Fiery Furnace Drama and Scenery

I wrote a drama for this story that uses at least 10 people. You can use 20 or more since you need a crowd for all of the scenes. You can also do it with less than 10 people if you allow some people to have double roles. We used our adult teachers along with the students. The script is attached to this lesson.

Scene One takes place in the throne room. To make this room, I hang plastic purple table clothes from rods I have installed in my classroom. The thrones are actually folding lawn chairs (fit for a king and queen -ha! ha!) You can see additional throne room instructions in the Esther lesson.

Scene Two, we find ourselves out in the field before the gold statue that GoldStatueNebuchadnezzar had built. This is my favorite frugal prop. As I was thinking of how to visualize the statue, I remembered that we had a roll of gold foil Christmas paper at the church. Most rolls of wrapping paper have at least 19 feet on them, so you will have plenty to make a statue that goes from floor to ceiling.

I found a really simple picture of the statue online. I printed it onto a transparency and then used a black sharpie to make the outline clear (I simplified the statue to make it easier to draw). I taped the foil to the wall and drew the statue using the overhead projector. I was able to cut it out right on the wall. Here is the final product. You could do the same thing with a computer and projector. The statue only cost a dollar or two since I got the paper on sale after Christmas. What a bargain!


When we did the drama, I downloaded trumpet fanfare ahead of time and played it at the appropriate time in the script.


The last scene takes place at the fiery furnace. I wrote about how I made the furnace in this post about repurposing. Here is a picture of it again.
