David & Goliath : Primary Singing Time Idea

Before David faced the giant, Goliath, he gathered FIVE smooth stones from a brook (1 Samuel 17:40).

For Primary, I chose a name from our choosing sticks.  That child got 5 (paper) stones - 5 chances to hit Goliath.  

If they hit him, they got to pick a song from the board.  If they missed, I chose the song to sing.

My kids had a lot of fun with this and in between songs I made sure to talk more about David and his courage, faith, and bravery.  

At the end, I made sure to tell them that this is not only a neat story in the scriptures - but that we can learn from it.  When we are faced with challenges, the Lord with give us strength to accomplish them if they be His will.
