Acting and Drama Activities
Get kids up and moving with a quick skit. Kinesthetic and extroverted learners
really benefit from putting themselves in the characters' shoes.
| Act it Out |
Have students act out parts in the
story. Narration can be done by you, one student, or as choral reading.
You don't need lots of props or costumes, and you don't have to do the
entire story. One scene done with one prop can have a great impact. |
| Broadcast it |
Do a "TV news" broadcast of a
Biblical event with interviews of witnesses, etc.
Variation:
publish a newspaper covering events in your lesson. |
| Charades |
Play charades with Biblical
characters or scenes as the subject.
Guesstures: Bible Edition
 A challenging version of split-second Bible charades, this
fast-action game requires quick thinking! Describe words found in the Bible for your teammates using just gestures. But hurry! After a few seconds, the timer makes the word card disappear! Four or more players, ages 8 and up.

| Walk a Mile in their Shoes |
Blindfold a
student, hand them an object from a bag you've prepared before. See if they
can identify it. Give each student a turn. Then discuss what it was like for
those Jesus healed. |
| Biography |
Do a "This is Your Life" segment on
a character. |
| Following Orders |
Follow the Leader and Simon Says
can teach students about discipleship and obeying God.
Variation:
have students follow your directions as you say, for example, 1) all
students wearing blue stand up, 2) all students with brown eyes, clap your
hands, 3) everyone whose name has an S in it, jump up and down, 4) if you
have a dog, raise your hand; etc. |
| Dolls |
Bring action figures or dolls to
class with robes to simulate Bible characters. Have the students act out the
story with the dolls either while you tell it or afterwards as a review. |
| Puppets |
 Puppets can act out a story and
interact with the students.
 These
puppets from Oriental Trading Co.
are generic enough to be used in multiple lessons.
