Many Bible stories can be retold effectively in play format. Events and life lessons can easily be illustrated by children or adults taking on the roles in the stories and creating their own mini plays on the spot. Begin by reading and discussing the story so that all participants understand the characters and messages important to retell. Try versions that are child friendly.
