4. Dad Awards
Have children each make an award for their father or another significant man in their lives. Provide a wide roll of satin ribbon, glitter glue, and safety pins. Have children each think of a characteristic they like in their father or another man they look up to. Then have them create an award featuring that characteristic. For example, a child might choose the Best Sense of Humor award or the Best Listening Ear award. Have children use the glitter glue to write that award on their ribbon. Encourage children to present these awards after class.

5. Food for Thought
You’ll need:
- gingerbread man cookie cutters
- sandwich bread
- blunt knives
- peanut butter
- cream cheese
- raisins
- nuts
- chocolate chips
- decorator sprinkles
- cups
- milk
Have children use the cookie cutters to cut out man shapes from the bread. Encourage children to use the spreads and toppings to decorate their “fathers.”
Serve with milk or fruit juice. As children eat, have them describe the characteristics of a great father.
