Our family has had so much fun, and we have learned so much, by acting out Bible stories together! A child's natural love for action and drama provides a wonderful opportunity for teaching spiritual truths.
Simple dramatizing can help children pay better attention to Bible reading, and can help them remember and understand stories better. Through stories, a child can see God's unchanging character, as well as the consistent consequences of man's decisions throughout history.
And--drama gives an energetic body something to do!
This book is a collection of ideas to inspire some simple story-acting in your family.
-
Easy costumes (including an almost-instant tunic and cape)
