David & Goliath in a Child’s Words

After teaching a Bible lesson I like to go back and let my students tell the story back to me. Today, we went through the stories of David and Goliath, Daniel and the Lion’s Den, and Shadrack, Mechak, and Abednego. This is how one of my little boys told the story (I wish I could post a video of it….):

Teacher: “We have been talking about in Bible time of people who were brave even though it may have been hard. We’ve talked about David and Goliath. Can somebody tell me the story of David and Goliath?”
Student: “Well David went to fight Goliath. He got this many stones (held up five fingers) from the stream. He got his slingshot and put one stone in it and pulled back (demonstrated pulling back) then swug it roud and roud and roud…then the dragon (sounded like dragon)…then the stone went up (demonstrated the stone going up) and hit the giant on the head and the giant came tumbling down!!! (can you tell what song we've sung over and over again???)
