PAPER CHAIN

(It is okay to ask an adult to help.) YOU WILL NEED: Paper-Plain white or construction paper Safety Scissors Pen or marker INSTRUCTIONS: CUT THE PAPER IN STRIPS LIKE THIS:

WRITE ONE NAME OF SOMEONE WHO CARE ABOUT YOU ON EACH STRIP. MAKE MORE STRIPS AS YOU NEED THEM MAKE A CIRCLE OUT OF ONE STRIP. TAPE OR STAPLE THE ENDS. LOOP THE NEXT STRIP THROUGH THE CIRCLE YOU MADE. MAKE A CIRCLE OUT OF IT AND STAPLE OR TAPE THE ENDS. REPEAT THIS WITH EACH NEW CIRCLE YOU MAKE UNTIL YOU HAVE A CHAIN OF THE NAMES OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT YOU. HANG YOUR CHAIN IN A PLACE WHERE IT WILL REMIND YOU OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT YOU.
