Now, don't get me wrong - I actually love the book of Judges and think it's chock-full of awesome characters. However, they are not all the best examples or stories for kids. Enter Samson! The kids had so much fun reading about the crazily strong man who was so strong because of God.
You can see our craft for the day on their heads - We made ourselves some long hair just like Samson, in the hopes it would make us tougher! I simply cut out long strips of paper and stapled them to fit their heads, then stapled a regular piece of construction paper to the strap and cut out strips so it resembled hair. Quick, easy, and on to the races!
We let our goofy sides out today and participated in some truly ridiculous "strong man" relays. We had contests for jumping jacks, sit-ups, push-ups, yoga poses, running, lifting, you name it. They loved it! Our relays worked like a tournament and each "place" earned you a certain amount of points.
