This is the accompanying images for the story of David’s Anointing. You can run it as a story, as an extra illustration or as a craft. Story post here.
Print out the PDF on paper or card stock. I’ve included 2 versions, one with the objects the brothers chose separately and another with them already included – you only need one set. Do not use photographic or coated paper.
You will also want the story provided to refer to and a tray of dark paint or something to pain with. Add to the printout of David a heart cut from sticky back plastic or clear tape, you can stick this over his heart or face or both. (I used clear parcel tape)
As you tell the story you use these images to illustrate it. Slowly bring out each image at the beginning of the story, allow the children to name the brothers if you wish. If you wish to use the official names they are Eliab, Abinadab, Shimea, Nethanel, Raddai, Ozem and we just don’t know the last one. …continue reading about David Anointed (1 Samuel 16) | Story/craft

King Xerxes (Esther 6) | Games
The hero in this story is the King Xerxes who honours Mordecai’s actions. These simple game ideas can be used, or any from the ‘Purim’ set which includes Esther and Mordecai.
Spin the crown – The child must spin the crown on it’s narrow edge, complete a given task, and retrieve the crown before it falls. Use any size hoop for the crown and set the task as far away as possible. Tasks could be a simple running course, putting on clothing, moving objects from place to place or solving a simple puzzle.
Just rewards – This idea can be incorporated into any game. Play 5 minute to win it games (here’s a lit of challenges). When one person completes the challenge, or wins, move onto the next selecting a different person to start. Reward winners with a small sweet for the first, 3rd, 4th and 5th games. If the winner of the second game asks for a reward say you have heard them and thank you for the reminder. At the end sit the youngsters down and ask them to review the games, which did they enjoy more. Ask the winner of the second game how it felt not to be rewarded.

Mordecai (Esther 2) | Craft
| This mordecai craft is a simple and yet effective way to portray the story in a memorable way. These little viewers are simple to make up and easy to customise. They work best when held up to the light, reminding us that our view of the world is best when we look to God. |  |
King Xerxes (Esther 6) | Worksheet
This worksheet concentrates on the notion of honouring challenging the children to think of how they can hour those around them. It uses a series of images of professionals that serve us, asking how we can hour their work. It then has a little reminder of the phrase – the man the king delights to honour – in the form of a little puzzle.
The sheet can be done individually or as group work.
The PDF can be downloaded by clicking on the images.
