Gather several tools that a dad would have or use. If you can find a tool belt or tool box to put the tools in, that would be even better. Label each tool (strip of paper taped on the tool) with attributes of a father, such as, helpful, good listener, good example, kind, hard worker, fun to play with, homework-helper, great chef. Feel free to use your own ideas. Have the children choose a tool and read the attribute. Sing a Father's Day song or choose songs you want to review. After singing the song, ask the children if there was an attribute in the song that a dad could have.
Examples:
I Can Be Valiant -- Dads are valiant, they serve others, etc.
I Am a Child of God -- Dads help us find our way back to Heavenly Father
When Grandpa Comes -- Grandpas are kind and say kind things, they brighten our day
After each song choose another tool. If time permits, have the children tell how their father has that attribute.
