Tonight, I read chapter 43- "Daniel and the Lion's Den" in the LDS Old Testament Stories book (though I've just now discovered that there is also a movie I could have shown...) and then we acted it out a couple of times. We made a little "den" in the corner and the king sat on a certain chair as the throne, etc. I even had a tutu to put on the lion's face as a mane, but the kids found it annoying, so we didn't end up using it.
It was short and sweet and rather fun. I'll do something like this again, for sure. :)
PS when I said we were going to act out a story, my 3-year-old said, "can I be the giant?" referencing when we did this for the story of David and Goliath in January. Yay! She remembered!
