Guidelines

1. Briefing: Hand a paper bag to each child and explain that they are going on a "Creation Hunt" to find things made by God.

2. The Walk: Lead the children outdoors onto the church grounds. Give them 5–10 minutes to safely pick up natural items like unique leaves, fallen twigs, pebbles, or pinecones.

3. Sort and Categorize: Return to the classroom and clear a large table. Have the children sort their objects by type, color, or texture.

4. Discussion: Lead a conversation about how God designed each specific element (e.g., "Why are leaves soft?" or "Why are rocks strong?").

5. Closing: Have a quick prayer thanking God for creation, then allow the kids to take their bags of treasures home.
