Parent Guide > The Story of David and Goliath

by The Book of Samuel 1611

Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.

This week in class, we’re reading "The Story of David and Goliath" by The Book of Samuel.

In this passage, the translation taken from the New King James Version Bible, the young and small shepherd David takes up the giant enemy warrior Goliath's challenge for battle in a true underdog fashion.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Honor & Courage and Resilience & Success as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How does a person overcome adversity?" and "What does it mean to be brave?"

Ways to support your child:

  • Ask your child about this religious text at home:
    • What was "The Story of David and Goliath" about?
    • What did you learn about Honor & Courage?
    • What did you learn about Resilience & Success?
  • Watch The Bible - David and Goliath at home with your child.
