Our PiPas have been meeting virtually during the Covid pandemic. We have recently completed the Bible Basics badge. The hardest part of this badge when meeting virtually is requirement #17. Since this is not an optional there is no way around it. But our girls did great. With the help of family they were able to complete requirement #17.
Requirement #17 has the girls prepare a skit, illustrating one of Jesus’ parables. I provided the girls with a list of parables and armed with their smart phones, and the help of their families they were able to create some amazing skits. I was then able to share the skits electronically to the other units and completed this requirement.
Jesus used 46 different parables during his time on earth. To help you with this requirement I want to share a list of a few parables I found.
- The Two Builders (Matthew 7:24–27; Luke 6:46–49)
