Children engrave pictures of themselves onto foil 
to make precious coins.
Ask:
How important was the coin to that woman? How can we tell?

How important are we to Jesus? How can we tell?

If Jesus were in the room with us right now, what might he 
say to each one of us to let us know that we’re important?

Invite the children to make coins showing themselves
as important to Jesus. 

Directions to the children:

Use a pencil and plate to trace a large circle
onto a sheet of cardboard.
Cut out the circle.
Cover the circle in foil.
On one side of the coin, use a tool to engrave
a picture of yourself. (Show the children how to
press a tool onto foil-covered cardboard to make lines.)
Now imagine words that Jesus says to you,
words that say how important you are. Engrave
these words on the other side of the coin.
