Craft, Game, and Object Lesson: God Makes Samson Strong
Craft:
I created an Outline of a plain paper doll with no gender, and then made copies on card stock so that when it is cut out, the kids can make it stand up. The idea is that they get to draw Samson on the plain outline and then glue on his very long hair, as a before his hair was cut and he was still very strong figure.
I did not have any brown yarn, so Samson gets to be blonde!
They cut it out, glue on the long hair and then use it to play out the scenes from the story.
Object Lesson:
In my Sunday Class we always do a snack because the children have been in Sunday School and when they get to my class they need a break and a refresher. Well for this particular lesson, our snack gets to be a part of the story!
Because in the Bible story Samson uses some honey from a bee hive and shares it with his Parents. We are using two loaves of bread and a cup of honey so that the kids can taste exactly what Samson tasted.
You could also just simply use a gram cracker or a pretzel stick dipped in honey, or just have them taste honey and guess what it is.
Games:
- "Samson" Says:
Instead of Simon Says, and you can use things from the story to play "Samson says to eat honey", "Samson says to pretend to be angry", and so on. You can add in Simon says classics as well if you need to make the game longer.
-"Bee Hive" Walking Tag:
This is like tag except a lot safer. In the center of the room, place a yellow cloth (sheet, towel, or shirt if you need to be creative) or a Drawn out actual Bee Hive if you have time and materials to do so. Then, Have all the children WALK around the room "buzzing and flying" like Bees while you, or an adult helper, acts as the "Bee Keeper". When you tag them, they have to go to the Bee Hive in the center of the room and sit and wait until everyone has bee tagged and sent back.
