Description of Activity
Children make bookmarks or posters with tips for conserving energy. This will help them remember the energy saving ideas they "stood up for" in Activity 3 and enable them to share the ideas with friends and family.
Tell the group that they can create a bookmark or poster with some (or all) of the energy-saving ideas from Activity 3. Have participants choose whether to write and illustrate one tip or create a list of ideas.
As writing ability varies, invite children to dictate their ideas to leaders.
Optional: Create a display of posters (and bookmarks) to share with the congregation at coffee hour.
