A bit of interesting fun, but also educational.  (Heaven forbid that we can't justify every little thing we do!)  I'll be making several other Father's Day cards this week in the hopes that you can give your kiddos more than one option, as not all dads golf etc. 

You could make up 2 to 3 examples and ask them what they want to do, then run off the appropriate number of each "craftivity".    If you're lucky enough to be out of school, you can hopefully file these away for next year.

List their ideas on the board as you review spelling.  When students have completed their final draft they write it inside their golf ball card

Run off the golf ball and inside circles on white construction paper or card stock.  Run the tees and pennants off on a variety of colors of construction paper.  Students choose, trim and assemble them to make their Father's Day card.

Adding a student's photo makes things extra special.

Glue the ball card to the top of your tee.  You don't really need the pennant, but I thought it added extra pizzazz and fit right in with the golf theme.  I glued the flag at a diagonal slant to the back of the ball.

Likewise, you don't need the grass, but I thought the 3D effect gave it that finishing touch.  Simply fold a small piece of green construction paper in half. 

Have students make cuts at the top, being careful not to slice all the way through; crumple the edges and then glue the tip of the tee inside.
