Light-up art projects for Isaiah passages

1. FLASHLIGHT TAKE-HOME ISAIAH ART PROJECT

Packages of inexpensive flashlights can be found on sale in stores or online. The larger plastic ones can be decorated with jewel stickers and permanent markers (a good place to add Isaiah 9:2 verse: "On them has the light shined.")

After the students decorate their flashlights, you can go in a dark room and play some fun rounds of "find the object."  Have them turn off their flashlights while you toss out an object for them to find, such as a Bible. You can also have them see how fast they can turn on their lights and find a fellow student, or find your foot.

2. HALLWAY "VERSE LIGHT" DISPLAY PROJECT

Isaiah 9:2 "The people who have walked in darkness have seen a great light."

Have your older kids make this verse display in the hallway using lights.

Light Idea One:

Place several 'clamp lamps' on a tall stand or pole in your hallway pointing across the hallway at a bulletin board display made out of aluminum foil (so that the foil reflects the lights).  Paint on the foil using florescent paints so that the Bible verse and images of "people" (on whom the light is shining) really pop.

Light Idea Two:

Glue tin foil over a large piece of cardboard. Carefully poke small holes poked through the cardboard to spell out the words of this verse. To easily make holes, use a hammer to poke a Philips head screwdriver through the cardboard while it is supported over a small sturdy box.

Push Christmas lights through the holes to make a light-up verse sign. (Note: If you don't glue down the foil it will tear when you go to push lights through the holes in the cardboard.)

You may choose a shorter verse, such as "on them has the light shined."

Light Idea Three:

Use light idea #2 above but have the kids make their OWN take-home light display. Most families have spare strings of lights to either bring in ahead of time or finish at home.
