Moses

This past Sunday we began our study of the life of Moses with a grand opening improv play. Josue narrated while two different groups of kids went through the motions of the Bible characters: Pharaoh with four guards, Pharaoh’s daughter with her servant, Moses, his mother, and his sister. We even had some home-made items and last-minute costumes.

Thank goodness my mother supports Josue’s love of camouflage shorts—if not, we couldn’t have casted so many soldiers for the play. We made their swords out of construction paper and wood, which some lucky actors got to take home (to use to annoy their mothers or siblings, I am sure).

Pharaoh showed his noble royalty in a lovely bathrobe and crown from KFC. The pharaoh’s daughter should have felt honored to have one of my favorite dresses for visual appeal. And clearly, a princess needs a crown from KFC to show her heritage.

The servant and Moses’ family owe thanks to Melissa’s fabric collection for their head gear. And of course, what drama wouldn’t have Moses with his baby bottle in a laundry basket floating down a river of blue bed sheets?

The kids enjoyed it thoroughly, almost as much as us adults. We were happy to have David and his crew spend the afternoon with us. They helped in the set-up and process of the theatrical performance, also.

I hope you enjoy the pictures of our production.
