| Ishmael and Hagar must have slowly started to panic as the water ran dry, this craft looks at that emotion and how the angel reveals the oasis for them. It’s a simple sliding window craft that’s quite intuitive to put together. |  |

This worksheet for Boaz is a good final review. It both explores the ideas presented in today’s story but also refers back to the stories in the previous 2 sessions. With dot to dot, or statements, discussion and text checking there is a mix of activities suitable for independent readers to work thorough in small groups.
To complete the worksheet you will need colouring pens or pencils, something to write with and a bible that includes the old testament.
The PDF can can be downloaded by clicking on the image.
Staying with our theme of shoes the last craft for this lesson are these sweet little paper shoes depicting Boaz and Ruth together. If you are looking for a more sandal like craft check out this threaded paper sandal used for the John the baptist lesson. (Image linked) |

The story of Boaz and Ruth contains a few details that are both common and yet very significant. The idea of claiming, the importance of shoes, and the companionship of marriage are all themes found in the following game suggestions.
Walking shoes – This game works best with younger children and those with smaller feet. You’ll need a pile of adult shoes and a basic start and end line. Split the shoes into 2 piles (one from each pair) and have the kids take turns ‘walking’ the shoes from the start to the end line. Each child can take up to 4 shoes per turn (hands and feet) but each must walk across the floor, no carrying.
Match cards – Head over to this post and print out some flip and match card especially for this lesson. The set contains 7 sets of shoes alongside one Boaz card and one Ruth card… because they obviously made a pair!
| These cards are always fun and so versatile! This little flip card ‘match up’ game is perfect for quiet play, basic craft or an extension activity. It features period relevant shoes not modern shapes which could lead to discussions about comfort and protection. Includes 1 card of Boaz holding a shoe, 1 card of Ruth, and 7 sets of shoes. (Ruth and Boaz are a match for each other!) |
