Gideon Knocks Down The Idol of Baal

Baal was actually a statue of a cow. I placed little cows on
two of the "idols". I only had two cows, so the third idol
was a sheep.
This week in Little Hearts for His Glory, we studied the story of Gideon and how he knocked down the idol Baal and won the war against the Midianites. (Judges 6) In our Thinking Game, we were to make 'idols of Baal' and throw something to knock them down. The littles really enjoyed trying to knock down the idol!
Trying to use the beanbag to knock down the idols was a
lot harder than I thought it would be. At the end of the
game I let each little knock down one idol with their hands.
The idols have been knocked down.
Have YOU knocked down the idols in your life?

Fun lesson! I like the sheep cow! I don't know if we ever knock them all down, but hopefully we're trying! :-)

What a testament to us as adults to just knock down any idols that we would have in our own lives. Thanks for sharing.
