Bible Plays as a Family

Just one hour ago, our family had so much fun, it was a delight!

At Monica's recommendation, we bought a book of Bible skits to act out during family times. We hadn't actually used it yet, but today Kardelen requested it. We took it out and decided that we'd like to reenact the story of Adam and Eve. It worked well since there were four characters (Adam, Eve, God, and the snake), and there are four of us.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it! And at the same time, God's Word was being brought to life for our girls. I have no doubt they'll remember the story much better now. And such happy family memories along the way!

We all chuckled when the snake (Sofia) was determined to repeat God's lines after him (Kardelen), and when God kicked Adam & Eve (Jacob & I) out of the garden at the end of the play. She literally (gently) KICKED us out! (I think she's still learning about figurative language.) :)

To illustrate my point--Kardelen just came out of her room asking, "Mom, I wanna do the Noah one now!" I promised we' d do it this afternoon. I can just imagine all the pairs of stuffed animals in our porta-crib "ark" now. :)


Below: "God" and "the snake" discuss the fruit on the "tree" after the play is over. Actually, "God" is pretending the bananas are alligators eating up the orange, and then noting that there weren't really alligators in the story.
