Have you ever wanted to be a superhero like Batman or Dora the Explorer? Well, you can!

The Bible says that it’s not just adults who can do super awesome things for others—kids can too!

Here are just a handful of ways you can be a hero in your neighbourhood, family and church.

Help me find my superhero outfit!

“Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” —Philippians 2:4

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” —Proverbs 31:8

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.” —1 John 4:7

YOU WILL NEED:• 8-10 wooden sticks from ice blocks or a craft shop • masking tape• textas• a Bible verse

DIRECTIONS1. TAPE TOGETHER THE STICKS

Line up all sticks lengthwise so no gaps show between, and put two strips of

masking tape across them.

2. ADD A BIBLE VERSE

Flip over the cluster of sticks and use a dark-coloured texta to write the name of a Bible verse across some of the sticks. Choose a verse about kindness below or

read the Bible to find different verses!

3. ADD YOUR ART

Use brightly coloured textas to draw a colourful picture in the rest of the space on the sticks. Make sure every stick gets some

colour on it.

4. MIX UP THE PUZZLE

Flip over the cluster of sticks and remove the tape. Turn the sticks back over and shuffle them. Now try to put your puzzle back together!

Heroes always show kindness to others,

starting with our friends and family. Have fun

Praying is a great way to help others, like children

who live in poverty around the world. This week,

say a prayer each day for children who are in need

of food, school books, medicine or clean water.
