| Using the activity below, make extra snacks for the children to eat during snack time. | |||
| Supplies needed: | Prep: Assemble items that you have in one area. Divide children into groups of 4-5. Take one group at a time, while keeping other children busy with other activities. How to Play: Tell children that you are going to all pretend that you are daddies. You are going to do all the nice things that daddy do. Give them each a bear or a doll. Take them through each any or all of the following activities, reinforcing the concepts that our dads do a lot of things to show us love: Working hard and bringing home money, shopping for groceries, helping child get dressed, feeding child, building things for the family, mowing the grass, planting a garden, taking the family for trips in the car, etc. Then show them how to act out the child (doll or bear) telling the father "Thank you, Dad!" and "I love you, Dad!". | ||

| God gave me a super dad! I'm so very blessed! | Point up, then to yourself. | ||
| Dad, please slow down a little, my legs aren't as long. | Point to legs. | ||

| I thank the Lord that I have such a great dad! | Place hands together in prayer. | ||
| You teach me, and protect me, watch over me too! | Place hand above brow as if looking out. | ||

Activity: Let them take turns dumping the snacks in the large bowl, and then take turns stirring the mix. You may also want to let them help you scoop the snack into their coffee can craft that they will be giving to their dads. See Craft page for supplies and instructions.
