The stones of the pectoral

 

 

Material

• Egg card
• Painting (12 colors)
• Brushes
• Scissors
• Thick paper
• glue

 

Steps

1. Cut out the egg board to loosen each compartment.
2. Give each child one of the compartments.
3. Give each child a paint color and a brush.
4. When the children have finished painting their compartment, tell them to stick it on the thick paper.
5. Together, the children create the stones that were on Eli’s pectoral.

 

Optional

• Since there were only twelve stones on the pectoral, you can make several pectorals for each child to make a stone.
• You can tell the children that children who have painted their compartment of the same color are part of the same tribe.
• With their stones, you can make a game where children have to find the other members of their tribe (those with the same color of stone).
