100 Creative Techniques for Teaching Bible Stories

Our faith stories have been passed down from generation to generation, and entrusted to us to share in fresh and interesting ways that make an impression. You’ll find here a wealth of practical possibilities for telling and reviewing these stories to the young and old. These easy-to-use techniques require very simple materials; for some you need only a Bible and your imagination. Each technique can be used for multiple purposes: to teach a prayer, to tell the story of a saint, or to enjoy a Scripture story in a new way. For each teaching technique there is a list of materials needed, a clear description of the technique, and examples of how to use it. 100 Creative Techniques for Teaching Bible Stories is a treasure chest of fun ideas and activities. It is an ideal resource for catechists and religion teachers as well as for those preparing liturgies, summer programs, and intergenerational activities.
