Divide class into two groups. Pass out paper plates,
yarn, scissors, markers, hole punch and a twisty balloon (for the sword). Ask
them to make the pieces of armor out of the paper plates, label them with
what they stand for and dress up one of their members and share some scenarios
of when they could use that armor. (Becky Whitaker)
If you have an activity with the Armor of God theme, you could print
invitations on parchment paper or something off-white. Use an Old England
font, at least for the title or first few words (can be hard to read, so
you might not want the whole thing to be in Old England). Roll them up
like scrolls, use a shiny or red seal to tape them shut. Start out with
"Hear ye, hear ye, Lords and Ladies . . ."
One night we talked about the Armor of God and instead of just talking about
what the armor of god means, we made our own armor of God. (out of tinfoil) We
choose one of the leaders to be our Knight and then one by one described each
piece of armor. After we did this we broke into small groups. Each group was
given an article of armor to make and put on our knight. We split for 10
minutes or so and everyone made their pieces and attached them to our leader.
Then we called on each group to come up and describe their item and how it can
protect us physically and spiritually. The kids had great answers that I would
have never come up with. They each learned a lot that way. Then afterwards we
took pictures (which are pretty funny) and I passed out bookmarks with a picture
of a knight with a description of each piece of armor so they could always
remember them. That was one activity our girls still talk about! (Idea by

I read
the scriptures in the bible that tells about the full armor of God and why each
is necessary. I then had the kids color a shield, helmet, breastplate, and a
sword that I drew at home and made copies of. They then wrote on the back of it
what each piece was (breastplate of righteousness, helmet of salvation, etc) and
its purpose. We then cut them out and stapled a piece of ribbon to the back of
each and tied it to a set of each to a hanger. (I used small flexible colored
kids’ hangers) This was really cute when we finished. I made one with them so
that we could hang it up in our room. Now they have a reminder on their walls,
that with Gods armor they will be ready for anything!! (Source:
