About This Book

A practical guide reports an experiment in using dramatization to teach Bible narratives to children, emphasizing educational aims and child-led activity. It outlines methods for adapting specific Old and New Testament stories into staged scenes, with sample dramatizations of Joseph, David and Goliath, Moses, Ruth, Esther, Abraham, Daniel, and several parables. Chapters examine dramatic qualities, story selection, and the psychological and moral outcomes of active participation. Detailed guidance treats stage setting, properties, costuming, and the organization of a church dramatic club so that children help formulate roles, dialogue, and simple production elements under the leader's facilitation.
