(In honor of the lectionary readings this week.)I appreciate the difficulty of rearing children in the faith. I appreciate a nice rainy day activity with fun food and a story.
(Except there's no cannibalism in the Exodus story, people! And drown those Jelly Beans first!)
But, please.
Found here....
- Red Jello (Red Sea)
- Jelly babies or Jelly beans (Moses or you could use them for Pharaoh's army)
- Rectangle tin/container
- Spoons
Make the Jello in a rectangle container.
Then give each child a Jelly bean.
They each get a spoon and take turns eating their way through the middle to the other side.
At the end they can eat the Jelly beans.
(Except there's no cannibalism in the Exodus story, people! And drown those Jelly Beans first!)
6 the midrash:
I'll stick to watching "The 10 Commandments", thank-you!
I think there was a Fifth Columnist involved in the creation of this snack/game, I.C.
The original contributor's name was "Ali." Probably one of Ishmael's offspring.
Maybe the jelly bean could be the milk and honey? You could always use Lego men for Pharaoh's army.
Check that. Manna. The jelly bean can be manna. That would use up those coconut ones you can never get rid of.
It ain't the passover seder, is it?
I suppose which beverage you'd choose to drown the beans in would determine how kid-friendly this Bible lesson would be. . .
