Rooster Crafts
When Jesus told Peter that he would deny him three times before the rooster crowed, Peter didn't believe Jesus. After Jesus' arrest, that was exactly what happened. These three rooster projects can help you remember how easy it is to bear false witness, and how sad Peter was when Jesus' prediction came true.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Each rooster shadow picture requires two pieces of construction paper. Decide what colors to use for the rooster and the background. 1. Print desired pattern on chosen colored paper. 2a. The simple rooster pattern is designed especially for younger students. Fold the pattern in half (landscape). 2b. The more intricate pattern is for older students. The pattern should be folded in half (portrait). 3 Cut our rooster (do not cut on the fold line!) 3. Flatten the pattern and glue it onto the background paper. 4. Use craft scissors to cut out one of the printed verses and glue to background, or write "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times. Luke 22:61" with a marker or crayon on the background.
Put your shadow picture on your wall so it can remind you to think about the eighth commandment and the story of Peter's false witness of Jesus.
