Children's Drama
Drama has been a part of my life ever since I saw "The Wizard of Oz" as live theater. I love giving children fun, creative, and growth-building scripts to help them learn and share Bible stories and lessons. I make them easy to rehearse to keep children engaged. I always include a key lesson that both children and adults need to review. And I always start with imagination--the key to every child's inner actor.
Don't have a lot of time to rehearse? Uses quick-start techniques to captialize on imagination and immediately engage children in a Bible sketch or interactive story. Imagination cuts rehearsal time and increases the fun factor. Use these short drama pieces to enhance a lesson or share in worship. This collection includes New and Old Testament scripts as well as one for Christmas. They need simple costumes or none at all. No royalty.
