This is part 2 of Feeding Elijah. Part 1 is here. I used props and story telling for part II. Lifeway has an excellent blog on Bible storytelling that includes 6 steps of preparation for telling the story.
I acted out parts of the story as I told it, and then had 2 props I brought out at the appropriate time.
You always know when you have engaged your kids when they start to question things from the story. They wanted to know if you could really make bread with just oil and flour. I googled it, and sure enough, you can. Click here for the recipe and full instructions.
Recipe:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 T olive oil
- 1/2 cup water
