How to Tell Bible Stories with Puppets

Video Transcript

"I'm Linda Leon with Expert Village and I've been working with children for a very long time. Today we're going to talk to you about teaching your children how to obtain or keep the protestant faith. And I always like to use simple things because that makes things very practical and easily transferable to your children. So today we're going to talk about telling stories. Always make sure to have a good set of Bible stories in your home to teach your children. I would recommend reading to your children daily, or at least having some specified point in the week where you get together, you sit down, and you teach your children the things of the Lord by reading. I always kept several type of Bible stories at home for my kids. But the other way that you teach your children is to really get involved. And so I brought my puppets with me today. This is my puppet called Red. And I have another puppet. That puppet is called Blue. And I have taught the children in my neighborhood, every one of the children in my neighborhood with these puppets for years. So I get together with these kids, sit them down on the floor, and we have a wonderful time using these puppets to tell Bible stories because they're so funning looking. They're hilarious to look at and when you animate them by moving them around and doing all kinds of silly things with them, the kids absolutely love them. So I would encourage you, if you want to pass your Christian faith on to your children. Invest. Don't only tell the story by reading it, but use puppets. Get something extraordinary to get them excited about the Word of God, and you will pass that on from generation to generation. And I'm Linda Leon, with Expert Village. "
