Ruth Trusts God

Ruth has long been one of my most favorite Bible stories.  "Where you go, I'll go" are very powerful words, as you can hear here.

Game Ideas
"Ruth's Run" is a game idea taken from the book Bible Story Games for Preschoolers by Group Publishing. In this game there are 2 large bowls, dry beans and small paper cups.  You fill one bowl with the beans, and place it on the floor.  Place the other bowl across the room.  Now have students take cups of beans from one bowl to the empty bowl, taking turns like in a relay.  Say, "The Bible tells us about Ruth, who worked hard stooping to scoop up grain and carry it home so that she and her mother-in-law could eat." You could also play with 2 different "teams" if you would like.
