So this week's Bible-story-action was David and Goliath. We had a shield (thanks to last year's Family Camp) and 2 swords.
Let me share with you the perfect sword:
Yes, it's a pool noodle. We had 2 in the garage, and it's (almost) impossible to hurt someone with it. We really went for it when the Philistines were battling with Israel.
This story was just plain fun...we actually did it twice. The boys alternated roles: King Saul or David. Nothing dramatic like last week but fun nonetheless. And they really love the idea of roles, costumes, etc. We just grab whatever is in our garage or basement and go for it. I'm learning again for about the 100th time that the kids just like it when they know a) that mom is going to be totally engaged in the play too! and b) they know what's coming (yay for schedules) so they can look forward to doing it each week.

I've got a tigger & pooh bear if that fits into any of your role playing... Maybe Tigger for Daniel in the Lion's den. Or perhaps to represent some animals (tiger & bear) getting on the ark with Noah. Fun times!!
