Art Activity
I cut out an oval shape for a face. The boys followed my direction by making eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows, hair. They made 'Saul'. Then, they dipped their finger in oil an anointed their 'Saul'.
Letter Activity
I placed the letter 'J' in masking tape on the rug. The boys placed blocks on the letter, each time saying 'J' as they placed a block.
Bible Activity
We acted out the Bible story of Samuel anointing Saul. We took turns being Samuel and Saul.
-Saul kneels in front of Samuel.
-Samuel: “The Lord God had chosen you to be king of Israel.”
(“Samuel” pretends to pour oil over “Saul's” head)
-Samuel: “This oil shows everyone you are God's chosen king, and you will answer to God.”
('Samuel' anointing 'Saul')
