Objects might include paper clips, buttons, toy cars, bottle caps, small plastic animals, bits of tree bark, marbles, etc. Discuss what works and what doesn't as the children experiment with magnetism. Optional: "Is it Magnetic" Worksheet |
| Matching Pairs Provide an assortment of pictures of various objects such as farm animals, household items, etc. Provide another set of the same pictures for the children to make matches. Alternately, provide the same set of BOTH pictures and place them all face down on a table. Show the children how to play a memory game by randomly peeking underneath each picture until they find all the matching pairs.! |
| Magnetic Art Put several Magna-Doodle toys, Woolie Willie toys, or similar toys that use iron shavings and a magnetic "pen." Encourage the children to try to write the number 2 with the magnetic pen, then try creating their own pictures. |
| Bible Verse Bracelets: Proverbs 18:24(b): "...there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." (NIV) Ask the children if they can think of one Friend who sticks closer than any brother, sister, or best friend....?

| Magnetic Cooperative Painting Prepare one long table by taping down a long continuous sheet of butcher paper or paper table covering. Gear up the children in paint shirts, and place big dollops of various colors of paint at random points over the paper. Let the children choose from a selection of small metal objects, such as nuts and bolts, washers, paper clips, etc. and instruct them to place the objects wherever they wish on the paper. Choose some of the children to be "painters" and hand them magnets powerful enough to move the objects through the table. Let these children go under the table and move the magnets around to begin the "painting" process. Encourage the other children to help the "painters" move their "brushes" in the correct spots, and give feedback about how the painting is developing. After a while, let the children switch places to allow everyone to experience both sides of the table. Display your masterpiece on the wall when it's dry! |
| Additional Activity: If you live near a power plant, consider arranging a tour for the children to demonstrate how magnets are involved in creating the electricity that powers our schools, churches, and homes. |
