Crafts and Activities for The Good Samaritan

For Younger Children:

  • Love Your Neighbor Band-Aid 
  • To create, you'll need a sheet of paper, scissors, markers/crayons, and glue.
    • To see an example, click here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/440297301053714792/ 
  • Fold the paper in two and cut out a band-aid shape.  Cut the top piece in half.
  • Glue the outer ends of the two top pieces onto the bottom piece.  You should be able to fold them back and reveal the middle.  Decorate the top piece like a bandaid, and then you can open it to reveal "Love your neighbor" or another biblical message of your choosing!

For Older Children

  • Film a Video Recreation of The Good Samaritan Parable
    • If your child has any interest in movie-making, this beloved parable lends itself well to filming both biblical and modern re-tellings!
    • Encourage your child / children to write up a script, and you can use your phone to film.  There are a few good free movie-maker apps out there that can help you create a video using clips.
    • Shoot as many takes as your children need and then put it together.  Voila, a new home movie!
 
  • Creating a board game
    • Use your child's creativity to create a board game based on this story.  You can see a few examples at the websites below, but I'd encourage your child to be creative about how their game will work!
