Have the children make their own coat of many colors to act out the story of Joseph.
You will need:
Paper grocery bag for each child
Markers or paint and paintbrushes
Scissors
Turn the bags upside down and cut a hole in the bottom for the child’s head. Cut a line from that hole down the wider side of the bag all the way to the top to create the front opening. Cut two small holes in the sides for the child’s arm.
When the children are ready, give each of them a coat. Instruct them to decorate it however they want. The only rule is that it has to have “many colors.” When they are done, take turns acting out the story of Joseph using the coat as a prop – just don’t tear it when the brothers are selling Joseph into slavery!
