The time of the Judges is an exciting, action-packed period in Israel’s history! You can really make the stories come to life for children. The workbook, lesson notes and cube craft were put together for a Bible Camp (5 Sunday School sessions) for a 7-9 year old class.

Items needed to make the cube craft:

- Pom poms (for Eglon)
- Googly eyes (for Eglon and Samson)

Each day we did a different side of the cube, to go along with the lesson.
