These easy-to-perform scripts are mainly action-based, with flexible casting and choral narratives. Each play is complete with five preparatory "beyond the script" sections. These non-linear building blocks explore elements, covered in the introduction, to familiarise the children with the material, including: character development, biblical application and dramatic techniques such as staging, costumes, creating effect, pitfalls and tableaux. There are also suggestions for extension material, including songs, poems and Bible readings.;This book is designed for adults working with 7-11s in both the church and primary education. The five plays are each geared towards specific year groups.
