Make a Missionary Wheel

Being a missionary isn’t about going far away. It’s about listening to God and loving others wherever we are. This wheel will help you see all the ways you can be a missionary right now!

Things You’ll Need

• Two sheets of construction paper
• Scissors
• Brass fastener (paper brad) or thumbtack
• Ruler or other straight edge
• Crayons or markers
• One salad plate
• One teacup saucer
• Stickers (optional)

1. Create the Mission Base

• On a sheet of paper, trace around a salad plate to create a large circle.
• Center a teacup saucer inside the big circle and trace to create a smaller circle.
• Divide the smaller circle into eight “pizza slices.”
• In each slice, draw or write a missionary idea. Here are some examples:
  • Share a Bible story with a friend.
  • Pray for someone.
  • Help at home.
  • Invite a new kid to play.
  • Say something kind.
  • Share a snack or toy.
  • Tell someone about God’s love.
  • Sing or play a song about Jesus.

2. Make the Wheel

• On a second sheet of paper, trace another salad plate circle and cut it out.
• Center a saucer inside the big circle and trace again.
• Divide the smaller circle into eight slices.
• Draw a small circle in the middle.
• Cut out one slice to make a window.
• Decorate the wheel to look like a chariot wheel.

3. Put It Together

• Stack the wheel on top of the base.
• Poke a hole through the center and fasten with a brass fastener or thumbtack.

4. Spin and Share

• Spin the chariot wheel to reveal an idea for showing God’s love.
• Every turn gives you a new way to be a missionary right where you are!
