Morning Celebration By Marilyn Marx (Poem)

Handouts/Activities:

1) Necklaces: Make a paper circle with a sun on one side and a moon on the other. Let the children color both sides of the circle.  Punch a hole in the top of their circles and thread a long piece of yarn through it to make them a necklace.
I highly recommend pre-cutting for this activity because of the age of the children).There is a sun and moon from LDS.org in the coloring page section below. They will have fun turning it over and over.

2) Bring glue sticks to class. Have pre-cut suns, moons, clouds, and stars for the children. Fold a piece of paper in half. Have the children color and glue a day scene on one side and a night scene on the other.

3) Make a paper sun like this one. You could also add streamers of yellow paper or ribbon to make trailing sunbeams. You could make it into a necklace.

4) Make a sun and moon mobile.

5) Have the children pretend to be the animals in this poem: Sleep Time

6) Make this owl (Night):

7) Hot and Cold: Use the picture of a daytime bird (seagull) or nighttime bird (owl). Send one child into the hallway and have another child hide the picture in the classroom. Have the child return from the hallway and play hot or cold by having the children sing, "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" loud or soft depending on how close the searching child is to the hidden image. Discuss if that bird comes out in the daytime or the night.

8) Pretend: Have the children pretend to say their prayers at night then go to sleep. Crow like a rooster in the morning. have them pretend to say their prayers again, brush their teeth, and eat their breakfast.

9) Play a night and day matching game by printing these images twice. It might be easiest to tape them to 3x5 cards. Turn the cards face down and have the children take turns turning them over. Six or seven cards total are about the limit of what this age group can handle.
