The Lord's Prayer
Clown Skit Idea
Summary of Lesson Activities:
show a section of Godspell DVD, then have kids dressed up as clowns and have the children think up contemporary situations to act out, then video tape.
Moderator adds: Here is a link to a Scene Guide created by Matt Page (UK). Note: the DVD chapter index is done by the Songs.
We just finished a rotation on the Lord's prayer.
The most creative was a drama/video. She showed a section of the video Godspell. Then the kids dressed up as clowns with brightly colored thrift shop clothes and make-up. Each week she emphasized a different part of the prayer and had kids think of a contemporary situation to act out, which she then video-taped. We are hoping to show the completed tape to the whole congregation. The idea to use Godspell in our Lord's Prayer rotation was from a rotation set I downloaded from this site. I can't seem to find the original source now, but wanted to give what credit I could.
