Easy to use and fun!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
We have used this book for several years with 5th and 6th graders and they LOVE it. We don't even try to have them memorize their parts. We just give them copies of the script to use and highlight their parts. Everyone wants to be in the skits and we get a lot of laughs, while also experiencing truths from Scripture. We would like another book like this one with new skits!
What a great idea!

This book offers a unique way to start a conversation on many Christian topics. You will need several(2-6) characters for each skit, so either have a lot of puppets or a lot of volunteers ready before you buy it. Most of the skits are written for kids to act out, but I'm not sure that kids could memorize that much dialogue every week. Going with puppets would be best. Each skit will take approximately 5-10 minutes to put on and the setup is minimal.
