Always Wear Your invisible Crown!
(Because you can’t always wear a real one!)
You Will Need:
- A paper crown - either one you made yourself or a christmas cracker crown
- Things to decorate the crown, but you don't have to!
Good to Know:
- As Christians, we are children of God the Father - the Heavenly King.
- As children of the King, we should act like we are children of the King.
- This doesn’t mean we can boss people around!
- It does mean we should act like we are children of the King - like Jesus does.
Ponder:
What do you need to change so you can act more like a child of the King?
- Stop being bossy?
- Do things for others?
- Be kinder?
- Share more?
- Something else?
As you put your crown on, ask God what He would like you to do, or stop doing, to be more like Jesus.
Pray:
You can make up your own prayer, or use this one:
"Loving God and King.
Thankyou that you are King of my life.
Help me to act, think and speak like a child of a king should.
Help me to show the amazing King I love by the way I live.
Be with me today as I wear my 'invisible crown'.
Amen."
A note to those supporting children with this activity.
If you want a longer activity, you can decorate the crown. Whilst doing that, use the opportunity to discuss what a King or Queen does in serving the people in their country and tie that into the 'Pondering' section.
