I think they forgot how to sing this one. I Want to be Like Daniel, I Want to be Like Ruth (Boys) I want to be like Daniel… (Girls) I want to be like Ruth… (Boys) I want to be like Daniel… (Girls) I want to be like Ruth… (Girls) For Ruth was so, so, sweet and kind (Boys) And Daniel was a mighty man (Boys) I want to be like Daniel. (Girls) I want to be like Ruth.

Today marked the last Sunday for my 5th graders before promotion to Jr. High. They start school tomorrow. And yet, they randomly spouted this song this morning singing the opposite parts. I turned the video on, and a couple of the boys that had been singing the Ruth part refused to do it for the camera. I was so entertained. Really, I was. Seriously.

To follow-up on last night's post about Daniel, here is our special presentation about Ruth. I assigned everyone a character and made them act out the book of Ruth. Except the laying at Boaz's feet part. They kind of refused. I narrated from The Gospel Story Bible by Marty Machowki (New Growth Press).
