Coloring Activity

Pack It up! Color a page about Grandma’s moving day.

Give a coloring page to each child. Give crayons, colored pencils, or washable markers to the children to share. Lead a discussion using the questions below as children color.

1.    What were Chris, Joy and Gizmo doing at Chris’s grandma’s house? Helping her pack and move from her house after her husband, Chris’s grandfather, recently passed away.

2.   What was the reason Chris’s grandma said she was looking forward to moving? She was moving near Chris and could see him every day.

3.   Do you remember what is about to happen in the picture you are coloring? Gizmo begins to teeter, the plant is about to fall, and Joy will catch it.

4.   What happens to Gizmo after he maneuvers into a tight spot to place the boxes he is carrying? He gets closed in by the boxes and can’t get out.

5.   What did Chris’s grandma tell him was the reason that his grandpa was able to be successful and accomplish so much? Prayer.

6.   Do you know a person who prays that you look up to? Children answer.

Conclusion: Chris’s grandparents’ house was filled with the prayers and love that they shared together. Time spent with God cannot be matched by anything in this world.
