Is your ministry shy on volunteers? Are you afraid that the children are getting bored with the same teacher each week? You can create come-back characters who can bring excitement to the classroom just by going to second hand stores and purchasing dress up clothes and wigs. You need to develop a persona for each person you become. An old woman, an animal, a game show host. It’s wonderful to hear the children say “I wonder who is coming today?”. Become the storyteller your children need. They will look forward to these visitors showing up on different occassions.

Fairy Tales with Gospel Applications
Several fairy tales have great gospel applications. Children are familiar with them and so can relate easily to these gospel principles.
–Use puppets or stuffed animals as characters from the story – hand them out to children as you tell the story.
–Let the children themselves be characters in the story. You can use props to give more flair for the character, or I have made up garbage bag masks. » I want to read more! »

The Tiny Star
Show a star Christmas ornament or a star tree topper and ask the children if they have any stars decorating their house for Christmas.
Share the story book, The Tiny Star, by Arthur Ginolfi.
After reading it aloud and sharing the pictures, ask, How many of you have ever felt like Starlet? Big grown-ups tell you that you are too small. Each of you are a little bit like Starlet. You may be too small to do somethings now, but as the Old Moon told Starlet, ‘Someday, somewhere…’ » I want to read more! »

Videos with Gospel Applications
Several movies/videos have great gospel applications. The children are familiar with them so it is easy for them to relate to the gospel principles being taught. Use only a short, few minutes clip of the movie/video to reinforce the lesson objective. It adds power and visual effects to your presentation. The children will have seen these movies over and over, but probably no one has brought out these principles to them. So after the film clip, you can discuss the movie more at length and discuss what happened next or the consequences. » I want to read more! »
