Taking It Into The Streets

Taking It Into The Streets

By CMIV

This is an idea I hope to put into action very soon — Take a small camper or trailer (someone in your congregation may have one they want to give away!) and turn it into a traveling puppet stage. In the warm months, take the mobile puppet theater into neighborhoods around your church. Simply open the stage, do a puppet performance for the kids on the street. Follow-up with free snow cones or popsicles and an invitation to church! I think this is a great way to get the kids’ attention. After visiting the neighborhoods several times you can also start establishing relationships with the kids and maybe even their parents!

A Night with Puppets

A Night with Puppets

By CMIV

This is an outreach tool that I thought of, because all kids (and adults) love puppets.
Put on a puppet show for your town, set the stage up down on the main street. Have people do a couple of action songs to get the crowd interested and then bring out the puppets. You can do skits, jokes and even songs. I like to use Righteous Pop Music as many people identify with the tunes. Have a sausage sizzler as well and sell sausages for $1Have popcorn popping, donuts frying, drinks selling and have a really fun night. by Lami Hamood

Puppets Invading A Nursing Home

Puppets Invading A Nursing Home

By CMIV

Just last night our puppet team did an outreach ministry to a nursing home. It was a very rewarding time. We had thirty minutes to perform. The first thing we did was set up the sound equipment and stage. Then we got busy performing.

We began with an introduction. Our director introduced the team members and where we were from. Then we went behind stage to get busy. We started with some jokes. Next we performed an older song One Day At A Time. They really liked it. Then we performed a Valentine’s Day skit, that had a point and some funny parts. We finished » I want to read more! »
