<h3>Click image above to download the trail.</h3>
<p>This trail was created for Father&#8217;s Day but can also be used for general Superhero Camps too.</p>
<p>If it is being used on Father&#8217;s Day, encourage dads to take on the challenge with their trusty sidekick—every superhero has one! You can open it up to everyone in the church or local community to participate, so no one feels left out; the trail does not specifically mention being a father.</p>
<p>If you are running the trail at a BBQ or as part of a church event, consider giving a small prize such as a little bag of Cadbury Heroes to those who complete the challenge and provide you with the correct secret message.</p>

<p>Below you will see a range of printable Father&#8217;s Day pictures that you can use with your children and allow them to give as a gift to their Dad. We have 3 options which specifically mention &#8220;Dad&#8221; or &#8220;Daddy&#8221; &#8211; the footprint, the weight lifting and the tractor. The pdf has one page as the example so you only need to print page 2 that is ready for your children&#8217;s personal touch,</p>
<p>The tie can be used for grandfathers, uncles or all men in the church who are leaders/father figures to the children &#8211; print the tie double sided to get the Bible verse on the back, cut it out then ask the children to write the best things about the recipient, use the outline to draw a picture of them. Then punch two holes at the top of the tie and attach elastic so that the recipient can wear their tie with pride!</p>

<h3><strong>Download by clicking <a href="https://cfm.ireland.anglican.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Pots-of-Encouragement-1.pdf">HERE</a></strong></h3>
<p>This is a super easy and simple activity for children young and old to give as a gift to those who help them to grow be it physically or spiritually or both!<br />
They can be used for Mothers day or as gifts for any day. All you need are some clean jam jars with labels removed &#8211; or any jar / pot you choose.<br />
Print the labels and Bible verses. Children can write their names on the labels and draw pictures if they choose. Glue the label to the front of the pot.<br />
Cut out the bible verses, children can then roll or fold them and place into the jar.</p>
<p>You might choose to add small amounts of table confetti into the pot &#8211; such as little hearts or if your pots are large you could put some wrapped sweets for the recipient at<br />
the bottom and the verses on top. Children can decorate the pots / jars with stickers etc. You might also choose to tie some ribbon around the pot for an extra special touch.</p>
