Hand Activities

MANY WAYS TO REMEMBER THE RECORD: MARK 3

1. MAKE COOKIES SHAPED LIKE HANDS. 2. MAKE HAND-SHAPED CARDS TO GIVE.

ACT IT OUT (First take a look in Matthew 12 as well as in Mark 3.) Save the event with pictures or video. Talk about the roles you played after the performance. Be sure to practice if you'll have an audience. Be ready to ask your audience about the record, and be ready for their comments as well.

MORE ACTIVITIES: DRAWING, PAINTING, & SEWING ACTIVITIES

A "Man with the Withered Hand" Activity can be as simple as tracing your hand on paper and writing Mark 2:5b: "...And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other."
You can make a more permanent version of the same activity by stitching an outline of your hand and the verse on cloth. Then put it in a frame or hoop to hang. (Remember to sign and date it.)
You can also use a tracing of your hand to decorate a T-shirt. The outline can be painted or stitched. ****** Ready to deal with MORE PAINT: Make hand prints right on the shirt with fabric paint.

IN THE MOOD FOR A BIGGER PROJECT? Design a hanging quilt. Include the hands of everybody in your family. Include the whole record in Mark 3, or use the record in Matthew 12.
