Independence Day Craft Ideas for Kindergarten (cont.)
3. Liberty Bell Independence Day Craft
Here is a 4th of July craft for celebrating our freedom in Christ.
You’ll need:
- red and blue construction paper
- red, blue, and silver star stickers
- markers
- scissors
Introduction:
Say: America has a bell called the Liberty Bell. Have any of you seen pictures of it or seen the real bell? It’s a symbol of the freedoms we have. The bell is engraved with a Bible verse. “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof” (Leviticus 25:10).
Ask:
- What do you think that verse means?
Read aloud Luke 4:14-19.
Ask:
- How did Jesus help people be free?
- What does Jesus offer us freedom from?
- How can we help others know about the freedom Jesus gives?
Say: Let’s create a liberty bell greeting. You can give it to someone you know who needs to hear about the freedom Jesus offers.
Directions:
Hand out craft materials. Have children draw a bell, or provide simple patterns to trace. Then have children cut out their bell shapes and decorate them with markers and stickers. Next, instruct children to write a simple greeting to someone they know who is sad or lonely or needs encouragement.
Say: When you give this message to your friend, tell him or her about Jesus. Share what it means to be free from sin.
Close with a prayer for the people who will be receiving the bell cards.
