A drama for younger children
This activity might best be used at the start of the session as an introduction to journeys. After acting out the story tell the group that today you are going to find out that God is with us on or journeys.
Walk round the room and read the rhyme with the children encouraging them to join in the mime with you.
"We're going on a lion hunt. We're going to catch a big one.
Uh oh grass, tall wavy grass!
We can't go over it. We can't go under it. We'll have to go through it!
> MIME CUTTING YOUR WAY THROUGH THE GRASS.
We're going on a lion hunt. We're going to catch a big one.
Uh oh a river, a cold, deep river.
We can't go over it. We can't go under it. We'll have to go through it!
> MIME SWIMMING THROUGH THE RIVER.
We're going on a lion hunt. We're going to catch a big one.
