Creation Story Drama Workshop
View and print the attached PDF of the lesson.
Summary:
- Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2:3
- Focus: God Creates Life
Activities: Students will reenact the days of creation leading up to the creation of humans through the use of the Shadow Puppet technique. A script is included in the PDF. They will video and watch their performance, then discuss. See the video of a 3rd and 4th grade class using the script to create their shadow puppet presentation (posted to YouTube).
Suggested Improvements: Suggest various students take turns narrating. Suggest more life application such as, "What were plants created for?" ..."What were YOU created for?" "How does God feel about Creation?" "How does God want us to feel about Creation."
You may even have a shadow puppet representing the creative presence of God working in each day of Creation rather excitedly to convey and provide a discussion point about God's attitude.
You are welcome to use it in part or entirely. In addition to printing the PDF, you can copy the text from the PDF by dragging it with your mouse and copying/pasting into your own document. You can quickly save the PDF to your computer, then upload the PDF to https://simplypdf.com/ and convert it to a Word doc for easy editing in Word.
