| For Day 4 - (tomorrow) We are going to cut the Sad Faces out and apply "re-stick" to the back of them so that each rotation can use the same faces.
Hope this helps.

| | I made magnets instead of stickers. This may not work for everybody, but the materials were what I could get my hands on for my last-minute preparations. I picked up 4" x 6" sheets of magnets from Office Depot and cut 4 circles out of each sheet. I used an old scrap-booking circle cutter (the kind that has a blade that you spin around a center base; The other kind of circle cutter that punches out shapes, was too difficult to push on. It worked, but it hurt my fingers). I had some 2" round white stickers that I printed sad faces on and I stuck those to the side of the magnet that had paper backing on it. You could peel the backing off and stick paper faces to the adhesive side of the magnet, but my stickers were just slightly smaller than I could cut my magnets, so I thought they looked better on the side with the paper backing still attached. The eyes and mouth on my sad face were black, with little pink blushing cheeks and a light blue tear drop. I picked up 4 thin flat metal sheets (6" x 18") from the local hardware store. I used one metal sheet as the verticle section on each of the outer crosses and a piece of foam board for the horizontal section. Taped it together with packing tape and covered it with wood-grain contact paper that I already had. For Jesus' cross, I used 2 sheets of metal, crossed, because I needed more room for more sad faces on this cross. The metal did not go all the way to the bottom of the cross. I just demonstrated where the magnets would stick, before calling the kids to come up. We reused these magnets for each rotation. I had the kids pick one of the outer crosses to put their sad face on. When they came up to move their sad faces to Jesus' cross, it didn't matter which side they had put their sticker on, because this part of the lesson was about them wanting Jesus to forgive their sins. Then after they sat back down, I took a sad face magnet out of my pocket and put it onto the cross on the left and talked about how, unlike them, that criminal had not asked Jesus' to forgive his sins, so he was still stuck with his sins. But they were all like the criminal who had hung on the other cross, who realized that, unlike Jesus, he deserved to be punished; he asked Jesus to remember him, and Jesus took away the punishment for that man's sins, so that he could live forever with Jesus. My mom's church did the same program, and they just used that silly-putty-like sticky tack on the back of paper to stick up their sad faces. |

| | Regarding the crosses that you stick the stickers to, I thought it seemed kind of detached to tape the crosses to the wall, as if they were floating, so I taped them to the wall, positioned closer to the ground, and wadded up large sheets of newsprint (blank off-white paper) and bunched it together under the crosses, to look like the crosses were sitting on a hill. The wadded up paper gave the scene some demension. I taped the paper to the wall in a few spots. My hill didn't look like a skull, but it did give me something to point at, when I told the kids the name of the hill. |

| Reading this script, I was afraid this lesson would be something of a letdown after the cool ooblick the day before. Our crews don't assign roles to the kids like "Prayer Person" and "Materials Manager" etc, so I moved the stickers as part of my storytelling. I was amazed at the silence in the room as I did so. The only sound was the occaisional whisper of "that's my sticker!" I think they really got it! Regarding the issue of moving only the stickers on one cross, after I told them about the second thief who's sins were not taken away, I told them that Jesus would take all their sins if they asked, and then moved the stickers from that cross, too. The next day, I posted the three crosses in the Sanctuary where the Sing n Play happens.
