in joshua and the battle of jericho

The Friday faith-filled family fun blog is a series of weekly posts with fun activities based around Bible stories. Today's activities go with the story of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho, found in Joshua chapter 6.

How do you get your kids to rake up the leaves?  We recently had a family fun night (actually a fun night with friends) that included raking the leaves AND having fun learning about the Bible story of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho!

Here are five fun activities that go with the story of Joshua:

Memory-Making Meals Monday: Super Easy Sandwich Castle!

in castle

I love easy, and I love fun—so when I was in a creative mood, I came up with this idea for a super easy castle made out of sandwiches!  I served it on the first day of school (but it would also be perfect for a "castle family fun night").

castle_sandwiches

I made two kinds of sandwiches for this castle.  The "grown-up" sandwiches were in the middle (deli-style turkey, avocado, tomato and bacon), and the turrets were the kid sandwiches (peanut butter is a favorite in our household).  For the crust-less turrets, I used a special sandwich maker from Pampered Chef, but a round cookie cutter or glass would also work to make circle-shaped sandwiches.  I put one short wooden skewer through each turret, and topped each turret with a cucumber slice and a grape tomato.  For the main part of the "castle,"  I put four short skewers through the stack of sandwiches and added a grape tomato to the top of each skewer for the "battlements."  I added some baby carrots around the castle for the "moat."  I served our sandwiches with soup, and it ended up being a very easy dinner to prepare.

Since this sandwich castle would be perfectly paired with some castle-type books and activities, I'll be posting more castle ideas this week!

Friday Faith-Filled Family Fun Blog: the Story of Joseph in Egypt

in faith and fun

The Friday faith-filled family fun blog is a series of weekly posts with fun activities based around Bible stories. Today's activities go with the story of Joseph in Egypt.

Our family loves having "family fun nights," and some of those fun nights happen to be Bible fun nights. This summer I used the same concept, but we invited some friends over for a fun-filled Bible study. I know, "fun-filled" and "Bible study" don't usually go in the same sentence—but maybe they should! My boys are having a blast with their friends, and they are learning about the Bible at the same time.

For this fun Bible study, we learned about Joseph, particularly the part of the story when Joseph interpreted the Pharoah's dreams, and the Pharoah put Joseph in a place of power and responsibility. I found out what the boys already knew about the story of Joseph, we read Genesis 41, took a fun quiz and talked about the passage. Mind you, these are young boys (ages five to barely eight), but they were actually engaged in the story! But to keep them engaged, we added some fun elements to the evening.

in noah's ark

The Friday faith-filled family fun blog is a series of weekly posts with fun activities based around Bible stories. Today's activities go with the story of Noah's ark.

Noah's ark is a story that my kids have heard from an early age. Animals and a big boat—it is a very appealing story for little ones. Now that my kids are getting older, I love the idea of getting a deeper meaing out of the story (and having fun at the same time). So we tried having a family fun night with a few friends!

The Food:

In our typical fashion, we started with some themed food. I served Noah's ark soup (chicken noodle soup with cracker boats and cracker fishies) and kiwi boats.

"Memory-Making Meals Monday" is a new regular blog post feature that includes meal ideas for fun-filled family dinners and/or kid-friendly snacks.

This summer our family has enjoyed a lot of baseball-themed family fun. Our youngest started t-ball, so baseball has been a popular topic in our home. My kids love special baseball treats at mealtime—perhaps your family might enjoy these super easy ideas too!

Let's start with dessert first. What could be easier (or more appealing) than a baseball made from frozen yogurt/ice cream?
