Our church had Vacation Bible school this week and both the kids got to attend and I decided to teach this year! I guess, decided would be one word, coerced, begged would be two other words :) The theme was Marketplace 2008 and we were taken back to the time when Jesus lived and learned all about the Jewish traditions. The children started out with their tribe in the morning learning the lesson and doing morning rituals. I taught Mini Market which were the itty bitty kids, 2,3, and 4 year olds (37 of them) so the lesson was a little shaky sometimes. We joked we should have called our tribe, "Sit on your bottom, please."
After lesson, the kids went to Market and did lots of neat crafts (trades) that were done in Jesus time. Well, the little ones colored but both kids made bowls and necklaces with clay and everyday they made bread. They also hammered tin, made crosses and leather bracelets.
Amelia in her tribal costume. She was in the tribe of Benjamin. The kids had money pouches and got to spend their money in the marketplace. Before the kids went to chapel (synagogue), they all had to wear head coverings. This was the cutest thing ever.
Morgan and Luke all ready for synagogue! They look like they are betrothed. I loved Luke's yamaka, he must have too because he actually kept it on.
