i am sparticus: Solomon, Was a Wiseman!

Solomon, Was a Wiseman!

<<< Previous Entry: A brief series of links | This Month's entries | Next Entry: white t-shirts >>

I have to do an Primary School Assembly on Monday, which is generally fun, except for the fact that sometimes you have to do really awkward topics. Ever tried to explain the Tower of Babel to a child? Anyway, today's (or rather this Monday's) topic of awkwardness is Solomon. Who apart from being very wise, building a temple, and sleeping around, didn't really do much exciting stuff. More to the point you can't do an assembly about him with the focus on his faith, love or kindness or any other really tangible quality like that. Well apart from his wisdom, but then his wisdom only really seems to come across in one incident, and I fear that this incident reads far too Trisha like to form the basis of an assembly.
That said, give what kids are learning in schools a story about two prositutes and a baby is hardly going to suprise them

The BBC news site link is bad, remove the "2" from the URL and it'll work :)

heh, I remember having to teach that story at sunday school. I think we just called them 'two women'... (pathetically wussy, I know, but I didn't really have any great urge to explain to a bunch of nine-year-olds what a prostitute was, either)

how 'bout you do earlier in 1 Kings 3, where Solomon asks for wisdom?
