This interactive thought would be fun too. Color, laminate with contact paper or very thin laminate, fold, cut out the pieces and let the child, assigned the thought, pass it around to each family member, who then reads the card they choose out-loud.

Activity: Make a Sunday CAN DO Can of ideas
“Funstuf,” Friend, Jun 1999, 23, 35
My Children are always asking me, “What CAN I do on Sunday?” So we did this activity and made a can with Popsicle sticks instead of paper so they didn’t get lost as easy with things written on them that they can do. When presented with the question again, I would hand them the can and they would choose a stick and do what what was on it. Have everyone present an idea of what can be done on Sunday until the can is full of ideas.

This Finger Game is a cute activity and it is short. Very Good for Small Children.
Treat: Don’t break the Sabbath sun pinatas. For instructions, click here. Fill with ideas to keep the Sabbath, or small crafts for the Sunday box, and of course candy. If a pinata is too much, you could fill balloons with small candy’s blow them up and put them on a stick, with a tag that says, “You don’t have to break the Sabbath to have fun on Sunday’s. ” You could include ideas for the Sunday Can in the balloons as well. When the children want to get their candy out they just hit the balloon hard against a wall and the candy will fall out.
