Efficiency
“Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity…” – Ephesians 5:15-16
Definition: The state of being able to achieve maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or expense.
Children’s Definition: Working Smart
Reason Chosen: Efficiency makes the world work better. It’s important to teach kids that God has entrusted us with a lot and that we need to be good stewards of our time, resource and efforts. Learning to efficient is important in helping our kids be more effective in all areas of life.
Word Ring At the beginning of each week, the craft will be exactly the same because we will simply be adding a new word to our already established word ring.
Materials Needed
* Stock Card Paper (I had a whole stack like this – found at any craft store)
* Assorted Sticker Letters (I just bought a bunch on clearance at Michael’s)
* Binder Clips (Craft Store)* Paper Cutter or Scissors* Hole Punch The girls chose a paper style they thought would look good with the letters they chose. We then helped them sound out “efficiency.” They took turns finding the letters we needed and sticking them on the paper…they’re kids – the letters will not be stuck on perfect. I then cut the paper to the same size as the paper from last week. We punched a hole in the corner and stuck it on our binding clip. Each week, a new word will be added to the clip in similar fashion. I then wrote the Bible verse on the back. If your kids are older, have them do it themselves. We’ll spend this week learning the word, meaning and memorizing the scripture.
