Health Specialist Award
This award is best done in multiple sittings, so that your child doesn't get tired with it. Aim to get done 2 or 3 steps in sitting. See pp. 16 and 17 of the Busy Bee Activity Book and complete all the steps. Below are some helps and suggested schedule.
Step 1: Do this activity to help you learn 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20. Use a dry erase board and pen. Write each word of the verse down on the dry erase board. Point to each word and say it. Then, each time you point and say, erase a word and replace it with a blank. By the end, you should have all blanks and no words. Here is an online version of the activity, called Scripture Mastery Help.
