Reply to "Video / A-V Workshop Lessons and Ideas for Ruth"

Veggie Tales:

 

I previewed the Veggie Tales DVD, "Duke and the Great Pie War" for use in our Sundays of Summer (SOS) program and am going to use it in our Ruth rotation this fall.

 

While not biblical in the sense of following the exact story, I think the Veggie Tale video cleverly illustrates many qualities and values from the story:

  • being kind and friendly to foreigners (the "Rhubarbarians".);
  • obligations to extended family, (one of the veggie characters says "If Gildersleves brother won’t look out for family, you must" ) gets strong emphasis;
  • "looking out for others is true love" was one of the lines;
  • the "gleaning" law is even in the video (Bob tells "Duke" to let Sweet Petunia pick up the leftover apples from the Orchard.)

 

I like videos that depict themes from the Bible story in a way different from what is written in the Bible. This makes for good discussion and the kids are really good at making the connections.
