Reply to "Widow's Mite Ideas"

Widow's Coin Comparison Art Projects

Ideas for hallway display for stewardship time:

 

Display Idea 1.   Which is the bigger gift?
Two life size cut-out figures each carrying a "clear" bag of money and EACH reaching a coin into an offering plate.  The widow's bag has no coins in it. The other's clear bag is full of coins (but she is only putting one coin in the plate). 

To make the two people: Have two kids lie down on cardboard, trace, and cut out. Then "dress" with cloth/clothing pinned to the cardboard. 

Scripture: The Mite 

Display Idea 2.  Which Giver is More Pleasing to God?
Kids cut-out and design two very large yellow "smiley faces."

One is smiling, the other is frowning.

Both have an arm extended over an offering plate and holding a $100 bill.

Scripture: cheerful giver 

Display Idea 3.  What's the Right Way to Give?
Kids cut-out two givers on cardboard and dress (see notes above)

One giver is holding up a glittering wad of cash, and cash is coming out of their pockets.

The other giver is quietly giving a bulging envelope (can't see the cash inside) to a small figure at their side, while looking the other direction (giving in quiet).

Scripture: giving in secret


In Rotation, you could assign one display to 3 different Art Workshop classes, so that at the end of the Rotation you had 3 different displays.
