How to Prepare





Community Builder

1 Have members to pair up to play one round of rock, paper scissors.

2 Tell members that the winner becomes the new leader and the loser become the winner’s “team” and roots for them for the remainder of the activity following them from match to match.

3

Tell members that when there is only two large groups standing, the two winners should face off for one final round of rock, paper scissor to determine the overall champion. Explain to members that the concentration and determination to be on the winning team is the same type of determination they should have when planning for their future through saving.

Steps to Follow

1 Say, “In this activity, we are going to create piggy banks to place our saved money in. You will be able to take your Banks home at the end of the summer.”

2

Tell members to spread newspapers on the table. Take off the lid and paint the can the desired color for your animal. Paint the 4 egg carton cups for the legs. Allow these to dry. For the sheep, you do not need to paint your can. Just smear glue on the can and add cotton balls.

3

Ask members to use a pencil, trace the lid two times on the foam sheet. One circle is for the head, and one is for the animal’s backside. Cut these two circles out. If members are making the pig, trace a smaller circle on the pink foam for the snout. Trace the bottom of the acrylic paint bottle. Cut this out. Snip off two small triangles for the pig’s ears. For the lion, cut two semicircles for the ears on the yellow foam sheet. For the sheep, cut long, skinny triangles for the ears.

4 Facilitator should hot glue the wiggly eyes and ears on one circle. For the pig, hot glue the smaller circle or snout below the eyes.

5

Make two dots on the snout of the pig using a marker. For the lion and sheep, draw the nose, mouth, freckles, and outline the ears. Then put Elmer’s glue around the edge of the lion’s face. Cut small pieces of yarn for the mane and stick on. Next, an adult can cut a

25

slit in the foam face and lid for the mouth. This is where the money can be put into the bank. Hot glue the face onto the lid by lining up the mouth holes.

6

Cut the pink pipe cleaner in half to use as a tail for the pig. Wrap it around a pencil to make a curl. Using scissors, cut a small slit in the middle of the foam circle. Insert part of the curly pipe cleaner and twist it to secure. The curly part should stick out for the piggy tail. For the lion’s tail, cut a slit in the middle of the foam circle. Insert a yellow pipe cleaner and bend it to look like a tail. For the sheep, glue on a cotton ball. Have an adult hot glue these circles to the bottom of the can. A parent can hot glue the legs to the bottom of the can. Now your bank animal is complete!

7 Place any coins that members have into their banks.
