Emotions Color Wheel An Art Therapy Directive www.creativitymattersllc.com Description: This activity is good to break the ice with any client. It is also an easy “check-in” to find out how the client is feeling and the issues he/she is dealing with at this time in his/her life. After creating a pie chart with 8 sections, the client gets to choose 8 emotions and then color in the pie pieces. Materials: Colored Pencils or Markers and a White Piece of Paper. Instructions: First – Start with a piece of white paper and draw a circle filling the page. Second – Draw a line straight down the center of the circle, then draw a line down the center, criss-crossing the first line. Follow this by halving the other pies and again until you have 8 pies. Third – Ask the client, “What are 8 emotions that you would like to put in each pie on the wheel?” Then, as the client mentions the emotions place the word above the pie (on the outside). (The client may need some assistance with coming up with 8 emotions. Give assistance but be careful to not choose for the client.) Fourth – Ask the client to now fill in each pie with a corresponding color or picture that matches his/her idea of what the emotion means to him/her. Fifth – When the client is finished coloring have him/her explain what had him/her choose the color or explain what the picture means. Sixth – Ask the client to share where in his/her life he/she is experiencing that emotion/feeling. Dialogue about it as the client feels comfortable. Outcome: This exercise is designed to have your client open up and feel more comfortable expressing his/her emotions/feelings, and establishing rapport/trust with you! Questions to Ask Client: 1) Could you tell me about your Emotions Color Wheel? 2) What had you choose that color/design for that emotion? 3) Where else in your life do you experience that emotion/feeling? Note: Use affirmative statements with the client. Always acknowledge the client's positive qualities and work with the client to notice their own ability to create beauty/something of importance/value.

This is a simple match up game for preschoolers. But, I talk about Jesus and the Bible tells us that He is the good shepherd. John 10:11-16 While my granddaughter is matching the sheep, I talk about shepherds in the Bible and their jobs. They take care of the sheep, no matter what. They watch over them, feed them, make sure they have food and a place to sleep. And, the shepherd loves his sheep, just like Jesus loves us. Also, I let the kids play with the shepherd's staff and the lambs/sheep so they could take care of their sheep like the shepherds. If you have play sheep, you can hide them and let the kids find them, like the shepherd would do. You can see in the picture above, I printed this on white cardstock, and we added grass and flowers, butterflies, insects and bird stickers, which she loved! You can easily make the shepherd's head gear. I cut a piece of fleece (or other fabric that won't fray) into a 30x30 square. I purchased this rope and cut it into a 36" piece and put tape around the ends so it wouldn't unravel. I couldn't get a picture of this being used, but lay the fabric on their head, with the front across the forehead. Use the rope around the forehead, on top of the band of fabric and tie at the back of the head. Here it all matched up! I will also use this for David the shepherd and talk about how he did what God wanted him to. You can print this here. Click here to print in Spanish. I also use these cards with my granddaughter. They are numbers 1-10 with the correct number of sheep on each card. They can be used for learning numbers and putting them in the correct order and for counting the sheep on the cards. Print them here. Click here to print in Spanish. And, here are the sheep without writing to cut and hide for the kids to find! My granddaughter loves this! And, you can count while they find them and practice counting, addition and subtracting! I love it when you can teach using learning as a game and teach Bible at the same time! You can print the plain (no writing) sheep here. This is a matching poster, but I used the same picture as a picture to color so everything works together. You can print these options here: Color B/W Spanish Color B/W You can find more ideas about the Lost Sheep Parable here.

St. Gerard is the patron saint of mothers, expectant mothers, and unborn children. He is a powerful saint to ask for intercession when you are trying to conceive a baby. Using a nine bead chaplet, here are three different prayers to ask for this St. Gerard's intercession. Prayer for One Desiring Parenthood: Introductory prayer:O good St. Gerard, powerful intercessor before the throne of God, wonder-worker of our day, I call upon you and seek your help. While on earth, you always fulfilled God's designs; help me to always do God's holy will. Beseech the Master of life, from whom all parenthood proceeds, to bless me with offspring, that I may raise up children to God in this life and heirs to the kingdom of God's glory in the life to come. Amen. Then, on each set of three beads, pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be. Prayer for the Expectant Mother: Introductory prayer:O almighty and everlasting God, through the Holy Spirit, you prepared the body and soul of the glorious virgin Mary to be a worthy dwelling place of your divine Son. through the same Holy Spirit, you sanctified St. John the Baptist, while still in his mother's womb. Hear the prayers of your humble servant who implores you, through the intercession of St. Gerard, to protect me amid the dangers of childbearing and to watch over the child with which you blessed me. May this child be cleansed by the saving water of baptism and, after a Christian life on earth, may we, both mother and child, attain everlasting bliss in heaven. Amen. Then, on each set of three beads, pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be. Prayer for a Special Intention: Introductory Prayer:St. Gerard, during your life you extended your help to the unfortunate and poor around you. Help me in my present need (mention your intention here). Give me the insight to recognise the presence of Jesus in the sufferings and troubles of others. Let not my urgent need for help cause me to think only of myself. Following your example, uniting my prayers and sufferings with Jesus on the cross, may I be transformed into a person of love and compassion. St. Gerard, pray for me. Amen. Then, on each set of three beads, pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be. Each of these prayers can be prayed with a nine bead St. Gerard chaplet. They are available to purchase in the Marian Graces store, either in silver or bronze. The above prayer instructions are included with each chaplet. Recommended Products: You may also like:
