Reverence Activity Sheet
Make a Wonder Web
Supplies:
One plain white 8.5 x 11 piece
of paper
Scissors
Light colored pencils
A regular pencil or pen
A wonder web is
cut, folded, and constructed the same way as a
“Cootie Catcher,” which many students commonly
know how to make. For those who may not, here
are instructions:
Fold the bottom
of the paper up to the side to create a
triangle.
Cut off the
excess paper above the triangle.
Open triangle.
You will have a square piece of paper with a
diagonal fold.
Fold the opposite
corners together, again making a triangle, so
that the square paper has 'X 'fold lines in
both directions.
Open square of
paper and lay flat.
Fold each corner
into the center of the square, creasing each
fold line.
Flip paper over.
Again fold
corners into the center diagonally, creasing
each fold line.
Color each (of 8)
triangles a different color. On each triangle,
write a word that makes you say
Wow.
Hold the folded
square up in front of you; fold it in half
vertically; open.
Hold square in
front of you again; fold in half horizontally;
open. The colors and words should be facing
you.
Open each flap
and again color triangles and on each triangle
write the name of something that makes you say
Wow. You can leave some blank
for things you notice in the future.
Close all the
flaps, Flip paper over, and color the squares.
Flip the paper
over again and fold the square in half again
both ways.
Make good strong
creases with all your folds so your web will be
very flexible when you put your fingers in and
move it.
Slide your thumb
and pointer fingers under the flaps.
Now, take turns
moving your fingers together and apart, rotating
from having your 2 pointers and 2 thumbs
touching to having the fingers of the same
hand touching. The rotating movement
resembles a flower opening and closing.
NOTE: If writing
instructions are unclear, search on-line for
“Cootie Catcher” for visual diagrams. |
