Help the children act out each day of the Creation while you remind them of what was created each day (see Genesis 1):
Day 1: Pretend to be asleep and then wake up, to indicate the night and day.
Day 2: Stand, look up, and spread arms wide to indicate the sky.
Day 3: Bend over to pick a flower and then smell the flower.
Day 4: Make a large circle with your arms for the sun and a smaller circle with your hands for the moon, and then wiggle your fingers while moving your arms to represent the twinkling stars.
Day 5: Pretend to be a bird flying around the room or a fish swimming in the sea.
Day 6: Pretend to be an animal. Walk around the room several times imitating that animal. Then stand in a line and each say, "My name is (child's own name). I am a child of God."
Have the children sit down quietly.
Tell the children that on the seventh day, Heavenly Father and Jesus rested. They called this day of rest the Sabbath.
