Gideon's Light!

This activity is a fun way for you and 

your child to re-enact Gideon's battle!  

You only need two items:

Cups and glow sticks...

and a darkened room or go outside after dark.

Let your child "break and shake" 

his glow stick so it begins to shine.  

(let him do yours, too.
It's fun to break something and not be in trouble)

Put the activated glow stick under a cup

and march around in the "dark".

On your signal, blow your trumpets;

your clenched fist works well, or you can make one.

(we made some for a previous activity here)

Shake off the cup and hold the glow stick high in the air

and shout,

"For the Lord and for Gideon!"
