Children's Ministry: Kids Sunday School Resource- Game piece

Copy and distribute the activity sheet

Review the cutting tips with the class before they begin cutting. And have everyone cut one section of the cube together with you to start.

Children - even older ones - tend to put their scissors to an activity and keep on cutting. Show them the right way to use scissors to cut inside corners using the Cutting Tips.

Note:
You can shrink the pattern on a copier for a smaller cube

1. Cut the cube on the heavy line You must cut into the corners so use the cutting trick on the printed page.
2. Fold down on all dashed lines (meaning the dashed line should show at the peak of the fold) (Hold it off the table in your hands)
3. Dab glue on the four glue tabs that are marked "under side 4" and "under side 5", spread glue to cover the tab all the way up to the dotted line.
4. If all the fold lines have been made, the box will almost form itself. Bring up sides 1 and 3 until the 4 tabs are in place. Hold for a moment to set the glue. Look in the box to be sure the tabs are up against the sides of the box.
5. Dab glue on the 3 remaining tabs, spreading all the way up to the dotted line.
6. Close up the cube tucking the 3 remaining tabs in the cube.

Pinch the edges (folds) so the inside glued tab sticks to the side of the cube.

if you can't wait for the glue to dry, put very small pieces of clear tape over seams. ( A seam is an edge where a glue tab was. It may open if the cube is used before it is dry)

The cube will close up just like the Old Testament or New Testament cube:
