Reply to "VIDEO/A-V Workshop Lessons & Ideas for Esther"

Stump the Vegetables

From an idea originally suggested by member Janet Chisolm

Play the Veggie Tales movie:  "Esther, the girl who became Queen"

When the movie is over, Play "Stump the Vegetables"

Divide into two teams and call players (vegetables) forward one at a time to the front and give them ONE thing from the Bible or Veggie Tales list and have them tell you its corresponding match from either the bible or movie.  Or, recite a line or lyric from the movie and ask them to fill in the blank. Award vegetables such as carrot sticks and celery.

For example:

In the Bible...                                       In Veggie Tales it was...

-----                                                     -----

Sentences to death                              Land of Perpetual Tickling

Are women liked by the king?               Talent contest with winner being queen.

Haman                                                A squash

Mordecai                                             Pa Grape

Assassins to the king?                         French Peas

Read Court Records                            Read Journal

Banquet for king and Haman                Banquet for king and Haman

So you might say to the "veggie"
"In the Bible, the Jews were sentenced to death for not worshipping the King. What "land" were they sentenced to in the movie?  Award points.

As you preview the movie, write down OTHER PARALLELS to ASK ABOUT. I've only give you a few here. 

You might also ask questions about DIALOG and SONG LYRICS as "fill in the blank" questions.

As you get near the end of the quiz, ask opened questions more along the lines of "what does the story teach us?"
