

2. To make the hat part of the helmet place two or three pieces of newspaper on top of each other and fold them in half on the natural fold with the fold on your left. Fold the top half down over the bottom half. The new fold should be at the top. Fold the top two corners in so that they meet in the middle. See diagram # 1.

3. Fold up the bottom edge so that it meets the bottom edge of the triangles you just made. But only fold up 4 layers of newspaper. The other layers will be folded up on the back. See diagram # 2.

4. Fold up the bottom edge of the newspaper again so that it is folded at the bottom edge of the triangles. See diagram # 3.

5. Turn the hat over and do the same thing to the other side.

6. Fold the points that stick out back and over each other. Punch a hole in the folded-over triangles. This is where you will attach the visor. Tape it down.

7. Put your hand up inside the triangle and spread it out.

8. Paint the hat silver or a metal color.

9. Attach the visor to the hat with brads so that it can be lifted up and down.

I used the instructions for the newspaper hats, but used heavy duty aluminum foil instead. I used the wide foil. The face guard was cut from silver poster board using the pattern on the web site and attached with paper brads. Elaine

I visit your site weekly. I always find ideas to use with my Bible preschool class. I especially enjoyed the scripture armor lessons. The lessons are so easy to adapt to the age of the children who are in my class. Sometimes I have drop in siblings and the lessons seem to keep their interest too. I' m using the Palm Sunday lesson too. Keep up the good work. I recommend your site to all my friends. Thanks, Melonie

Foam Core Board Shield

What you will need:

Foam Core Board or Cardboard

Paint

Tape

What to do:

1. Cut a shield shape from half a sheet of foam core board or cardboard.

2. Paint the shield with child-safe paint.

3. Add a coat of arms if you would like.

4. Cut a strip of cardboard and glue to the back for a handle.

I purchased 14" cardboard cake rounds and the children painted them with metallic paint for shields. The children wrote "Shield of Faith" on the front when they were dry. The cake boards were inexpensive and a lot less prep time for me. I used duct tape for the handle by pressing the flat ends of the tape to the board then pressing the middle part of the tape together. Elaine

Tunic and Cape

The tunic and cape were made from a piece of stretchy red material that cost $1.00 a yard at Wal-mart. I used one yard for the tunic and one for the cape. To make the cape I just cut a square piece of material and tied two corners together around the neck. To make the tunic I just folded a rectangle piece in half and cut a neck hole in the middle of the folded end. Put it over the child's head and use a length of material to tie it around the child's waist.

I cut the shoes from fun foam and used curling ribbon for the laces. It was precious to see the children wearing their shoes as they left church. Elaine

Songs for the Armor of God Theme

March to a Military Chant - Start by counting one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, etc. until all the children are marching at the same pace. Act like a drill sergeant. Tell them to stand tall, face forward, lift their feet up high, and look proud to be in the Lord's army. Then tell them to repeat after you the following lines. Once they get the rhythm and words, you can have them march in a circle.

We Are Christians
Written by Carolyn Warvel

Do not copy this song and place it on another web site, blog, pdf. file etc.

We are Christians passing by. (We are Christians passing by.)
We will hold our heads up high. (We will hold our heads up high.)
We don't steal and we don't lie. (We don't steal and we don't lie.)
"Stand for the truth" is our cry. (Stand for truth is our cry.)
God is God of earth and sky. (God is God of earth and sky.)
On God's words we can rely. (On God's words we can rely.)
For our sins, we know he died. (For our sins, we know he died.)
We'll stick with him by and by. (We'll stick with him by and by.)
