God rested on the 7th day - Ideas

For one of our "Creation" lessons, we talked about how God rested on the 7th day. We decided he probably didn't stay in bed all day!

We talked about the things we do to recharge and had each child come up with a short list (eg listening to music, reading etc) and had the kids PANTOMIME things from their list (i.e. play charades)

We then paired up the children, gave them a clipboard and they surveyed the members as to how they "rested," using our list as a starting point and letting people choose from the list or add something different. We came back together and created a graph to show the different ways and what was most popular, took turns colouring in the graph blocks and put the results on display in the church hall where we all gather for morning tea.
