2. **Introducing the World**: Show the inflatable globe or beach ball. Explain that it represents the whole world and all the people in it. Mention that on the Last Great Day, everyone will get a chance to know about God’s love and joy.

3. **New Life & Joy**: Introduce the colorful paper flowers and the basket.

Craft Idea

Craft Idea: “Last Great Day Celebration Lanterns”

Objective: To help children understand the significance of the Last Great Day by creating lanterns that represent light, hope, and the promise of God’s eternal plan.

Supply List:
1. Paper lantern templates (cardstock or heavy paper)
2. Markers or crayons
3. Scissors
4. Glue or tape
5. Battery-operated tealight candles (optional for safety)
6. Decorative items (stickers, glitter, washi tape)
7. String or ribbon for hanging (optional)

Instructions:
1. Begin by gathering the children and briefly discussing the concept of the Last Great Day. Explain that it symbolizes hope, the promise of restoration, and God’s eternal light.

2. Provide each child with a paper lantern template. You can create a simple design that can be folded into a lantern shape. Alternatively, you could allow them to draw their own lantern shape if they enjoy being creative.

3. Instruct the children to decorate their lanterns with markers, crayons, or any decorative items you’ve provided. Encourage them to write words that represent their feelings about the Last Great Day, such as “Hope,” “Joy,” “Eternal Life,” or verses from scripture that resonate with the theme.

4. Once the decorations are complete, help the children cut out any designated sections of the lantern template (if applicable) and fold the lantern into shape. Use glue or tape to secure it in place.

5. If you have battery-operated tealight candles, place one inside each lantern. Explain that the light inside represents God’s presence and the everlasting hope that believers have through Christ.

6. Allow the children to share their lanterns with one another, explaining what they wrote or decorated and what it means to them.

7. As a concluding activity, consider having a small “lantern parade” in your meeting area, where each child can hold their lantern and walk together, symbolizing walking in the light of God’s promises.

8. Optionally, you can encourage the children to take their lanterns home and share the message of the Last Great Day with their families, lighting a tealight candle in the lantern as they talk about hope and God’s love.

This activity is a fun, hands-on way for the children to create something meaningful while learning about the significance of the Last Great Day.
