Shepherd And Sheep
Children's Activity
Object:
Teachers: Make a game from today's text. Tell your students
that you are the shepherd and they are the sheep. The sheep have
been in the pasture all day. Now it is time for the shepherd to
lead the sheep safely home for the evening. In single file lead
the sheep around the room. As you lead, you will cross streams,
hills, valleys and pass near other landforms. When you arrive
safely at home turn and hold both hands of the student behind
you. You and the first student have formed the gate that the
sheep will pass through to safety. Then, one by one, call the
name of each of your students. Hold your hands in the air to
allow each student to pass through and enter your circle. As each
new student enters have that student join your hands. As more
hands are joined, the gate becomes a larger circle of friends and
safety. Soon each of your students will be inside the gate and
will be part of the safe circle of friends.
Parents: Play the follow-the-leader game at home. Suggest that your child be the shepherd. If possible, invite other members of your family to participate.
