Yesterday we read through the story of 'David and Goliath' and then acted out a play of it for Dad when he got home.  It was fun!  Ethan acted David's part, Jaeden was a sheep and I was Goliath as well as the bear and lion.  We used a broom handle for the shepherd staff, a slingshot for the sling, and three small rolled up pieces of paper for the smooth stones.  Here's how our play went:

Act I, Scene I:  David is watching and tending his bleating sheep. (I had to convince Jaeden to bleat...)

    Enter bear.  David sees the bear and attacks and kills it with his bare hands.  David returns to sheep.

Act I, Scene II:  David is watching and tending his bleating sheep.

    Enter lion.  David sees the lion and attacks and kills it with his bare hands.  David return to sheep.

Act II, Scene I:  (I tried to convince Jaeden to be David's brothers but she didn't want any part of the play except for the sheep so we had to cut out details.)

Goliath is standing in front of Israel. (Jaeden)  "Who dares to fight me?"

David enters.  "God has helped me kill a bear and a lion.  Surely he will help me kill Goliath!"

David picks up 3 smooth stones from the floor, places one in the slingshot and fires.  Note:  Whether the 'stone' hits Goliath or not, Goliath falls to the floor as if he......er....she.......has been hit in the forehead.

END SCENE

Applause, applause.

Randy liked it anyways. :)
