Well last night at supper she was not wanting to eat, kept getting out of her chair to walk around... So I casually said "O do you remember how in our story Joseph was a very important man, and they people had to listen and obey him?" "Yes" she said. "Well, daddy is our important leader in our home and we have to do what he says. Since he is a lot like Joseph, lets play a game and let daddy pretend to be Joseph!" - Oh, she got excited and a bit silly at this idea! So we played "Joseph Says". Joseph would say things like "take a bite of your food" - "wipe your face with your napkin" - and because we aren't complete "meanies" (and because my husband is a big kid) we even had to "walk like an Egyptian"
It was a great way to adapt and incorperate our school activity into family time, AND it got our daughter to eat her supper! Win-Win!!
