A Play About Eve

Today is Friday.....ahhhhhh. It's been a good busy week and it's come to an end nicely. We didn't have a lot of problems this week with behavior like we did the first week. It seems that we are falling nicely into a routine.

This week we finished the final days of creation and talked about the day God rested. It's been so interesting to talk with the kids about the first days of the world. Their ideas about what it may have been like are so beautiful.

After circle time we did a play I put together using the story from yesterday and part of the story from today about Adam and Eve. Eden played Eve. Joey played Adam and the serpent. I played narrator and God. It was a lot of fun acting out the parts. We goofed around a bit, but the story really seemed to hit home while we each did our parts.

Here Adam and Eve admire the beauty of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Eve eats the fruit from the tree....

Then shares the fruit with Adam who also eats it
