At the top of each child's paper write SILLY or SERIOUS. I added a cross that reads "for God". This could be a sticker or just drawn in marker. Have the children go through magazines cutting out eyes, noses and mouths and gluing them on their paper on the appropriate side; SILLY or SERIOUS. No wrong answers, let them determine which face they believe it is.

Talk with them as they cut and glue about times during their days when they can be silly for God (dancing, singing, worshipping, comedians, playtime) and times to be serious for God (tithing, prayer, Bible reading, helping others).



Remind them however they act SILLY or SERIOUS, as long as it is honoring to God - it is okay! When we smile, God does too. Enjoy!
