Knock Her Out!

Last night during family devotions we read about the Good Samaritan and then at Nia's request, we acted it out. We had different parts being: the robbers who beat up the man, the man who gets beat up and robbed, the Good Samaritan, the donkey, the innkeeper, the priest & levite who passed by on the other side of the road. The first time we played, Nia was the man who got beat up and I was the one who beat her up. Ian , our 3 year old, saw this and decided he didn't want to be the Good Samaritan anymore, he wanted to, in his words, "knock her out". We got such a kick out of that. We played three times with everyone getting a chance to play each part. Romeo was a great donkey that everyone wanted to ride, Nia was good at getting beat up, Ian was a good robber. All-in-all that is one parable my kids won't ever forget!!
