Letter of the week: Y
Theme: Saying Yes to God!
Saint of the Week: St. Yolanda
Craft: 'Yes Lord' thumbs up craft
This is a very simple craft to make. Just have your child trace their hand, and help them cut it out if necessary. Fold the fingers back to glue it into a thumbs up "Yes", and add a cross. Write "Yes, Lord" with a marker, and tape a string or pipe cleaner on the back to make it into a hang-able ornament.
Here's another variation I made that includes the
sign language "L" for Lord as well.
Just be sure that when you trace your hand the thumb
is sticking up nice and high! :-)
Grab Bag Ideas for the Letter Y: (be sure to check out the Classroom Script
for directions on using the grab bag.) anything yellow, boat (for yacht), yard sale sign, yard stick, yarn, yearbook, yeast package, yield sign, yo-yo.

umm... I know what our high schoolers will be doing at CYM on Thursday!!! :) Just kidding, although I love it and they do like this song. I wonder if they will humor me and make this. :)
ReplyDeleteIn my experience, teenagers often enjoy things they pretend not to. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Kids of all ages (yes even high school) love to sign this praise and worship song. I can still picture my students raising their fingers and thumbs shouting "yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord!"
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I still sing this song at young adult coffee houses ;)
ReplyDeleteNice craft ideas, thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy kids LOVE this song! Can't wait to do this craft with them!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! We are working with our 3 year old that thumbs up is for good manners, down for bad manners, this is a great reinforcer!
