Lion's Den Game

Instead of a craft this week, play a game. Give each child their mask they created last week. You are Daniel. They are the lions. When you are walking around the room, they chase you and roar. When you kneel down, everyone says “Shhhhhh” and they lay down on the floor. Have your assistant be the example lion in this group. They will copy her.

**** For a snack today, you could do big pretzels as they look like folding arms.
