CREATION WORLD

WONDER KNOWING ME

Share your ideas about what God is like and create a

collaborative image combining your ideas. You

could use playdough or other art materials you have to

hand

Using spaghetti letters, in groups write out your own hope for people who do not have enough food to eat, then take a picture of it.

On your own, write down some of your ideas about prayer. Create a piece of art using your ideas e.g. a poem, painting, collage.

Find out what your name means. Create a picture that shows other people what your name means.
