Spring Teacher Appreciation

April 8, 2016 | Kids Ministry

JeffThere’s never really a bad time to show your volunteers that you appreciate them. With all of the new life that comes around during the Spring season, it just seems like a perfect time to tell your volunteers what they mean to you! Here are a few ideas.

UR ReMARKable

Remarkable

Supplies:

  • Multicolored dry-erase markers
  • Colored sheets of felt
  • Glue gun
  • Mason jar (optional)
  • Labels 

Directions:

  • Cut a 12-inch long strip of felt about ¾-inch wide. It doesn’t matter if it is perfectly straight. (In fact, it’s better if it isn’t!)
  • Roll the felt into the shape of a flower, gluing it into place along the way.
  • Glue the flower head to the bottom of the marker.
  • Place several flowers in a mason jar and give a bouquet of markers. The felt acts as an eraser, so this makes a great gift for volunteers to use in their Bible study rooms!

JELLY – Jesus really loves you!

Jelly

Supplies:

  • Jelly beans
  • Cellophane bags (ziplock bags work, as well!)
  • Stapler
  • Labels 

Directions:

  • Fill bags with jelly beans.
  • Fold top of bag over to seal.
  • Attach a label with a stapler. Write a short note on each label and tell each volunteer something you love about her.

“GRAPE”ful

Grapeful

Supplies:

  • Grape flavored Ice Cubes gum
  • Cellophane bags
  • Ribbon
  • Labels

Directions:

  • Place 5-10 pieces of gum in each cellophane bag. I found bags of 100 pieces at Wal-Mart in the candy section.
  • Tie bags with ribbon.
  • Write a note to each volunteer telling him why you are “grape”ful for him on individual labels. Attach labels to the ribbon with a stapler or by punching a hole through the ribbon.
