Students Interview Esther
Categories: Esther, Power of Prayer, Putting God First
Female teachers - if you feel comfortable, come dressed as Esther and let the children interview you.
If you prefer not to be costumed, make a sign with Esther's name on it and place it on yourself or any pupil in class and let the class members ask her questions. They can be reporters, preparing a piece for your ongoing Sunday School news paper or magazine, or a film crew ready to do a documentary on Esther's life.
Let the children get the inside story on Esther. Some questions might include:
- How did you feel when the King
wanted you to be part of his harem?
- What is a harem?
- Why would that be frightening?
- Were you surprised when the King
selected you for his bride?
- What happened to his previous
wife?
- What religion are you?
- Does that make a difference to
the King?
- Why do you think he selected you?
- What is your uncle's name? [Mordecai]
- What did he ask you to do? [Talk
with the King about saving her people]
- Were you afraid? [The Queen could
only talk to the King if he called
her; otherwise he could kill her]
- How did the King greet you?
- What did you ask for?[a banquet]
- Who was invited?
- Did you have to fix the meal or
did your servants prepare the meal?
- What did you ask the King at dinner?
- How did that affect Haman?
- Who had Haman prepared the gallows
for?
- What happened instead?
- What is the name of the feast
the Jews celebrate every year for
the defeat of the Jews' enemies?
