The 'counter' on these stats was reset 2 years ago, and thus, doesn't reflect views before 2012. The 'Like' feature was only turned on recently
Focus: Teaching with Drama
Do you automatically think "script and costumes" when you think of teaching a Bible story through Drama?
Most of us do. it's a time-honored approach that has its time and place in our lessons. It's an easy concept to pull off if you have a kid-friendly script, props, scenery, and a little bit of staging. (In fact, you'll see a lot of those types of drama lessons and scripts here at Rotation.org.)
But drama in the classroom can mean a whole lot more than standing in costumes and reading a script!
...And drama techniques can be used in more than one part of your lesson plan.
When looking at your drama lesson, ask these questions:
- How can we dramatize the class introductions and opening?
- How can we dramatize the Bible reading and discussion?
- How can we move beyond costumes and scripts when dramatizing the story?
- And how can we use drama to reflect or pray?
