Games and Activities
ACT OUT THE STORY
Use building blocks to build a
castle in the middle of the room
or table. Act out the events of
the six days. Go around the
brick/large table once then go
back and sit and call that the
first day. Repeat the same for
six times then do the seven
rounds on the seventh time.
You could also act it out with
toy people.

LOUD MUSIC
Kids love to make noise, much
more than your neighbors
enjoy to hear, so be sensible
with this one. Find some music
instruments or use some items
from around your home. Pots,
pans, buckets, kitchen roll
tubes or the horn from this
week's craft. On the count of
seven, have them make as
much noise as possible.
HIDE THE SPY
Find a toy which will become
one of the spies in Jericho. Take
it in turns to hide the spy
somewhere in the room or
house.
To make it easier, you could
play hot or cold as the child
moves closer or further away.
