Teaching Boys.......

[Marilyn]

Diana, one of our lessons this summer was putting on the whole armor of God, and we assembled a whole suit of Roman armor for each child using gold & silver poster board. I think these were from kits that we inherited from a congregation in Austin who had them leftover. They had gold belts with a holster to put the sword in. You could probably make some swords like these by using cardboard for a base and gluing silver construction paper or poster board over it.

The theme for the summer was the Keys to the Kingdom, and for the last lesson, they made crowns that had been pre-cut from the same gold posterboard. Purple tissue paper was used to form the top of the crowns, with gold crossbands and point on top and they got to glue plastic gem stones to them.

The armor and the crowns were really cool.
