Now what would a clock have to do with the parable of the ten virgins you’re asking? Well, for younger children, and sometimes older kids a clock can help represent how important it is to be prepared and run on schedule. Because the last five virgins didn’t spend their time wisely and either forgot or neglected to fill their lamps when they needed to, they missed the wedding. You can make clocks with the children to help them remember how important it is to be on time to important events and to come prepared.
