For class discussion:<br />
1. How could Jacob and Rachel tell that the people were thirsty and tired?<br />
2. Is it important that Rachel greeted the guests with a smile? Why or why not?<br />
3. What do you think Jacob did or said when he reached his aunt and uncle and their<br />
friends?<br />
4. What are some things that you would do <strong>for</strong> guests?<br />
5. What happens in your house be<strong>for</strong>e guests arrive? How do your mother or father<br />
prepare <strong>for</strong> guests? Why do they do these things?<br />
For class life:<br />
1. Create a plan <strong>for</strong> greeting guests who come into the classroom. Maybe hachnasat<br />
orchim or greeter could be added to the job chart. Should every child be<br />
responsible <strong>for</strong> least smiling at guests?<br />
2. Encourage children to act out the story of Abraham and Sarah in the dramatic play<br />
area, perhaps by knocking on the door and announcing, “Hello, I’ve come to visit<br />
you!”<br />
3. Give children some homework: Have them ask their parents how they care <strong>for</strong><br />
guests in their home. Maybe make a class book of each family’s favorite thing to<br />
do <strong>for</strong> guests with photos of children with guests in their homes.<br />
