Place strips and remaining supplies on tables. Children fold a paper plate in half. They then color the plate and glue two googly eyes to the top of the folded plate. Have them write the Big Truth on a strip of red construction paper. Instruct them to open the plate and glue the strip as a tongue inside, with most of the tongue hanging out of the mouth. Have them roll the strip around a pencil to make it curl. Remind children of the importance of controlling their tongues.

Place copies and remaining supplies on tables. Have children color and cut out the bricks, then glue them to a piece of paper to form a shape of their choice (a house, a heart, etc.). Remind children that we want to be people who build others up with our words.

Place supplies on tables. Have children brainstorm a list of good things they can do with their mouths (use kind words, be honest, praise God, etc.), and a list of wrong things they can do with their mouths (use mean words, lie, etc.). Have them draw a happy face on one plate and an angry face on a second one. With red construction paper, children cut out two overly large tongues (to exaggerate the power of the tongue). On one tongue they write good things they can do with their mouths, and on the other they write some wrong things. Have them glue each tongue to its corresponding face, then glue the plates back-to-back to a craft stick so both faces are visible. Remind children of the importance of using our words wisely.
